Sunglasses Inside?

JC · Post by JC » Sun Jul 27, 2008 7:41 am

Yesterday I went to downtown Atlanta. Atlantic Station in midtown actually. Here is what I noticed. Every store including the restaurant we chose. All I saw was the bruthas wearing their sunglasses inside! I'm not talking regular eyewear. I mean big gold jewel encrusted sunglasses in a dark restaurant

What gives, Has anyone else seen this in your area?

I skip ATL Station -- I just do the whole Lenox/Northpoint/Buckhead thing for shopping/dining. A couple of places in midtown are nice too (Shout! for sure)

Gotta hide the eyes and look cool doing it. Bling Bling attracts stupid females.

The U.S. Census bureau.
According to them, 0.7% of people in Idaho are Black.

Since there is no practical reason to wear them inside, the insecurity factor comes into play.

Or they are prescription and forgot the regulars at home.
Or they are about to do some welding.
Or the bling bling desire is strong.

I highly doubt, BIG dark, gold and jewel encrusted glasses are prescription.

I do think that some people look silly with their choice of attire but hey, live and let live. If they aren't hurtin' me any, so be it.

That is a conflict there.....either there are none..in which case the census would read 0%......

...if there are 0.7%..then the statement that there are non..is not true.

Did you happen to read the other post where I stated it was tongue and cheek?

And assumed that when your first said it. Regardless.

You're in Georgia, right?

Yeah, I like buckhead. I was just along for the ride (well actually I had to do the driving). Then we drove about 30 laps in the parking lot of Trader Joes looking for a parking spot. Pure insanity!

They also allow you to scope out people without them knowing they are being looked at (but they know you are):

cleavage
up-skirt shot
lump in pants (front)
lump in pants (rear)
etc.

I dunno...I've seen people wearing sunglasses inside most of my life.

Maybe they were scoppers as MD has indicated. I never gave it much thought.

Same here. They can look up my skirt all they want.

There was an ad just like this in a magazine, except the girl was holding a droplight, same girl under a hood of a car.

First thought that came to mind was that if she took off the dark sunglasses, maybe her dumb ass wouldn’t need the drop light.

Those are the dumbest crap I've seen in my entire life their like the giant funny glasses little kids wear. I love kanye's music and he has pretty good style so i'm quite confident that this was nothing more than a marketing scam and a SICK SICK CRUEL joke and probably bet. I'm sure he's makin loads and one of his friends probably had to streak down sunset or sumthin for losin that bet. Who woulda thought something so stupid would can on like that?
