Bunnyshop Hearts: AA Vintage Eyewear
In today's Bunnyshop Hearts:
Dear BS:
I know you think American Apparel is totally pervy, and it is, but aren't these eyeglasses cool? I love them.
XO,
G. WE do, in fact, think AA is totally pervy. We do, however, wear much of their clothing, so so much for putting our money where are morals are. (This was amply demonstrated last week, when we tried to make our friend K. shop at Walmart, where she steadfastly refused to do.) Anyway: We like these alright. But just alright. We sort of prefer their vintage sunglasses collection. They are a bit hipster-ish to us. Here is another, more hipster-ish view:
She looks quite happy, but we don't quite trust them. Above: AA's unisex Vue eyeglasses, $50
We are pro-unisex frames, though. When we get our glasses replaced, after seven years of abusing our old pair, we are getting these, which are amazingly Daniel Liebeskind-esque, and we could not be more excited about them. Miracle of miracles, they were also one of the cheapest frames the store carries. Specsavers plastic frames, about $80
The fact that her eyes are really not the same size at all creeps me out in the lower picture.

I think those glasses (the aa ones) are ridiculous looking, but I do love AA clothes... and I think AA is pervy, too. Not because of their totally pornstar ads, but the guy that owns it is so gross.
and her eyes are the same size... she just has a droopy eyelid. :(

Yuck. I go to an art school and these are very popular with the trust-fund hipsters. They don't look very nice on most face shapes. Can we go back to wearing things that actually look good on us instead?

Way to turn a perfectly nice-looking girl all Downs-y, American Apparel. Yikes!

agreed. these are the kind of glasses you see on some really intriguing person and you want to copy their style, but then you realize that it's their style, not yours....these are definitely not something to be produced for the masses. i think they're a black rendition of SJR...no? http://www.deafdc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/03/sjr.jpg
