As we mentioned earlier, we're not totally committed to wearing Ray-Ban wayfarers on our face this summer.

To sum up our sentiments about the phenomenon known as the wayfarer in a short and succinct matter, we would like to borrow a sentence from writer Hadley Freeman, whom recently wrote about the coveted frames:

"Many a poem, many a song, many an ode has been written about the human face, but I have yet to read one that suggests it might be improved by the addition of a pair of wonkily shaped plastic glasses in some kind of neon colour."

Ooh, Hadley. It's like you were reading our minds.

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.



It's that time of year again -- time to honor the songwriters for today's hottest hip hop and R&B performers. Producers, lyricists and managers filled the Beverly Hilton Hotel for the dinner and awards ceremony.

Since rappers where sunglasses everywhere they go, I've decided to do a gallery of my favorite shades for the
evening.

Hip hop stars and designer eyewear make for bad pictures, but good shopping options for those who want to hide from the cameras like a true playa.

At right, the 1.3 Megapixel Spy Camera Sunglasses. $99.99. Holy awesome.

It's hard to know how to feel about this lamp. On the one hand, it's made of something we really like -- aviators. On the other hand, that's a lot of perfectly good pairs of sunglasses to use on a lamp -- when they could be making someone look cool while also shading their eyes from the harsh rays of the sun. It's a bit of a conundrum.

One way to justify purchasing a lamp this outrageous is to remember one thing: while sunglasses might be one of the few accessories that men use to make a statement, furniture is another. Maybe you don't think much about what your furniture says about you, but other people do. A great lamp like this is a total conversation piece, plus it casts awesome shadows on your wall. Yeah, it's a pricey -- but it could really tie the room together.

We can see you, you've got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby. Well, we can't really see you, no need to feel violated or to put on pants (by the way, Don Henley can see you, always- do with that what you will).

Ray-Ban has brought the Wayfarer back. Again. It's not just for the boys of summer, but man, they'll look good in a pair.

Ray-Ban has been "genuine since 1937", which we understand was a damn fine year. They've been putting out some good stuff ever since.

So you scored an invite to a swanky poolside bash this summer, or, maybe it's not so swanky, but you still have people there you want to seriously impress. No doubt you're going to sport some killer shoes, and you'll probably have a fabulous bathing suit and cover-up planned. To finish the look, though, don't forget your sunglasses!

Please don't stop the music!We had a great weekend. We danced our butts off, sang our hearts out and probably had one too many beers at the Glow in the Dark tour in illy Philly on Saturday night. But as always, we were thinking of our dear reader's and before we went in to enjoy the likes of Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco (heart!), N.E.R.D. and the brilliant Kayne, we took a tour of tailgate heaven to see what's hot and what's not for concert gear this year.

Here is a breakdown of the ideal concert attire:

So your eyes need a little help, huh? Don't be miffed that you need glasses -- celebrate! This gives you a whole extra accessory to wear! Especially if you just need reading glasses and don't have to wear a specific prescription -- reading glasses are not terribly expensive, and you can find some amazing frames to show off your personal style.

Aviator sunglasses are so hot this season, but that in itself sometimes creates a problem -- everybody's wearing them. We always like to take a trend and find a slightly different way to rock it out, and that's why we're loving these.

Is that a home theater system on your head or are you just happy to see us? If you chose anything but "both" then keep reading. We've got something to show you.

The Vuzix iWear may look like something off of Star Trek, but it's much cooler. That's right, we said something was cooler than Star Trek (see Battlestar Galactica), deal with it.

This "face-furniture" as the good people at Firebox call it, provides "a fully immersive audiovisual assault" that replicates watching a 62" screen from a safe distance. Really. It's like watching a huge big screen on your face.

As the end of days draws closer and closer you probably find yourself wondering what you should wear. Is it formal? When the chemical warfare starts will the mall stay open? These are important questions, and that's why Diddo Velema has created this conceptual art project using Gucci and Louis Vuitton. There's got to be more to the final countdown than the Final Countdown, right?

Just like the bottles of water, rolls of toilet paper and case of Spam you have stashed in the basement, a gas mask is an important part of a well-stocked apocalypse survival readiness kit.

The thing is, you can't stay underground forever, eventually the Spam will gel beyond means of consumption and at some point you'll run out of shows on the TiVo. That's when you need to don your gear and head to the surface to see if anything besides cockroaches and Starbucks survived. Grab a raid latte and show all the mutants how to look fabulous.

It looks something like this:

Oh, and if these aren't enough, there's always this.

Designer Gas Masks is a conceptual art project. The masks are not real commercial products!
They are designed to be displayed in magazines and exhibited at galleries. They are not for sale.

There are lots of ways to protect your identity these days when it comes to your bank statements, credit cards, and internet passwords, but what about your physical identity? The one that stares at you in the mirror every morning? Now that veils are out and head wraps have become really culture-specific, there's really only face-paint, pantyhose, or bandannas. What do you go with when you're heading out to the night club and you don't want to look like you're robbing the place? That's when you need a pair of these black bar sunglasses.

It's so money it doesn't even know it. Claw Money to be exact. Claw is the handle, so to speak, of an ex-graffiti artist named Claudia. She was the queen of NYC before moving to L.A. and going legit with a career in styling and costume design for music videos. Her clients included KORN, Brian McKnight, GNR and Ice Cube.

She returned to New York and did some television and print ad styling work for Nike, Guinness, and Footlocker, to name a few.

Now she writing books and designing all kinds of stuff, some of which we may show you in the future, but for now you'll have to be content with these sweet shades, the Nuggets ($300), Gazelles ($250), and Aviators ($230). Sweet shades, indeed . You know your future is so bright that you want to wear them.

Adults aren't the only ones who need to protect their eyes from the sun -- little ones need that protection, too. And, just because your little one is a little furry (or a lot) and walks on all fours (and always will), that doesn't mean they can't get in on some stylin' sunglasses, too.

Think about it -- if you're outside, chances are they're outside, too. Right? So why not protect their eyes and give them some hot accessories in the process? Check out the gallery for the hottest styles for the small and/or furry ones in your life.

Some guys don't really accessorize -- baseball caps don't count. They don't have the necklace, earring, scarf, and handbag options that women have. Probably most of them are pretty happy about that. However, when it comes to sunglasses, guys are right in the with the gals -- there are plenty of choices to keep you looking fashion forward.

The best thing is, you can wear them, like, every day! Without washing them! And nobody will make fun of you! I know that's not how all guys feel about fashion, but for those of you who want your style to be easy and painless, sunglasses are a great way to amp up your style without putting in too much effort.

Two of the big trends for guys this season are the continuation of the aviator and the shield as well as some funkier plastic frames, like the Rayban Wayfarer we saw popping up last summer (and in Risky Business). And, as with the ladies' sunglasses, tortoise shell is poised to step up as a big trend for the guys.

Ladies, when it comes to sunglasses, we have it good this year. Some of the trends from the last year or so have continued to be shown by the major fashion houses, and the trends that are coming into fashion this year will be easy for most of us to transition into -- it's not like we're going from bootcut to skinny jeans here.

So what's hot for this spring? We'll continue to see oversized glasses, aviators (and variations on the aviator), and tortoise shell will continue creeping in as a major player. Additionally, watch for more '70s inspired frames, with muted tones and rounded lenses. Also, keep an eye out for gradient lenses -- dark on the top half and light on the bottom. The more pronounced gradient makes a much more dramatic statement, but you can opt for a subtle change if you prefer it and still be in fashion.

Really?WTF. Really?

Cyclops glasses?

On sale from classiceyeglasses on eBay, we have some eyeglasses for mythological Greek primordial beasts with vision problems. Bidding starts at $22.95.

Cyclopes, present in the works of Homer and Hesiod, are loose cannons, sort of like The Hulk and Mel Gibson. They are also known for their brute strength, sort of like The Hulk.

How can you smash up a Greek village or a Range Rover in a blind rage if you can't see very well? Hmm. I don't see the problem.

Enough of my silliness; these glasses are for applying makeup. This 60's-70's trend never really caught on, so don't scold yourself for forgetting (or not being born yet). The lens is on a hinge, and you can flip it side to side. In this way, you can apply makeup to one eye more accurately than if you had on no glasses at all.

From seller, classiceyeglasses:

"I think it would be much more fun to leave the lens stuck up in the middle and tell people it allows your 'third eye' to see better and that you stole them from Lela (the cyclopette on Futurama)."

Haha, classiceyeglasses. Let's be friends.

Springbling!Know what makes me feel like a movie star? Rhinestones in my sunglasses. But how about sunglasses with actual diamonds?

First things first: I can't have these. Can you? I consistently lose the 30% of my sunglasses that I don't break, then wreck with superglue. The problem? It gets dark. It gets dark and I don't "wear my sunglasses at night"** so I put them in my purse or set them on the table. I like to wear big sunglasses like these, so in order to carry a hard-shell case, I'd have to get a bigger purse and possibly a camel to carry it with, as there's already a lot of stuff in there.

These sunglasses are pretty great looking. German design, gold on black, and 1.65 carats of diamonds on the temples. Purchasing these sunglasses for the coming season would be sort of like saying "Oh hey, spring! I'm rich!"

You could wear Mary Kate Olsen draped around your shoulders and a feed sack and still feel chic wearing these glasses, appraised in Beverly Hills at $4,500. Why? Because money feels good. There, I said it. Bidding starts at $3,500 to wear fifty-five diamonds like an international jewel-thief. The eBay listing calls the style "Hip-Hop." I think the style is more "retro princess."

Except! These are men's sunglasses. WTF? Men, I ask you, do you want to wear bejeweled sunglasses? Who are you, Bob Hope? I don't care if you're P-Diddy; bejewelled sunglasses on men look silly.

**Doesn't apply to weekends.

Next time you're at Costco picking up a 5 gallon bucket of potato salad, you might want to stroll over to the sunglasses department. Tom Ford's eyewear is joining the surprisingly long list of designer goods being sold at the low-priced megamart. Prada, Versace, Fendi, and now Tom Ford -- it's all there for Costco members.

Yeah, I was surprised too -- I didn't even know that you could buy individually packaged sunglasses at Costco, much less a $1,300 purse. No, seriously, doesn't it seem sorta wrong to be buying designer handbags at Costco? What's next Cristal on the beer aisle at Wal-Mart?

If you're like me -- totally clueless about the world of Costco -- you ought to take a look at their website; just for your own entertainment. In the men's apparel section, you can grab anything from Citzens of Humanity jeans to a pair of teflon-coated mechanic's coveralls -- truly your 1-stop shop. Capitalism at its finest.
