This has to be the most annoying fashion trend sweeping the world (or at least the world I inhabit) lately. Millions of attention seekers who may or may not actually need glasses are sporting these huge frames. Why do they feel the need to wear these? Is it the aforementioned attention they're after? Do they want us to think that they're well-read or have good taste in music? Whenever I see someone like this, I just automatically think that they're really dumb and listen to Lady Gaga a lot. It seems logical when you consider the fact that both the framers and Gaga demand you to look at them and admire them on a superficial level.
I realize that some of these folks actually have vision problems. They should get a smaller pair of glasses. For those of you who don't need glasses, however, you're offending me by exaggerating my handicap and making it seem glamorous. Imagine the possibilities here:
"Hey, deafness is pretty cool. Let's wear huge hearing aids!"
"Hey, being a cripple is pretty cool! Let's get a really glam wheelchair!"
"Hey, being dead is pretty cool. Let's be dead!"
Okay, maybe that's taking it too far. But seriously people, be yourselves and not other people's unfortunate circumstances.
