The other day a friend commented on the dorky looking glasses women wear while working out, and suggested we write a piece on some of the feminine looking eyewear options available. I got stuck on the dorky part.
“What do you mean by dorky?” I asked.
“You know”, she said. “Those big goofy athletic and masculine looking ones with the weird lenses.”
I gave her a blank look, so she continued with the optical descriptions and observations.
The more she talked, the more it sounded like she was getting dangerously close to describing my favorite BluBlocker infomercial-bought shades from 1990.
“Are you still married to those things?” She asked.
“No, but we are seriously dating, and practically engaged.” I responded.
“You should break up.” She said without missing a beat.
“They block the blue rays!” I answered defensively.
“Well, you know what else they block? They block the man rays. You are much too cute and much too single to be wearing those in public.” She scolded.
“Well sometimes I mix it up with my other ones when I play beach volleyball.” I explained.
“You mean those Cory Hart-tribute shades you go around in?”
“My black Ray Bans?” I asked. “No, I only wear those at night.” I winked. She got the joke.
