Different Names For People Who Wear Sunglasses

I hate when I forget my sunglasses and have to drive everywhere with my eyes closed.  That's a tweet of mine because it's true.  I hate when I lose my sunglasses and drive around everywhere with my eyes shut.  Or break them.  The other day, I crammed them in my pocket where they later broke in half.  I don't buy expensive ones.  I usually limit my sunglasses budget to under $2,000 (the first 2 numbers).

My life would be simpler if I just wore my sunglasses "on my person" when out and about, instead of putting them in my purse or pocket. You can imagine my delight when I came across this handy guide below showing a few of the different options for storing your sunglasses on yourself.  I have come to realize that it takes a certain personality to wear each one of these options well, which the guide, you'll see, points out.


THE INNOVATOR


You know how to make your sunglasses work for YOU, like supermodel Naomi Campbell up above.  One minute your sunglasses are protecting your eyes from being obliterated by the sun's menacing rays and the next minute you are looking super fly by keeping your hair neatly pulled back.  You tell headbands to stick it on a daily basis.  You will wear sunglasses on the top of your head WELL after you have been outside even.  Where's the rule book that says you have to take them off after being indoors for 4 hours?  YOU are innovative with your plastic eyewear and people admire you.





THE ILLUSIONIST

Does that person have their clothes on backwards?  Does that guy have his eyes in the back of his head?  Is he super skilled at walking, and even running, backwards??  Does he want to make us think he's got a superpower of some sort?  Hmmm??  After you realize the answer is "no" to most of those questions because you've gotten close enough to see the fancy way The Illusionist is wearing his sunglasses, you wonder why you hadn't thought of that move before.  He just hooks his sunglasses on his ears the exact opposite way he normally does and retrieves them the second he feesl like a Gremlin being exposed to a lightbulb.  Genius.






THE HOOKER


http://www.thisnext.com/

She hooks sunglasses, people!  Hooks sunglasses on the top of her shirt!  What did you think I meant?  Gah.  Actually, as you can probably already tell, this is just a fun shirt that makes it LOOK like the gigantic sunglasses are perched on her collar when, in reality, it's just ink on cotton.  The Hooker wears the sunglasses in a location that is easy to access, especially for moments when you are deep in thought and need to bite the end of one of the arms of your sunglasses.  This is also a perfect look if you are trying to appear like an intellectual model (there is such a thing, right?) or an English detective.





THE BACKWARDS HOOKER


http://www.ask-kalena.com/

I saw The Backwards Hooker at Subway yesterday.  The Backwards Hooker is a man or woman who can't be bothered with sunglasses really at all.  They banish their sunglasses like Cinderella's stepmother banished her to the attic.  They don't want to have to mess with those irritating sun blockers.  They need their hands free for making jazz hands or playing the didgeridoo.  They have thought through all of the options and have discovered this is the best way to have both convenience and freedom.  You'll never find a more efficient and wise person than The Backwards Hooker.



I think I am going to become a hooker. 

How about you?

I'm so boring, I just wear them on my face. When I don't need them, I put them back in their case in my purse.

Carolyn said... [Reply]

You are so funny! I limit my spending on sunglasses to under $20 too. I've sat on too many to go over that! Plus I give them to the kids to play with, and well, that also means they'll be broken in minutes....

I'm a hooker!!

I hook onto my pants belt top.

They stay that way..

I used to be an innovator, but these days wearing sunglasses on my head just isn't working with the super stylish mom bun I've been sporting these days. So I usually throw them in my purse where they are inevitably scratched by a sippy cup or gyro bowl.
What I've learned...dont throw away old pairs. The screw came out of my latest pair and I wanted to fix it but couldnt find any of those tiny microscopic screws anywhere. Thank gawd I had some oldies laying around.

Don't wear sunglasses and don't squint. That's my standard.

Kristen said... [Reply]

I'm a hooker. Except when I have a v-neck shirt on and then, I just stick them in my cleavage -

Melinda said... [Reply]

I'm an innovator...even if it is nighttime. I do use them to keep my hair out of my face. Being a hooker is too dangerous because they fall out and that that requires that I flash someone while picking them up off the floor. Stupid jeans.

What, no gangsta style? Wouldn't that be to just wear them 24/7?

Or how about Chuck Norris style? That's when the sun puts its shades on to shield itself from your brightness.

P.S. Wish I lived in Houston right now (except for the heat). That cooking class looks like a good time.

Can you get arrested for being a Hooker?

Rochelle@AFamilyofLooneys said... [Reply]

I switch out my glasses. When I am wearing my sunglasses I put my regular glasses on the top of my head and vice versa. Maybe I should start doing the hooker style Lol.

Emmy said... [Reply]

Oh yea! I won! Do you need me to email you my addy?

And sorry- no hooker- innovator all the way- I often forget they are up there.

Saimi said... [Reply]

HA! Funny post, but you see, I wear mine all the time. I actually forget I have them on and will be that dork who has them on in a store.

I mentioned you in my post the other day, hope you don't mind! :)

Congratulations to Emmy!!! Way to go girl!!

I'm sure glad you are a 'hooker' while you can be because later for most of us we become 'HANGERS'. Fun post as always!! W.C.C.

Desperate Housemommy said... [Reply]

I'm an innovator. Although I'd think it would be fun to be a backward hooker...and to be able to play the didgeridoo.

Kimberly said... [Reply]

I hate wearing sunglasses. Josh, on the other hand, goes through cheap pairs of shades like it's his job. He's an Innovator, but I caught him pretending to be an Illusionist once and made fun of him.

Kimberly said... [Reply]

I'm an innovator and I tell Naomi that she's
Mah bitch...kidding...I heard that she can seriously cut up a ho for so much as breathing in the wring direction.

Sam said... [Reply]

I wish I was a hooker. But sadly, I am not. I'm a I-forgot-that-I-laid-them-on-the-drivers-seart-and-later-smash-them-with-my-big-ass person.

Hooker - loud and proud!

Alison@Mama Wants This said... [Reply]

I'd like to add another category: the people who wear sunglasses indoors and at night - also known as wankers.

ISRAEL CARRASCO said... [Reply]

I'm paying!

snickerdoodleloves said... [Reply]

I am a proud Innovative Hooker. That's right. Innovative Hooker. As in they get hooked to my ears and hang under my chin. I win extra points, right? Cuz if I do, there's a tiny chicken farming gnomie coming your way. If NOT, you're getting a zombie gnomie... I'm just sayin'.

My Inner Chick said... [Reply]

---I'm a facer. Get it?...On the face. I tried to be a hooker...It didn't work out! :(

Jessica Thompson said... [Reply]

I love putting them behind my head!

Crystal Pistol said... [Reply]

The backwards hooker really made me giggle.

I could never be a backwards hooker.

Shelly said... [Reply]

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm a hooker...

Cindi said... [Reply]

Never thought I'd see so many proud to call themselves a hooker. LoL.

TV's Take said... [Reply]

Love your budget less the last 2 numbers. You've inspired me to write a post about my sunglassess or what I did to save my Marc Jacobs....

Rawknrobyn.blogspot.com said... [Reply]

I'm intrigued by the illusionist and wonder if he's single. Oh, and what he looks like.

I never do the proper thing with sunglasses either. Sunglasses, wristwatches and I don't get along.

I hope you're well, Kelley.

Kristin said... [Reply]

More than anything, I am THRILLED that you used didgeridoo in a sentence.

An I am an Illusionist.

That is all.

you are hilarious :) happy to have found your blog! haha

Jason said... [Reply]

Great pictures within the post! Excellent to look at! Keep up the great work because you're excellent at it!

Lazarus said... [Reply]

KKKKKKKelley, you are so darned creative it's unbelievable, you pick the best and funniest topics for your posts, really. I would be worried if I were your husband however; if you ever have an affair you'll be able to come up with 10 creative alibis and a great pair of sunglasses to go undetected to boot! Loved this post....

Anna said... [Reply]

love it. my son takes my husbands sun-latkes (that's sunglasses if you couldn't tell the toddler speak)but always gives them back when daddy has to drive, screaming "sun, sun, sun-latkes!"

Yvonne said... [Reply]

I'm a hooker too! lol

thoughtsappear said... [Reply]

I break sunglasses all the time! And then it takes me forever to find another pair that I like. Partially because I, too, won't pay more than $20.

I'm an innovator. If the glasses aren't protecting my eyes, they're keeping my hair back.

MommaKiss said... [Reply]

Wait a minute, the photo source for the glasses in back of the head. I'm SO going! I wear mine as a headband sometimes. At work. Cuz I'm cool like that.

Erin said... [Reply]

Your first paragraph is so awesome in this one. So many good nuggets.

I wear aviators that look like they were pulled from a burning fuselage.

Comments make me feel like I'm not talking to the wall. Don't get me wrong. I love talking to walls. Some of my best friends are walls. Still, I like hearing from you, so thanks!
