Who’s that behind those Foster Grants? WARNING!! WARNING!! INANE ALERT LOL Remember in the 1960's an iconic ad campaign that asked that famous question? The answer ranged from Vanessa Redgrave to Raquel Welch to Louis Jourdan. In other words the hottest celebs of the day. These days sunglasses are the aspirational status symbol that the New York Times claims has knocked Designer Handbags off their perch. There is a little difference. In the Sixties Foster Grants were available at drugstores and didn't cost the equivalent of a car payment. Or a fill up. Being Hot (although it has had different names) is a longtime goal. But the price of that heat is going up.* Hmm...since I love sunglasses but am not willing to pay mucho dinero for 'em, I went on a quest. Okay...well, actually, yesterday I dropped my dad off at the dentist and had to do something to kill time. I went to one of my most fav-o-(price-is)-rite stores -- Dollar Tree!!  The sunglasses choice was overwhelming. All different shapes, sizes and colors. Since it was St. Paddy's Day, I bought a green pair. Then of course, I had to have a pink and then a burgundy pair. For $3.18 I now can look like a movie star in different colors. lol  After my big spending splurge, I took dad home, changed into different clothing, donned my green jacket that matched my sunglasses, jumped in Ben's SUV and we went to dinner. I had two lemon drop martinis, baked whitefish, one piece of bread, one cup of coffee and hazelnut cheese cake (not telling how much cheese cake since Ben didn't eat all of his and he pushed some of his onto my plate...which meant I was obligated to eat it because I was always taught to eat everything on my plate)!   *From Ken Hoyt Interior Advocate  The positive is there. Sometimes it's just hard to find. |
