Francois Pinton Sunnies K Is…
21.Apr.2009 |
Wanting.Francois Pinton made sunnies for the classic glamours:Cary Grant, Aristotle O, and these frames are based on the originals Francois designed for Grace Kelly. I tried these on — you get a flattering frame that hides half your face… |
 |
Wearing.I wear these Jacky2 frames — based on the sunnies Francois designed for Jackie O — daily. I’ve also got a pair of prescription Aristotles. I put both Francois Pinton frames on the shelf and let them argue… |
 |
Hating.There’s design that feels retro because it’s an echo of a classic, and then there’s caricatures of fashion thankfully passed. Leave these rhinestoned sunnies to the deranged Dita doubles… |
Sunnies K Is…
28.Jul.2008
Wanting.I love Porsche. I had a tour of their store in Two Rodeo, and discovered Porsche actually designs everything with its name stamped on it. Like all their ish, there’s a real elegance in the economy of these sunnies’ design… |
Hating.You get what you pay for, but what’s costing you more than rent for these sunnies is less gold plate and ebony wood, and more marketing. Though Tom Ford is beautiful, and I do feel honored to contribute to his Botox fund… |
Wearing.Built by the man who created Jackie O’s original glammy glasses. I found these at Hotel de Ville, which also carries Aristotle Onassis’s frames. I’m buying those next, and the two glasses can sit on my dresser and fight over money… |

Porsche Sunglasses, Carrera Style
28.Sep.2007
Most people’s “when I make it” includes a car they’ll accessorize with leather interiors that clean nice after pricey blow jobs, but I’d rather own Porsche sunglasses–Carrera-style–and a driver, than a Carrera.
Till Alfred’s chauffeuring me to strip clubs, I’ll be in fifth gear in five-inch heels and these Porsche sunglasses, sipping a hellish hot soy latte, double-checking appointments on a smart phone smarter than I, I–
Figure I can blame an accident on being a ¼ Asian Cracker Jap.

Initium Eyewear, Metro.Pop
01.Mar.2004
metrounisexual™ (met’ro’yoo’ni-sek’shoo-el): n., adj. 1. a phrase coined and trademarked in hopes that it would be picked up by fashion bibles so that its royalties may pay for someone’s iced soy latte and traffic ticket habits. 2. an excuse to write out a faux dictionary definition as an opening hook in attempt to snare readers. 3. something or someone that is fashionably image-conscious in a gender-ambiguous way, ie. “Initium Eyewear’s line of sun glasses, with classic, fashion-iconic shapes, are the perfect selection for a Los Angeleno metrounisexual™ on a sunny SoCal day.”
There are the highway patrolman “Cocktails” lenses sported by Avril Lavigne, then there are the Jackie O, “LAX” femme frames donned by skateboard demigod Tony Alva, then there are the feelings that Initium Eyewear’s debut and spring collection toys with gender-bending and sex-negligent aesthetics.
