It is important to understand the pretext to the following observations. I spent the last two years in a place nearly devoid of popular culture to include television, movies and music. Part of my re-integration into ‘normal’ society has to do with coming to terms with the changes in society. When change happens around us gradually we tend to not notice it. But a sudden reintroduction into the general public highlights many of the more dramatic changes. The following is just one of my quick observations.

I recently returned home from a much needed vacation and noticed a rather disturbing trend. I’m not really sure when it happened. But apparently big, gaudy, bug-eyed style sunglasses are back in vogue. My response is WTF! For some reason, women feel the need to resemble The Fly and guys are nostalgic for Top Gun and CHiPs. I understand the trends change and fashion is often very transitional. But come on. What’s next? Bell bottoms and platform shoes? The madness needs to stop. Put down the glasses and get to therapy. The 80s are over. Let’s never, ever, bring them back.
