What’s up with the bug eyes??
April 29, 2009 – 9:37 pmI’ve been meaning to write about the “bug eyes” phenomenon for some time now. I saw a particular ridiculous pair on a girl just a couple hours ago, so I finally decided to sit down and write about it.
You’re probably thinking I’m crazy, that I’ve finally gone off the (really) deep end. I promise you I’m still very much with it, really I am! “Bug eyes” simply refers to a girl wearing unfathomably large sunglasses. And by large, I mean LAAAAAAAAAAARGE. Like 2-3 times as big as they should/need to be.
If anyone has an answer for me as to why girls do this or if they actually think it makes them look good, I can’t wait to hear your explanation. For the record, I don’t see how looking like a bug can possible make you look good…
In the meantime I’ll be laughing tomorrow at my next “bug eyes” sighting (which, by the way, there are plenty of out here in SF)!

When regular makeup just isn’t enough, the strategy is to cover as much of the face as possible. A less extreme version of the double bag special.

Very funny, ap! I actually just read an article that women should buy bigger sun glasses to avoid getting sun damage around their eyes… just another reason to keep mine!
