And here all along I thought it was to protect
your eyes from all those bright lights in those
smoky night clubs...
I don’t know about all of that, but it’s nice to always have something in front of your eyes, just saying.
I can’t see it.
Yyyyeahhhhh. I think DWS would need a pair of sunglasses the size of her whole face.
I’ve always thought attractive people are LESS attractive with sunglasses, as you can’t see the eyes that help make them attractive. But what do I know.
I started wearing them because my future was so bright...then Obama got elected.
Hard to take anyone seriously who made wearing sunglasses the subject of her PhD.
I read once that one reason movie stars wear sunglasses so much is that if they meet a fan they don’t have to worry about not seeming so interested in that person. It seemed weird, but it made sense in a way.
You know how nutty people are, they think Frank Sinatra should be a thrilled to meet them as they are to meet him.
It’s probably very nice, in a way, to be famous. But it does leave you vulnerable to crazy people.
(Oops, pulled the "post" trigger too quickly on Rex. This never happens to me, honest!)
The glasses hide ugly.
Believe it or not, there is an expert on the topic (it was the subject of her PhD), and UK professor Vanessa Brown explains the situation to Science of Us.
That’s a better job than the scientist who studies Neanderthal poop.
For actors, sunglasses evolved into a way to hide from fans, but that’s not why they started wearing them.
The earliest movie set lighting was electric rather than incandescent, and it was incredibly hard on film actors’ eyes, rendering them red and sore. The glasses both hid the redness and helped with the resulting photosensitivity to the California sun.
Don’t agree. Beautiful eyes can do a lot to overcome an otherwise unattractive face. If one covers them up ...
