Shades

There is an art to wearing shades if you are a celebrity. And this year stars have been favouring sunglasses that are conspicuously huge (wonder if this is in anyway connected to the fashion for huge designer purses??). In fact the size of the frame appears to be in direct proportion of the magnitude of the celebrity.
 
But it’s not just the size of the frame that counts, the designer tag is obviously crucial too. It is important that the shades have been designed by someone who is famous and hugely expensive. The sunglasses must clearly display this fact.
 
Perhaps the biggest telltale sign that you are, in fact, in the presence of a shade-wearing megastar is the location. Most mere mortals wear sunglasses when the sun is shining. Some fashion victims wear them to the mall just to show off their latest designer frames. But a true celebrity will wear them as a disguise – and that means wearing sunglasses when no sane person would consider it. So you will see celebs wearing their shades;

• inside an airport terminal
• at night
• at the supermarket (just in case you mistake them for an ordinary shopper)
• leaving a nightclub
• at their kids school recitals (you think I’m kidding?!)
• inside hospital buildings
• at all times following cosmetic surgery
• over breakfast
