Thinking Outside The Box: #1

Hey everybody. In this world of terrible music, I feel it would be a tragedy if we did not throw some other garbage into the box. With that said, I would like to introduce you to a new segment here in Abu Dhabi land. I present to you...

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX~!

Our first entry.

This iconic image; Shutter sunglasses. Of course when I see this image, only one image comes to my mind.

Ok so maybe it was just an excuse to post the picture, but seriously. SHUTTER SUNGLASSES. What kinda shit for brains came up with the idea for glasses that are not clear. In fact they are so beyond not clear, that there are horizontal bars in front of them. Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure this is just fashion, and actually to my knowledge, this may even be dated fashion now. But at the time of this stupid fad, there was no Box To Abu Dhabi blogsite that I could post on, so I didn't get a chance to rant. But now's a better time than ever I guess. These things are really fucking stupid.

Taken directly from the wikipedia, in fact this is the whole article.

"Shutter Shades

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shutter Shades are a design of slatted sunglasses commercially available since the 1980s.

Instead of having lenses, the design is characterized by its "shutter" motif, which is part of the frame. The shades are marketed as suitable for both men and women.[1] are available in an assortment of styles and colors. Depending on the design, Shutter Shades may not function as sunglasses; although some models contain UV resistant lenses, many do not, and only feature a series of horizontal plastic "shades," which neither provide protection for the eye from UV light nor prevent a substantial amount of light from entering the eye.

History

First available in the 1980s, nicknamed "Venetian Blinders," a then-popular design of louvered eyewear were featured in the music videos for "Glittering Prize" by Simple Minds in 1982 and"Obsession" by Animotion in 1984. Alain Mikli made a contemporary custom design for Kanye West[2], again influenced by the fashion of the 1980s. West popularized the glasses in the music videofor "Stronger."[3] In 2007, Shutter Shades Inc emerged, patented the current sleeker plastic design[4] and coined and trademarked the term "Shutter Shades".[5] Over the remainder of the year and the next, several celebrities publicly embraced the style of the shades, quickly establishing this new design of eyewear as a pop culture staple.[6] During the 2010 FIFA World Cup many fans were seen wearing shutter shades with the design of their respective flag pictured on the glasses."
