        SHUTTER SHADES
Eyeglass designer Alain Mikli fashioned the 'shutter shade' for Kanye West. And since we all want to be 'that cool', mass produced plastic shutter shades are popping up everywhere. While wearing them, the user is essentially 50% blind, as they feature solid plastic or metal bars that cross in front of your eyes. So they're not exactly practical, they are not exactly safe to wear while doing many mundane tasks like driving a car, playing catch, or walking down a street... but they are very awesome.

       BOOKMOBILE
We had a library I can remember the waiting in line, the smell, it was like a playhouse, a novelty. I was so excited every time it visited. All the bookmobile needs is a tune (like the ice cream truck)... kids today need more reasons to jump up from the couch and sprint through the neighborhood like a packs of wild banshees.

Shutter shades are an icon of awesome 80's naivete and teenage optimism; they say, "My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades; but I only need UV protection every other centimeter."

YES! Totally true, I don't know about Big Trouble in Little China, but I was just watching a video of Sho Nuff fighting Bruce Leeroy in the Last Dragon... and I saw shuttershades on Sho Nuff. I will strike the Kanye comment from the record!
