Fly girl

I did a photoshoot in the 90s with a ton of Black Flys sunglasses. I kept these for myself. No woman I’ve met would wear them, and I loved them as mountain biking shades because the color made it easier to see the terrain. My brother told me they were too gay, but I wore them anyway. I think I saw Parry Farrell wear a pair just like them once on MTV.

I recently rediscovered them going through basement boxes. Leta loves them. Maybe she’ll be the first female to actually put them on and like wearing them. Or maybe she’ll wear them at a 90s party making fun of grunge and the neo-70s/electronic space age fashions.

    I’m looking for the comments that got heather dooced: Does any one know where to get them?

    She’s adorable. She’s a little movie star in those. (shh, dont tell her I said that, it’ll go to her widdle brain)

    Okay, that is, hands down, the most adorable picture of Leta I’ve seen thus far. Seriously, the expression on your lovely daughter’s face is absolutely priceless. She’s the only girl that I can honestly say looks good with giant glasses.

    I’m going to go right Mary Kate Olsen an email now telling her why big glasses are only for cute wee ones like Leta… and not billionaire child actresses with giant heads and tiny bodies.

    Big Gay Sam, Never!!

    Which was kind of my point in wearing them mountain biking. Not enough fruit on the hills… At least out and proud fruit…

    Well.. you have two choices in Utah.. be out and proud (and a great bullseye for target practice) or you can be in and alive.

    As you can tell, I chose in and alive.

    shhhh… don’t tell anyone. :o p

    You gotta love those little monkeys. There’d be no way for that to get any more precious than it is.

    As someone studying English at university, I really have to correct myself…
