Mar 3 2009Lookin' Good: Disposable Tape Sunglasses

Let's face it: we all sit on our expensive sunglasses. Perhaps not everyone for sexual gratification, but whatever, they still break. Enter disposable tape sunglasses by designers Azumi & David. They come on a roll like packing tape and are perforated for easy detachment. You just rip off a pair, slap them on your face, and PRESTO, everybody feels bad for you because it looks like you have a problem. I'm gonna get a roll and cut them in half to make eye-patches. How wicked would that be? If you answered 'Wicky to the power of Gnar-Gnar', you're close.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the shades.


Disposable Sunglasses [trendhunter]
Thanks to Warren, who doesn't wear sunglasses because they affect his x-ray vision.

That picture of the chick in the bottom left looks like she is checking out the dude in the bottom right's package.

This is just another sign of recession. Next up; disposable dignity.

...which reminds me of a sun-dial wristwatch. How's that sound, eh!

i can color my own packing tape with a sharpie and make those for free....
15. mike - March 3, 2009 10:11 AM
that dude wearing them looks like he's thinking about how his life could've ended up at the point where he's modeling tape sunglasses and trying to look cool. poor bastard.
i also want to know how good it feels for that chick to take these off when she taped them to her hair. then again, maybe she has eyeballs on the top of her skull.
16. french - March 3, 2009 10:20 AM
It comes with different styles too. Who coulda thought of that?
They have the ozzy type, aviator, police type, big-ass women's D&G shades.

I think online dating is really nice. I meet many nice people at the millionaire & celebrity dating club ____Millionaire Loving. C O M____. You can find your soul mate at this site. You have many chances to date with a millionaire there.

28. Pew³ - March 3, 2009 12:44 PM
OLD.
I've been wearing these things for a long time.
Except mine are not disposable. They don't come on a roll. They are quite expensive.
But they are sunglasses!

Next on our list on how to look like an Idiot: Cardboard, the new everyday shirt?
31. leujin - March 3, 2009 1:29 PM
She looks really thrilled to be wearing those in the first pic. To me, that face says "I don't have a job and will do anything for money."
32. Milkman - March 3, 2009 1:31 PM
Is this an ad for Target undershirts or something? They're rocking the $5.99 for a 6 pack wifebeaters. Sweet sense of fashion style. We're all sure to rush out and buy some now.
33. shirtless in seattle - March 3, 2009 2:35 PM
$5.99 for 6 wife beaters at target, eh? well, I sure am rushing out to buy some.
also, these glasses are a godsend for me, as I lack any discernible facial features and needed something to make me blend in a little and stop making children cry every time I leave the house. also, i'm hairless. they called me dildohead all throughout highschool. i'm not bitter though.
34. supernova_hq - March 3, 2009 2:49 PM
These actually look like they would be useful for back-country first-aid. You would be surprised how often to come across people camping in the snow or even just the forest and get eye-strain or snow blindness. These would fit very nicely inside a small first-aid kit for suck emergencies.

That comment reminds me of one time when I was with a friend and we wanted to go to Ikea but I was barefoot (summer), and they're no shirts no shoes no service, so my friend just drew sandals on my feet with a sharpie, and it was all good until we got kicked out of the store anyways for racing each other down the aisles on the dollies.
36. Tennist0 - March 3, 2009 4:22 PM
*drawing glasses on duct tape* how do i look? not bad eh? haha, now off the the mall to pick up chicks...OUCH!! i i hit something, damn glasses *throws them out* now what to do? *draws glasses on shamwow* rad to the power of sick!
37. Tennist0 - March 3, 2009 4:24 PM
@35... epic story! im gonna try that next time im at ikea! does it work if you draw on pants also?
38. Kaxxacker - March 3, 2009 6:08 PM
@37
No. You gotta make sure you draw balls under your 4 inch "feefer". Do you have one? Yeah, one is probably enough.
39. Daisy - March 3, 2009 8:48 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photosop job. You cn tell its a fake becahse the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and BAja have to make a project for junior achievement, and come up with a fake sunglasses product for them to market. Their target market is eye doctors who can pass these out to patients who get there eyes dialated.
40. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - March 4, 2009 12:23 AM
I literally want to punch those models right in the face for this. This angers me more than tele-marketers...."oh, uh, it's only their job"...get a real fcuking job!

44. D4isy - March 4, 2009 9:35 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photosop job. You can tell its a fake becahse the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene in Always Go Up when Johnny and Sam switch glasses when they were trying to make a production of The Matrix. Then they both realized that they weren't being very globally friendly, so they just tossed on some grass made shades.

moO!?
46. Babel - March 5, 2009 12:38 AM
@44
speaking of globally friendly, why teh fook are we making something disposable that was previously reusable? bass-ackwards to the power of sick!
47. Johnny - March 5, 2009 10:24 AM
I hope i never hear, "Hand me a roll of sunglasses, Bob. The sun is killing me today."
sticky things should be limited to the pasties girls use on their tata's.
