80s Microsoft sunglasses break the bank

Some people will go to any lengths to get what they want. But when the WANT in question is a pair of distinctly 80s "Frankie Goes To Hollywoodesque" luminous green glasses with the Microsoft branding plastered all over - and the price tag on it is a jaw dropping $173,000 it's a long way to go and a very expensive want.

Yup, that's what someone in America paid on ebay for these um, cough designer sunglasses.

Or could this be a clever ploy by Microsoft to get some publicity? It would make sense, they're about the only people who wouldn't miss that sort of money, and the publicity they'll get for this pair of retro sunglasses could be priceless.

Whatever it is if it's all the same with them i'll stick with my £114 bargain Paul Smith sunglasses. They don't glow in the dark, they won't break the bank and they don't require me to get a bobble perm.

Lindsay Lohan hides behind shades


We're making today a Lindsay Lohan day - a day you can be bad but hide behind the security of your shades.

When Lindsay Lohan’s behaving she’s a very good girl. But when she’s bad there’s no disguising those little red horns.

Thank goodness her favourite designer shades were at hand this weekend when her dad blew another gasket. It’s no surprise really, instead of being at her granddaddy's funeral, young Ms Lohan was out shopping in Manhattan with her new boyfriend Sam Ronson, without a care in the world.

So if you're feeling in a devilish mood do what you want on Lindsay Lohan Day, and hide behind a pair of blackout glasses too. We suggest the Prada SPR 081 black for a chic girlie look or the Diesel DS 0009 wrap around sunglasses for the lads.
