The description says ‘coffin dweller,’ but I think they look more ‘parents’ basement dweller.’
Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.
While I do wear sunglasses year ’round, the approach of summer always inspires me to step up my shades game. And since we’ll be spending more time in Fire Island this year, shopping for summer-related supplies lets me prolong the happy anticipation. Let the hilarity begin…

Ridiculous? Sure, but I know someone who would love them. (That’s right, ASEP, I’m talking to you!)

Though these could have been designed by my 4-year-old niece, they would no doubt be right at home at the science march.
Oh, yes. Very Etsy!

These are to sunglasses what this is to bathing suits.
I assume these come with a guidedog and a cane, because you’re definitely not seeing out of them.

A fair question. I’m probably going to buy something from Spunglasses (the first good ones), but I’m still trying to choose!

I am not sure I agree with the bathing suit analogy. There is way more material in those sunglasses.

There’s a formula I go by when dressing for an event. You either show legs or cleavage, never both. By that way of thinking, the only thing that could balance out that bathing suit is a pillowcase over your head.

Maybe if it was paired with thigh-high boots.
Cleavage or legs…..not both. I watch a lot of movies and I think there are quite a few people who do not subscribe (ascribe?) to your point of view.
I, however, (hopefully) understand the difference between sexual and sensual and can appreciate your point of view.

It’s a red carpet rule a stylist I used to know taught me. It’s nearly impossible to look classy and legit if all your goodies are on display at once. Loved your comments about the thigh-high boots…

I’ll take a pair of Groovy with a side of Iris Apfel please. I’m still thinking about the small square sunglasses and bathing suit for my two year old godgranddaughter. Thanx for a whimsical tour Donna.

Oh my word. Who would have thought there could be such diversity of fugly in the sunglasses category. I’m taken aback by the crafting so amateurish that the three year olds in my class could handle it as an independent craft project. Wait! Are parents sweatshopping their kids to sell their crafts on Etsy?

Thank you! I took that picture on one of our kayak trips around Jamaica Bay in New York. It was one of the casualties of Hurricane Sandy. I’m sure the owner was sad it was gone, but I certainly was happy to find and photograph it!
