Subject: 80's Sunglasses??

Written By: Shailyn on 01/04/04 at 05:24 p.m.

Anyone know the name of the sunglasses people used to wear in the 80's that look like Jordi's Visor (from Star Trek)?
or where I can find a pair?

Thanks
Shailyn

Aside from "Ray Bans", I have no immediate memory of other hit brands; though Jordi's were actually inspired by a ladies hair accessory called a "banana clip" according to a "Next Generation" documentary.

Are you talking about the ones like in the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun video by Cyndi Lauper?

There's a shot in Sixteen Candles in which you see a kid wearing the "Jordi" style sunglasses, just a single, narrow, tinted strip set in a plastic frame.  Remember the Animotion "Obsession" video?  I liked the girl's metal grate style shades. 8)

As I was reading this post, that song was on my internet radio. Weird!  :)
