Stuff Lesbians Like Part 107: Aviator Shades

By Grace O'Neill

Lesbians like aviator shades. Let me repeat this… WE LIKE AVIATORS.

Sure, there’s an endless array of styles to choose from when it comes to sunglasses.

Oakleys: Stylish, sporty, and tote a hefty price tag, these shades scream “yes, I’m a Red Cross certified life guard and I would be more than happy to practice my CPR on you!”

Ray Ban Wayfarers: Like over-sized flannel shirts and day glo colors, Wayfarers are back in style. They’re cute, relatively cheap, and no one can deny the fact that wearing these shades will give you the urge to throw on a large button down and slide across hard wood floors in your socks.

The Kanye Wests: Yeah. If you actually opt to wear these out in a public setting then 9 times out of 10 you can kiss any and all traces of your social life good-bye.

But Aviators? These shades posses a magical quality that I fondly like to refer to as the “hot factor.”

Like guitars, jeeps, and wife beaters, Aviator shades have the undeniable ability to amp up anyone’s sex appeal by a few notches simply by putting them on.

Case in point:

(Yes, I know. I’ve used this pic before but you can’t blame me… it’s a good pic)

Maybe their allure is due to the authoritative impression the mirror lens give off. Or how the mere sight of them makes one want to start calling people Maverick or Iceman. But one thing’s for sure… Girls in aviators are simply irresistible.

  6. Grace the Spot | Stuff Lesbians Like Part 115: Stating something is “So Lesbian” as if they are above it while loving something equally lesbian. Says:

    [...] to enlighten their poor, uneducated gay posse all while sporting a plaid shirt, converse shoes and aviator glasses. As someone who is so quick to criticize certain clothing as “SO lesbian” as if it is a bad [...]
