RANDOM COOL: 3-D Glasses

Edited by Monique Montagnese, Contributor

I love 3-D movies, and when i saw My Bloody Valentine in 3-D  (should I admit that?

The History of Ray-Bans

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Great article in Dazed Digital on the history of Ray-Bans.

Ray-Ban began manufacturing sunglasses with ergonomics rather than fashion in mind. Ray-Ban soon became the Army Air Force’s sole supplier of sunglasses, and remained within the domain of aviation until 1936, when the company produced their first model to go on sale to the public a classic Aviator shape with a plastic frame.
