With regards to Bond's persol sunglasses that he wears in Casino Royal. I know he wears the tortoise shell in green lenses, but I was wondering if those were a little too homosexual or not. I would be fine with the black, but the meflecto bars look more noticeable, and the black glasses don't look as posh as the tortoise shell one's do.

Wearing these persol sunglasses is just disgusting. Putting it up a guy's rear isn't.

By the way, thanks for the heads up, I think I'm going to purchase these Persols.

Wait, teddieriley what's wrong with Persol? And, off the record(Tarmac) , if you are ********** with men, that is described as homosexual, unless you do it with women in addition to men, that just makes someone bisexual. And to micbain no matter who you are, everyone is always judging you. It takes 20 impressions to change a first impression, so if they look homosexual, most would think that you are, granted the glasses aren't that noticeable in the tortuise shell, but I don't take any chances, I am very conservative like that.

Dear Top Chef,

I can understand your fear of homosexuality. In today's world it is no longer accepted as it was in the good old Greek days when every swinging Tom, Dick or Harry had a little boy on the side. Nonetheless, you should know that homosexuality is both fine, and it is a state of mind. I wouldn't worry about a pair of sunglasses marking you as such, and even if you decide to experiment a little, I promise to think no less of you for it. Men are sexual beings, and our needs have to be met, after all.

I remain,

Mac

Yes, Bond goes for the Oliver Peoples Airman. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but it is on jamesbondlifestyle.com. Mac, in regaurds to my "fear of homosexuality", I assure you that their is no fear, and I am happy with people being happy, as long as it isn't in my general vacinity(10-20 feet), and that is toward any public display of emotion. With the sunglasses, I want people to percieve me as how I percieve myself, and frankly, I don't think anything is wrong with that. I don't starch my shirts just for the fun of it.

Nothing. I was kidding. Didn't I say I was going to pick up a pair? I just need to get to sunglass hut first to try them on to make sure they work with my weird face. But the lakers game is tonight and I still need to hit the gym, so I might have to postpone the trip to the mall.

Would you tell Bond to his face that he is wearing pair of homosexual sunglasses?

For the record...I have a pair and I'm not homosexual ...

I'm so confused how tortise-shell sun-glasses can somehow make you look "gay". If you wore some perez-hilton type sunglasses, then maybe. But those look standard and good.

I love the fact that we're sitting here posting on a men's fashion forum (extremely homosexual by the standards of the average male) discussing what looks gay

There is nothing at all gay with taking care in your appearance. I think you'll find this to be the majority opinion around here...

if you don't like the brown/green, do what I did and get the brown/brown.
