Dig These New Christian Dior Sunglasses

These have probably the coolest design of any sunglasses I've seen. I just love that shape.
The only thing I'm less than thrilled about these shades is the name.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Christian Dior . . . Blow . . . sunglasses.

With one exception, I can't think of any good things associated with the word "blow." When you fail, you "blow it." If something hurts you, it's called a "blow." ("Her rejection was a real 'blow' to his ego.") If you're acting like a nut, some might attribute your erratic behavior to a "blow to the head." If something sucks, ironically, it can also be said that it "blows." As in "Kanye West's new album blows. I hate it."

Just look at those beautiful, if unfortunately named sunglasses.

You're right. Those are beautiful sunglasses. Too bad about the name, though. Maybe the Marketing Department of Christian Dior, Sunglasses Division will come across this thread and take notice.

Woah. Awesome shades. I like the black ones.

I also like your various definitions for the word "blow."

Yes the black lenses are very cool looking. I just hope no one sees you wearing a pair of these sunglasses and asks what they're called . . .

I'll just say "They're Christian Dior." They should be suitably impressed by that alone.

That should do it, Building63. Once you invoke the name of Christian Dior, that should silence any further questioning, except maybe "where did you get them?"

This is what I'm saying.
