The closest brand I could find to these is Playboy vintage sunglasses. Pharell made some lookalikes for Louis Vuitton. Neither are the perfect combination of square and cat eye.
I need to have them.

The Housing Crisis: Make a Killing on the Killings
Although the news of the US housing crisis increases on a daily basis, it’s nice to know that given the opportunity some of us can still look at the housing market with the same kind of logic we have always had. Take this property my brother found along Sunset Junction. A 9-bedroom house for $24,000:
As soon as he saw it, he gave me a call:
Marc: “What do you think is wrong with it?”
Kim: “I bet it’s haunted.”
Marc: “I know right? That’s what I thought.”
But it got us thinking – What is the potential market for the undead? Let’s face it, even if housing prices are going down, they still aren’t low enough for any decent person to get a loan for it. With a haunted house, you can discount and disclose your spirits all at the same time.
♥ Save on utilities – Gas prices getting you down? Say good-bye to those gruelling nights cooking over the stove because now you can cook on your countertops with power. Poltergeist Power. And there’s no need to change all your bulbs to those ugly, energy-saving kind just to pinch a few pennies. Lights go on and off, but the meter doesn’t even measure them!
♥ Save on AC – No need to crank up your electric bill during those hot, LA summers. Each room can drop to mind-bogglingly low temperatures.
♥ Great for kids! – Everyday is an adventure when digging in the backyard. You never know what you’re going to find! Shy, introverted kids can easily make friends with a number of passed-on inhabitants and Indian spirit animals.
It’s great for Halloween parties, renters, and even pets (as long as you don’t mind them howling at the moon from time to time). Heck, it could probably make money when programs like Discovery’s “A Haunting” and “Celebrity Paranormal Project” comes around knocking. Outside of obvious inconveniences, this could be the way for us young folk to become first-time home-owners. So say good-bye to your housing crisis blues, and say hello to the blood on the walls of your BRAND NEW HOME!

GARDEN POPS ARE GOING PLACES!
Remember these puppies? Well, with some luck and a lot of help from a grumpy English man I know, a limited run of Garden Pops are going to be sold at the KK Outlet in London this week.
A new round of Garden Pops are also being made with all new shapes and sizes (we’re talking Garden Pops as big as Gary the cat). More information will be available on www.gardenpops.com in the coming weeks.

“You Walked into the Party Like You Were Walking onto a Yacht…”
As Pierre gets a little older and his affection for print tees, jeans, and sneaks falls wayward, we decided that the best thing for a silver fox to do (at this time of his young life) is to slowly enter the pastel and plaid world of casual sports.
♥ SANTINO’S OUTFIT ON PROJECT RUNWAY
Women have very little choice when they reach the age in which they would rather wear something comfortable than slutty. Literally three days after their wedding, some women begin to opt for separates, mom-jeans, leggings, appliqué vests, same-colored everything from head-to-toe, anything that Oprah wears, or the all time favorite combination – the GAP collared shirt and BP cashmere v-neck. Basically anything that strips her of her femininity and clearly says to any man, “I am, was, or will be only good as a baby receptacle, but I refuse to actually have sex”.For men, it’s a totally different ball-game. They may not have many options in the clothing department, but as we have seen with women, having too much choice can be a bad thing as your mind gets older and starts to scramble like eggs. “¡Madras!” (as seen here on the second season of PJR and exclaimed as such by Pierre with the Mexican upside-down exclamation mark) was the first fashion seed to sow in our Yacht Rawk look. ¡Madras! have the ease and the breeze for some one who has yet to start a family a chance to give his “boys” a better lap time while still retaining that young, youthful look. Obtaining ¡Madras!, however, proved to be more difficult than buying a complete set of first edition books for a house on Martha’s Vineyard. Brooks Brothers, J. Crew, and even L.L. Bean have all run out or simply moved on from Madras. As usual, Ralph Lauren is late to the dug-out, designing some hideous looking shorts for this summer/spring season. We were looking for the pants version anyway and were able to find it at the Original Penguin store, on sale no less.
♥ THE “CASUAL SPORT” SHOE
Sailing, tennis, golf. These are shoes that are meant to be worn but somehow not get dirty. It’s a marvel of mankind. I, personally, have become obsessed with Tretorn shoes for both men and women. Rubber sneakers and high fashion boots were made originally for wearing on boats, but could be cleverly used in Amsterdam, a city whose weather generally destroys every shoe you own.Bjorn Borg also makes a nice line of shoes and it quite easy to get here in Europe. Sperry Top-Siders in this canvas stripe is a classic, the shoe that your future son will steal and wear to school (if you are lucky enough to not have a nerd-child).
♥ OTHER FORMS OF INSPIRATION
This is really only the tip of the iceberg. There are a plethera of sports you can steal ideas and color palettes from. Caddyshack is a choice example of a casual sport look. As Pierre gets a little older, we might upgrade his look to a rougher, tougher sport to show that he’s lived life.Maybe something in a Rocky…
