A lot of people ask me ‘Carles… which trends are gonna be around 4ever?’ That’s an incredibly relevant question to most of our existences. We must spend money in order to buy things that represent us, but finding something that will accurately represent our personal brands for more than 1 year is extremely difficult in ‘The Internet Age.’
Child Predator Glasses are one of the most era-transcendent accessories that you can purchase. They have been around for a long time, and they will probably be around for the next 20 years, until doctors start to prescribe Medical Shutter Shades. After the recent ‘EconoCrisis’, we’re all just looking to spend money on things that will last longer, instead of wasting them on Macbooks, consumables, and arts&crafts. Investing in glasses is investing in your health + adding 10 or more years to your alternative social life.

Going to Hot Chip shows, DJing friends’ parties, and dressing up like Justice for Halloween makes you the farthest thing from being authentic. It makes you a poseur try-hard wannabe-hipster DJ.

Lil Chippie was actually 6′5″ before he bought the childpred glasses. The weight of the lenses caused his spine to compress. Shortness is way more authentic than height neways.

The security guard in my building wears child predator glasses. He is old and has creepy, buldging eyes, but I was very intoxicated and couldn’t stop complimenting him on his choice of glasses. I blame you, Carles.

I find it funny how ya’ll think it’s funny to say ya’ll.
It’s not alt to me, living in Texas and Oklahoma, it’s just a matter of saying things quicker.
“you all”
or “you guise”
just sounds lame. Jus sayin’.
