From "Why Was Macron Wearing Sunglasses at Davos? An eye condition, not a style choice, prompted President Emmanuel Macron of France to don aviators to address the World Economic Forum" (NYT).I've written about aviator sunglasses before. Let me find that. Here, from March 2017, "And gold aviator eyeglasses are one of the sexiest shapes you could possibly wear." I wrote:
For the annals of sexiest shapes imaginable. Aviator glasses are back in style, we're told in the NYT.
I'm not buying that these glasses are obviously sexy. There's also...
"One of my style icons is Gloria Steinem, and she’s worn that look forever."...
Aviator glasses were adopted by stylish people in the 60s. I'll never forget seeing Mort Sahl — the political satirist — on "The Tonight Show" holding up a picture of Gloria Steinem and railing against her, harping specifically on her glasses. As I remember it, he took the position that it was ludicrous to wear aviator glasses unless you were an aviator.

Dressing fancy to tell Putin it was bad to invade Ukraine. That’s exactly why Trump wants to take responsibility for Greenland from these clowns.
Time to bring the WEF into the WWE.
Maybe his wife gave him a shiner?
Sunglasses can also be a shield to hide behind.
Wearing them whilst bowing down to China. How fitting.
A blood vessel popped in his eye when he realized that he had been bamboozled by Joe Biden into committing to an un-winnable war, and Joe Biden is probably pinching some nurse's behind right now, completely unaware of any of it, and the next guy has done the math.
"Maybe his wife gave him a shiner?"
...with his wusband's dainty little fists of fury.
"Wearing them whilst bowing down to China. How fitting."
It's funny about these narratives. What is Europe supposed to do? It's a giant game of cutthroat and if you get too dependent on one player, well, your throat gets cut. But there are valid reasons why people accept these narratives as true, which have nothing to do with the truth value of the narrative embraced, it could be that it is more important to be unified than right.
"Time to bring the WEF into the WWE."
Macron would make a handsome wrestlerette. His husband could pair up with Drew Macintyre to tag-team him.
Haven't thought about Mort Sahl in a while.
When I see Macron in sunglasses I immediately think of Top Gun. He’s lucky the frogs make my favorite wines or I’d suggest nuking them, too.
Macron got a job hustlin'
In WEF bars bussin'
Two hundred thou a year
Screwin' WEF queers
Things aren't goin' great...
...and they're only gettin' gayer
He's not doin' alright
Wearin' those shades
His future's not bright
Cause he's likely got AIDs
lol, RSM!!
Trying to look like his hero -- Slow Joe Biden.
If you wear sunglasses inside or at night you are probably a giant douche.
And remember that only the US Navy has "aviators". The rest are just pilots.
Pilotage on sea and air is finding your way by fixed landmarks.
Navigation and aviation is finding your way without fixed landmarks.

He wears his sunglasses in fright…
Did the old lady punch him out again?
Probably
I think the Biden II theory makes the most sense.

Almost all flying is done without reference to fixed landmarks.
The WEF crowd is going into full meltdown.
Newsome and Macro were made for each other.
Newsome knows that Minnesota is a warm up for California.
Covering up another shiner from his wife, who is the man in the relationship
i want to know WHY, all the lefty women are wearing the big ugly black glasses now?
i'm Assuming, that they think that it makes them look smart?
Or, are they intentionally TRYING to look ugly?
ps. In the Olden days, the Military issue glasses looked like these. In those they were called BCG's (birth control glasses)
Kingsman showed us how to deal with wef drones
Did anyone say what Macron’s eye condition is? If not, the. I’m with the folks upthread who think his wife gave him a shiner.
Hey Skipper said, "Almost all flying is done without reference to fixed landmarks."
Including a great deal on autopilot.
This post is relevant to my interest. I've been sporting aviators for decades (profile included), and it takes a uniquely handsome man like myself to pull it off and be taken seriously.
Emmanuel can't cut the poupon.

Canada and the US should have joint ownership.
I have decided.
It's so close! It's in our backyard.
AMDG - or if could just be you.
Greenland cracked off from north America.
It's ours bitches.
Funny how the NYT uses the aviator sunglasses to compare Macron to a movie star, Tom Cruise, instead of comparing him to another weak-minded, loser politician that uses them because he thinks they're cool, like - what was his name, again?
I forgot about the turtleneck. Profiles in courage.
Aggie asked...
.."another weak-minded, loser politician that uses them because he thinks they're cool, like - what was his name, again?"..
i can't remember his name, but wasn't he the guy; that kept an old sports car (that he NEVER drove) in his garage next to the piles of classified documents that he'd stolen?
NOTHING says "cool old guy", like having a 60 year old car in your garage
a cool old guy, wearing Depends..
a cool old guy, looking at his Corvette and thinking: "back when"
Beasts of England said..."When I see Macron in sunglasses I immediately think of Top Gun. He’s lucky the frogs make my favorite wines or I’d suggest nuking them, too."
Sorry, the correct term is Cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
It didn't work for Biden. Maybe Wayfarers could have worked for Macron. Aviator frames scream "1970s!" Everyone who thought mirrored sunglasses were cool back then cringes at the thought of them now.
The other theory, though, is that his wife gave him another black eye.
I've thought about getting some, but they strike me as sunglasses for old farts still trying to look cool.
Hey skipper
By GPS
That is cheating.
John Henry
Grandpa’s style was woolrich and ll bean but he was the coolest sumnabitch because he always wore his blackout skull Ray Ban aviators from his army says. He looked like MacArthur without the pipe…
Yah they may make him look tough but at the first sign of aggression he won’t be able to drop them on the ground fast enough…
Idiot is selling out to China. Shut down all our bases in Europe, except for Poland
On the other hand, large dark glasses are the preferred accessory for individuals known to be hit in the face by their spouse.
Was Mort Sahl wearing a suit? And yet he was not a horse soldier for which that uniform was designed. Why do you think it is split in the back .... to permit ease when astride a horse.
I was just thinking about sunglasses yesterday. I've never been a sunglasses person but now that the doctors tell me I have to severely limit sun exposure for the rest of my life I was wondering what sunglasses are best for UV protection.
fun fact: I saw a YouTube video a few days ago ("The Strange Eye Disease that Ravaged Old Hollywood") that speculated that the reason why the early Hollywood stars used to wear sunglasses was to rest their eyes. Apparently, the bright, high UV, carbon arc floodlights actually caused damage to their eyes. (Most was temporary, but some was permanent.)
Macron is a poseur, accompanied by a poseurette.
"He wears his sunglasses in fright…"
I wear my sunglasses in fright
So I can, so I can
Watch you preen then breathe your funny lines
And I wear my sunglasses in fright
So I can, so I can
Keep track of Emmie's thing between her thighs
Is he deceiving me?
He's got the authority
He'll get control of Green-

Don't ditch the trade with the guy in shades oh no
Don't try to play the guy in shades oh no
I can't believe it
'Cause you can't betray the guy in shades oh no
