What do you look for when you're in the market for new sunglasses? Do you look for new technology like polarized sunglasses? Do you look for something that makes the world look darker? Or maybe you're looking for something that will protect your eyes from future cataracts? Or, maybe, you're just looking for something that makes you look cool. All your favorite celebrities are doing it, so why wouldn't you?
This is the second golden age of sunglasses. The first was in the 70's when the TV show "Chips" made shiny sunglasses look cool and every female celebrity was wearing almost comically sized glasses. Now-a-days
Wholesale Carrera, celebrities make sunglasses part of their everyday ensemble- may they be indoors or out, in rainy or sunny weather. That's right, sunglasses aren't just for, umm, sunlight anymore.
There is a reason why people pay celebrities to wear their gear: people will track down and purchase these products. There are websites which are dedicated solely to who is wearing what and where you can buy it. Sunglasses are no different: if you want to know what glasses Paris Hilton wore last Thursday at Kai

If you pay attention to the music scene at all you'll know that there are two individuals who have made sunglasses so much of a part of their ensemble that it would be hard to imagine them with them: rapper Jay-Z and U2 lead singer Bono. Arguably, Jay-Z could be the most fashionable rapper of all time. One of the rare rappers to be able to keep his street cred while becoming a multi-million dollar entrepreneur, Jay-Z has been wearing dark shaded, black sunglasses for years. Whether it be on stage, in the crowd at awards shows or at a product launch, Jay-Z has been able to look cool and classy for years when wearing his black glasses.
It can be safe to say that many U2 fans have never seen frontman Bono without sunglasses. I can nary think of a picture where Bono was sun-glassesless. The reason for this, he says, is because his eyes are terribly sensitive to light. Whatever the reason, Bono has had individual websites dedicated to finding his (pricey) sunglasses.
Thankfully for those of us who don't survive on a multi-million dollar budget, really cool polarized sunglasses come in a variety of prices. For those of us who want to spend $200 on sunglasses there are boutiques which will be happy to take your money. But for those of us who only want to spend $10 there are plenty of options both on the web and in stores. The main thing to remember is that no matter how good they look if they aren't comfortable then there really isn't a reason to get them. You have to wear them not just pose in them.
While working with Paul McCartney on the two hit singles "The Girl Is Mine" (1982) and "Say Say Say" (1983), the pair became friendly. McCartney told Jackson about the large amount of money he earned from owning music catalogs; he was earning approximately $40 million a year from other people's songs. Jackson subsequently began buying, selling, and distributing publishing rights to music from numerous artists. In 1985, ATV Music, a music publishing company owning thousands of music copyrights, including the Northern Songs catalog that contained the majority of the Lennon-McCartney compositions recorded by the Beatles, was put up for sale. Jackson took an immediate interest in the catalog, but was warned he would face strong competition. Excited, he skipped around saying, "I don't care. I want those songs. Get me those songs Branca [his attorney]". Branca contacted McCartney's attorney, who clarified that his client was not interested in bidding: "It's too pricey". After Jackson had started negotiations, McCartney changed his mind and tried to persuade Yoko Ono to join him in a joint bid, but she declined, so he pulled out. Jackson eventually beat the rest of the competition in negotiations that lasted 10 months, purchasing the catalog for $47.5 million.
On May 14, 1984, he was invited to the White House to receive an award from President Ronald Reagan for his support of charities that helped people overcome alcohol and drug abuse. Jackson won eight awards during the Grammys that year. Unlike later albums, Thriller did not have an official tour to promote it, but the 1984 Victory Tour, headlined by The Jacksons, showcased much of Jackson's new solo material to more than two million Americans. He donated his $5 million share from the Victory Tour to charity. He also co-wrote the charity single "We Are the World" in 1985 with Lionel Richie, which was released worldwide to aid the poor in the U.S. and Africa. It became one of the best-selling singles of all time, with nearly 20 million copies sold and millions of dollars donated to famine relief.
