Ray-Ban Aviators



THE KING OF RAY BAN - http://www.sunglasses-shop.co.uk/ray-ban/celebrities/october-2008/Michael-Jackson-Ray-Ban-3362.asp


==============================================
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray-Ban_Aviator

Aviator sunglasses are a style of sunglasses that were developed by Ray-Ban in 1937. They are characterized by dark, often reflective lenses having an area two or three times the area of the eye socket, and metal frames with wire temples which hook behind the ears. Contemporary models are often polarized.
They were given their name due to their oblique teardrop shape, which matched those of the smoked-lens flying goggles which Ray-Ban was then selling to the Army and Navy.


The popularity of the glasses sky-rocketed as many celebrities began wearing the style of sunglasses. The style was popular since the 1960s, but hit a peak largely in the 1980s following pop culture references and use by celebrities in films like Top Gun, where Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise sported them. Other notable wearers include John Lennon, Travis Bickle, Slash, M. Shadows, Sam Totman, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Madonna, Hunter S. Thompson, Irwin Sparkes, Lemmy Kilmister, Johnny Knoxville, Pat Lobene, Freddie Mercury, Roger Waters, Steven Tyler, Axl Rose, Kanye West, Jim Morrison, Mas Oyama, Shahrukh Khan, Jimmy Page, John Bonham and GG Allin.

Thanks for posting! Happy birthday for yesterday :hug:

Where is Gaob? I've never heard of it

I think the correct word is Gabon, not Gaob.

It was Gabon indeed. A nice article from back then:

Michael's true superstardom began with "Thriller," produced by Quincy Jones in 1982, which became the biggest-selling record album of all time. Michael had seen my film "An American Werewolf in London" and was fascinated by Rick Baker's groundbreaking makeup effects. Michael told me he "wanted to turn into a monster." I proposed making a short film for theatrical release, instead of a standard musicvideo. Walter Yetnikoff of CBS Records politely told us to "fuck off" when we asked for financing. Regardless, we were able to raise the money from two television presales. I wrote a script, and production was painless and fun. Michael's celebrity was incredible. Everyone famous, from Jackie Onassis to Marlon Brando, visited the set. The "Michael Jackson's Thriller" short was booked with "Walt Disney's Fantasia" at the Avco Cinema in Westwood, and the response was so gigantic that Yetnikoff insisted that it be pulled from theaters and broadcast on television. It quickly aired on Showtime and then MTV, and the "Thriller Album" doubled its already record-breaking sales.

Great post.Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday Mssnoop!!!!!
