Despite the influx of high-end brands of sunglasses, Hollywood celebrities still prefer one particular brand – Ray Ban.

According to price comparison website, Twenga, the classic and timeless look of Ray Ban continue to awe popular personalities. The Wayfarer line is still the most recognizable Ray Ban sunglasses creation.

The warmer weather is getting near in the United States and as such, Twenga is expecting a larger number of orders for eyewear and sunglasses.

For fashion-conscious consumers, aviator sunglasses are their most preferred choice; athletes go for Oakley sunglasses. The kids also have their own eyewear collections with several items up for grabs and these come in many shapes and colors. The full strap goes around the head for more secure hold while these youngsters play under the summer sun.

Ray Ban was founded in 1937 by Bausch & Lomb. These eyeglasses were introduced for the US Army Air Corps. Twelve years ago, Bausch & Lomb sold the brand to Luxottica Group, an Italian-based company for more than $600 million.

Did you know that Ray bans were a brand of Italian eyewear giant Luxottica who is trying to make its shades cool in China. To do that, the maker of sunglasses has recently started making glasses in China specifically tailored for the Chinese. Part of their strategy is making technical tweaks to better suit Asian facial characteristics, such as a lower nose saddle, where glasses rest on the face, and prominent cheekbones. Hears wishing them all the best in their venture.

Norman Mailer said of Marilyn Monroe:
“Her stomach, untrammeled by girdles or sheaths, popped forward in a full woman’s belly, inelegant as hell, an avowal of a womb fairly salivating in seed – that belly which was never to have a child – and her breasts popped buds and burgeons of flesh over many a questing sweating moviegoer’s face. She was a cornucopia. She excited dreams of honey for the horn.”

And Elizabeth Hurley’s opinion:
“I’d kill myself if I was as fat as Marilyn Monroe.”

When I came across Normal Mailer’s words in his biography of Marilyn it reminded me of the famous Hurley quote and I thought the comparison between the two views of this iconic beauty was quite poignant and sad.

Hatred of a womanly body seems to be a common situation in our culture. Women are brainwashed into thinking they need to be as skinny as possible. We diet, workout, starve ourselves, judge each other harshly, and spend our lives in deprivation and desperation.

Meanwhile, men naturally adore the lush, sexual, curvy female body. They desire the soft, voluptuous bodies we women are born into.

Our natural bodies don’t require stringent dieting or starvation or plastic surgery or sculpting. We are each a perfect, unique creation and the more we accept and love our womanliness, the more wonderful life feels.

The Hurley quote used to make me angry. Now it just makes me sad that we have learned to be so shallow and so mean to one another, and to ourselves, with the thoughts we have about the female body.
