I’ve been looking for a new pair of sunglasses since I lost my last pair. Tonight I went on the Oakley site, and (OMG! OMG! OMG! *jumps in chair while typing*) they have Asian Fit sunglasses and goggles! Now, this may seem strange to non-Asian people, but finding glasses/sunglasses that fit properly has always been difficult for me (and presumably other Asian people). Usually frames are too tight around my temples, slide down my nose, and touch my cheekbones (creating unsightly dents in my cheeks that take a while to go away). And now on their Asian Fit frames Oakley has made the ear stems more rounded to prevent touching at the temples, narrowed and deepened the nose bridge so the glasses will stay put, and reduced the curvature of the front to prevent touching at the cheeks and temples. I am so excited to try these on. I wish I had seen this two weeks ago when the mall was still open at 10:30 pm. I hope they didn’t sell out of these on Boxing Day.
UPDATE: As of this afternoon I am a proud owner of a pair of Oakley Asian Fit Five 3.0’s. 😀

I laughed when I saw “Chinky sunglasses” and was happy to see that reference was exactly what I thought it was.
Cue the “but she can say that!” from the polite white folks.

I assume she means “sunglasses with many chinks: small dents or cracks”. What else could it possibly be?

Chink is a racial slur for Chinese, like gook is for Korean.
Because all Asians are Chinese, didn’t you know? We aw rook the same! 🙂

Gook means KOREAN? I thought it included all Asian people.

Do they come with the lovely lady in the bikini?
Er, I mean, does Oakley make glasses for fat-heads like myself?
