Rammellzee such talent shall live on forever...

RAMMΣLLZΣΣ in his gangster look. RAMMΣLLZΣΣ know for hitting the A train with his spike styled lettered tags in the 1970's and 1980's, made his mark on the graffitti scene.  His unique persona of wild Gothic styled costumes that he sculpted from metal and masks that he wore almost as if to cloak himself from the norm. He also became know in the hip hop scene for his unique vocal style that influenced such artist as the Beastie Boys.
His influential talents shall be missed in many different genres, graffiti writer, performance artist and rap/music. In a recent interview he stated the derivation of his name "RAM" plus "'M' for 'Magnitude', 'Sigma' (Σ) the first summation operator, first 'L' - 'longitude', second 'L' - 'latitude', 'Z' - 'z-bar', Σ, Σ - 'summation'."
Godspeed RAMMΣLLZΣΣ.

Notorious Big...Vintage Sunglasses

Notorious Big is synonymous with Black Vintage Sunglasses. 
Big is one of my all time favorites I love his sound and can listen to his tracks all day. He made his ganster style a force that so many have tried to replicate. But no one in my mind matches this Eastcoast Hip Hop artist.
This vintage Emanuelle Khanh circa 1980's featured here from www.atticeyewear.com is of the same style that I feel Biggie would have been proud to wear. It features Ostrich Leather embellishing on the front as well as side arm's that make this vintage sunglass unforgettable. 
So..."Uh, and if you don't know, now you know"...
Atticeyewear.com your source for a look that will make you memorable.

Marlon Brando...Vintage Sunglasses

Marlon Brando looking Cool in his vintage sunlglasses circa 1970's! I consider Brando one of the greats.  His method acting style set the stage for others like Jack Nicholson and Al Pacino. His mumbling diction added depth to the character he portrayed, made them real and obtainable.
Marlon was also an activist for both the Civil Rights Movement and a supporter of The American Indian Movement.
He was a Rebel with many causes.

New Page for the Blog called EYE Do's

You know I like to be a positive person so I am starting a new addition to the Blog called Eye Do 's . You may ask yourself, self what does she mean by Eye Do's and no I did not misspell it either.  Let me expound. The term Eye Do is used to refer to an affirmation of an EYEwear look that one should want to commit to.  Similar to marriage.  You are committed to the look and Rock it!  So look for my new segments featuring some Eye Do's.  Atticeyewear.com has published our word on Urban Dictionary so check it out and give us a thumbs up.

Come Out of Your Shell...Vintage Sunglasses

This vintage ad for... Smirnoff Vodka from 1960's is so campy. I just love the image and what a perfect subject. Woody Allen iconic image remains steadfast to date. His classic Vintage Rockabilly Eyeglasses are synonymous with his name.  This is a great technique to allow your vintage eyewear to speak for you. So if you are not the gregarious type creating a point of interest can bring about a conversation.

This vintage eyeglass we call the Woody Allen is available at atticeyewear.com. It is a great selection for both ladies and men. Will also work well with a clear lens if you need to add your prescription.
Just as this vintage ad says "Come out of Your Shell" I say with Vintage Eyewear!

Bausch and Lomb the Original Ray Ban Vintage Sunglasses...

This vintage ad for Ray Ban emphasizes the beginning of sunglasses becoming a high-end  fashion statement.  Ray Ban was produced for The United States Army Corps by Bausch and Lomb with high quality glass lenses. Ray Ban has distinguished themselves as a consistent brand in the sunglass market. Their trademark Ray Ban  logo has never changed,  however other things have.
Sadly to say Bausch and Lomb sold the division of Ray Ban in 1999 to Luxottica a huge conglomerate whose objective in my opinion is to own the eyewear industry .  Strategically purchasing as many retail  optical outlets as well as lens manufacturers making the playing field difficult for many smaller retailers to compete.
Atticeyewear.com has several styles by the original  manufacturer Bausch and Lomb quite similar to the ones you see in this vintage ad for Ray Ban circa 1960!

Power to the People...
