Celebrity is the new buzz word. It used to be applied to people who were justifiably famous like the President of the United States, the Queen of England, heroes, film stars and rock superstars – oh and footballers. Nowadays anyone who has had a spot on prime time television, for whatever reason, is liable to be called a Celebrity. The cult of celebrity can be observed on both sides of the Atlantic and is most obvious when magazines speak of celebrity clothes and Celebrity sunglasses – as if owning these things somehow confers celebrity status. Everyone now wears their sunglasses wherever they go because that is what the celebrities do, it is even cool today to wear your sunglasses to a night club.

The new style Celebrity develops a life style to support their Celebrity status; this means that they don’t leave the house unless they are wearing their Celebrity sunglasses. In England the wives and girlfriends of top football players are given Celebrity status and everyone wants to know what they are doing and what they are wearing. If a celebrity wears big Celebrity sunglasses, within a week, everyone is wearing them – or they’re wearing replicas or knockoffs. It doesn’t matter so long as they have that coveted Celebrity look.

Gone are the days when celebrities only wore their sunglasses to the beach. Nowadays at every news flash and press conference you will find Celebrities in sunglasses. If you asked then you’d probably find out that no Celebrity buys sunglasses on eBay, even if you ask what Celebrity buys sunglasses on eBay you are likely to get the same response. What celebrities want are designer sunglasses, they want something that is different to what everyone else is wearing because that befits their celebrity status.

Some of the new style celebrities are famous for their shopping habits. You will see celebrities in designer clothes stores and you might find the same celebrity in sunglass designer stores – looking for a match for their latest outfit. This practice has now become so widespread that some youngsters seem to think if they only had the right sunglasses Celebrity status would be theirs. A Celebrity in Gucci sunglasses usually means an increase in the number of replicas and knock offs of that particular Gucci style. Any Celebrity who had bought their sunglasses on eBay and ended up with a replica pair would be sure to make celebrity sunglass history.
