A monocle looks like a babe magnet. You can magically stick one half of a pair of glasses on your eye and that shite stays? WTF. I'm going to see if I can find one and bring this back single handedly.

eye patch > monocle.

Both can't hold a candle to the cape, obviously.

People probably kept running into fricking walls and tripping over shite due to lack of depth perception.

Can one pair a monocle with an ascot, or is that too much vintage throwback?

Broke. I'll follow your lead. I have recently considered sporting the monocle.

I'm not sure they completely went away in England. I remember jokingly tweeting something about a monocle a few years ago and some Brit replied to me and told me he sells monocles in England and business is good. but I LOLed because he was a Brit jumping to the defense of monocles.

I saw a guy last April in Grand Cayman wearing a monocle. He had a nice handlebar mustache too although he couldn't possibly be a hipster since he looked to be in his early to mid sixties.

Looked bad assed.

My oldest son bought me a monocle last Christmas. He was inspired by a character I created in the video game Rock Band. I've been ranting for years now that the monocle WILL make a return and rock/pop music will be the delivery platform.

But I now believe it will happen in rap music. Book it.

It'd be kinda cool if proper hats were still a common thing. I'd take anything from top hats to a bowler.

I wonder if it gives people headaches from squeezing their eye shut trying to keep it in place?
