burn notice sunglasses color
“My name is Michael Westen, I used to be a spy…”
Yeah, you know it and love it – me too. Heck, I watch reruns of the reruns when new episodes aren’t on.
But let’s get down to insolence tacks ‘n such. You’re here because you want to know what sunglasses Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) wears on the show, Burn Notice.
It’s not the easiest thing in the world to determine mostly because they’re not all that common… but fear not, after exhaustive research (as it turns out, interns are more useful than trained monkeys) we’ve figured it out.
However, that doesn’t mean you can get them, not quite. You see, Michael Westen sunglasses happen to be custom made. You can’t buy those exact frames… easily.
First, let’s cover what the heck they are.
They’re Oliver Peoples type sunglasses and they’re size 55. The frame is “Victory” and it’s in gold. The lens color is Cognac.

Back in February I posted a song to my Tumblr: Judy Garland singing "Over the Rainbow" , from her 1961 album Judy at Carnegie Hall . That LP serves as both a summary and celebration of the American popular song in the pre-rock'n'roll era, and given its place in the chronology, it also feels like a passing of the torch ("Bye bye, old world," as Jonathan Richman would say 12 years later).
"Rainbow", of course, is Garland's signature song, and understandably, the audience goes completely insane when she finally hits that big "Why can't I?" at the climax. I posted it on Tumblr to talk about this crowd noise. As great as the song is, one of the most interesting things about it to me is the extended roar of the audience when she finishes and the fanfare kicks in. The crowd explodes section by section, presumably because she is walking around the stage addressing them all in turn. It sounds like a triumphant gladiator parading around a coliseum, an even more apt metaphor considering her difficult life and the crack in her voice in the song's early going, where you wonder for a moment whether she was going to be up for it on this particular night. She was, and she killed, and the crowd understands, and they let her know in the most ecstatic way possible. She earned that almost surreal bust of energy during the curtain call, and the fact that we can't see what's happening and have to reconstruct the scene from sound alone makes it that much more fun.
I've shivered some of the info down here, and will then explain what I do to avoid burns and skin cancer. (The quotes below are all according to the report.) Sunscreen prevents burns but may not prevent cancer: " a wide range of public health agencies

Cover up with clothing, including a unladylike-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses. Clothing can be your most effective form of sun protection, so make the most of it with densely woven and astute-or dark-colored fabrics, which offer the rout defense. |

Unacceptable filters include sunglasses, old color film negatives, ban-and-white film that contains no silver, photographic neutral-density filters, and polarizing filters. Although these materials have very low visible-light transmittance levels, |
