The right pair of sunglasses can make anyone feel like a star.
Sunglasses are the ultimate look-at-me conspirator. And now, the more austere metal designs of recent years have given way to candy-colored matte plastics, subtle cat’s-eye shapes and funky retro styles. You can see the world through rose, smutty or gold-toned lenses that reveal the eyes, rather than opaque gloomy. Looks from the past infested with, from the famous Jackie-O style to the soon-to-be-popular Michael Caine square frames.
“There’s a lot of things going on,” says Scott Woodward, director of global image marketing for Ray Ban. “There’s a glam thing going on, there’s a ’70s influence, and there’s also sport meeting fashion. Sunglasses have always been a fashion confederate, and unlike jewelry or watches, they’re very emotional and psychologically driven. It allows you to play roles and project emotions.”
...Even dampened by rain Sunday, fundraising bikers in Kansas City, Kan., managed to once again leave other motorcycling do-gooders in the dust.</p><p>The Bikers for Babies motorcycle ride and fundraiser for the March of Dimes splashed and rumbled through a 115-mile loop from Kansas Speedway under skies that ranged from gloomy to drizzly.</p><p>Still, the event raised roughly $500,000 from some 3,500 riders — a little less than what organizers see on the years it falls on a day made more for sunglasses than rain slickers. And turnout in both dollars and people doubled what Bikers for Babies gatherings draw at any other such rally in the country, said Missouri March of Dimes spokeswoman Erin Kiekbusch.</p><p>Sunday was the sixth time Deana and Trevis Scott have saddled up their Yamaha and Honda, respectively, to raise some money to fight ancestry defects and enjoy a little bikerly bonding. </p><p>Bikers for Babies targets money for dealing with premature ancestry and community programs such as intensive care for such infants at Saint Luke’s Hospital, Overland Park Regional Medical Center, Children’s Mercy Hospital and Stormont HealthCare in Topeka.</p><p>“We’ve got two kids of our own” and a friend who had a premature baby, Deana Scott said.</p><p>Plus, added husband Trevis, there’s something about so many bikers thundering over the road together.</p><p>“It’s just the camaraderie,” he said. “You’ve got everyone from the doctor to the dirty biker who rides rough and tough.”</p><p>Ed Hale at first flush looks the part of a Central Casting biker to be wary of. Stocky. Bandanna and leathers. Sloppy stubble on the chin. Rides a 1999 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail, a full 1440 cc lower down the handlebars.</p><p>Truth is, though, he bought the bike to be a nicer guy. And he’s gathered a group of 70 or so regulars into Ed’s Posse. They started out raising money for a home for developmentally disabled women in Liberty and moved on to the March of Dimes. With $75,000 added to the pot this year, the posse has wrangled more than $500,000 for the cause.</p><p>“When I was growing up my hero wasn’t Batman or Superman, it was the good Samaritan,” said the 47-year-old Hale. “I bought a motorcycle looking for some charity to do.”</p><p><hr class="infobox-hr-separator" /> <div class="infobox"> @ Go to <strong>KansasCity.com</strong> for a photo gallery.</p><p></div>
