Cool Shades provides the first in-depth exploration of the enduring
appeal of sunglasses in visual culture, both historically and
today. Ubiquitous in fashion, advertising, film and graphic design,
sunglasses are the ultimate signifier of 'cool' in mass culture; a
powerful attribute pervading much fashion and pop cultural imagery
which has received little scholarly attention until now. Accessible
and highly engaging, this book offers an original history of how
sunglasses became a fashion accessory in the early twentieth
century, and addresses the complex variety of meanings they have
the power to articulate, through associations with vision, light,
glamour, darkness, fashion, speed and technology in the context of
modernity. Cool Shades will be of great interest to students of
fashion, design, visual and material culture, cultural studies and
sociology, as well as general readers fascinated by this iconic
fashion staple.

A tastefully risque novel that is provoking and not for the faint
of heart... Tattered Ink is a gripping, engaging, non-stop
intoxicating novel about devastating disgraces. The relentless
fiction novel revolves around a life-shattering event that takes
Jessie, a young fifteen year old girl through alarming and
unwittingly suffering. Jessie is unaware of the history behind the
turmoil that her deceased mother endured and is now forced to abide
in the lifestyle that she thinks she must carry on. Her malevolent
father Alex appeased his mind by pressuring his cruel and unwanted
ways onto Jessie; he is virulent as a venomous snake lurking after
its prey. Making peace with her choices she finds a little bit of
hope in a tattoo shop where she is appreciated; yet Jessie has to
unravel the connections and fight to change her reputed lifestyle.
The tragedy of her life was her death, even though she fought to
live.
An attention starving Stephanie Ryan is a woman who must put her
ex-lover and his antics behind her. Comforting herself through
eating, she finds a lover who strongly resembles her favorite treat
white chocolate.
