Last winter we wrote about the exclusive new collection of Gold Edition sunglasses plated in pure 18-carat gold from Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. Now the duo has added some new designs to the luxe collection - whose fans include Brad Pitt – including two cool new Fifties-inspired styles (above) for Spring / Summer 2011. The slick shades starred in Dolce & Gabbana's Fall 2010 / 2011 men's fashion show in tribute to the 20th anniversary of their men's collections. There are two versions, one with rounded lenses and one square, available in black or tortoiseshell. Made in Italy, the sunglasses feature polarized glass, and a certificate of authenticity comes with each pair of glasses attesting to the originality, design and quality and the use of 18-carat gold. Each pair is presented in its own jewelry case featuring a plaque with the words "Dolce &Gabbana Gold Edition". Inside there is a portable case in black leather, decorated with a plaque and logo. The Gold Edition models are available at ILORI Luxury Sunglass boutiques with prices ranging from $490 - $580, except for the squared version which will be on sale exclusively in Dolce & Gabbana boutiques.

More over priced nonsense. Anyone buying these is too fashion conscious for their own good.

99Cent Store got a hand full of shades for $5. Keep a pair everywhere. No need for insurance if they are lost or stolen.

Someone commented above, stating; "God-awful".

What is so awful about a God who is perfect and holy in all His ways?

Satan is the one who is awful. Why not speak the truth, and say "Satan-awful?"

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

"For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him, might be saved" (John 3:16,17).

"The thief, (Satan), cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I (Jesus), am come, that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

AOL needs to get better columnists who know what they're talking about. Obviously that author didn't do their research. But then, lately, I've found several articles here that give incorrect information.

Steven Russell - This is for you. Why not add Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy too!? The Bible is just another fairy-tale quasi-history book written in superstitious times to justify hate by the overly religious brainwashed. Compassion and empathy is all you need to be a good person.
