One is a boy and one is a girl. One battled other MCs while the other battled war. Sunglasses are the only thing they have in common – so it’s time we settled the score.

This battle has been quietly raging for almost 30 years. In recent performances neither artist has shelved the shades and conceded defeat. They both assume credit for popularizing what have become some of the most sought-after vintage sunglasses around.

From this point forward the Porsche Carrera 5620 sunglasses will be the signature shades of only one of these two performers. The choice is yours. Choose wisely.

We plugged in our Betamax player and started watching old tapes. Coincidentally the topic of celebrity fashion becomes very interesting.

Legendary benders always start the exact same way: 80 year old parents go out for the evening and trust their nerdy offspring not to make a mess. A mission that would have been accomplished if not for the party crashing Beastie Boys who come armed with a rubber marital aid. Trespassing, theft and vandalism are complimented by questionable liquids in a punch bowl to ensure this soiree is sinfully ’80s.

What do you get when you cross the world’s fastest production car with a young Sharon Stone (or two) and use 1980s electro as your theme music?

You get one seriously badass promo for vintage Porsche sunglasses. This is the opening scene/episode to season five of Magnum P.I. and the same music used for the end credits of Blade Runner. The mischievous version of Sharon Stone wore Porsche Carrera sunglasses with yellow lenses for night driving. They made it easier for her to drive so fast, especially since the editors obviously sped the footage up.

Carrera made an amazing line of “C80″ Porsche design folding sunglasses. There were numerous variations to the design but all had one thing in common: they folded. The end result fits in to a convenient compact zipper pouch that makes it even easier to lose your sunglasses. As an added bonus you’re encouraged to make transformer sound effects during the fold/unfold process.
