"Four Devil Heads" is Mr. Ma Zhiming's masterpiece, the villain in the cross-talk "Five Tastes Complete", in which the proud weapon of the light and magic is a pair of sunglasses.
B: What is a mirror?
A: Sunglasses.
B: Oh, good, good! The color-changing mirror is also coming, which is probably the "Kang Ling" brand!
A: Better quality than "Kangling".
This Kangling is today's "Corning", and the screens of our daily mobile phones and computers are still using this brand.
And when it comes to sunglasses, or color-changing glasses, that represents the fashion of the 1980s.
In the 1980s, we began to be exposed to all kinds of new things, becoming the first young people to connect with fashion trends. Wearing mop-like sweeping flared pants, wearing a pair of toad mirrors, and carrying a radio...
It can be seen from this that Mr. Ma Zhiming's cross-talk at that time was very close to the trend, not to mention that people can withstand it.
Sunglasses arose in the late 1970s, and the original source seems to have been the original introduction of the American drama "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic".
Coupled with the blessing of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, it became the most fashionable wear matching piece in the 1980s.
The toad mirror is a kind of sunglasses, but its shape and the color of the lens are no longer the common two ink pieces, but two crooked round non-circular lenses, but they are new things in the new era, and young people who like fashion and openness have no reason not to like it.
At that time, the young man did not have a fat face, all of them were well-defined, still had long hair and a small mustache, and wearing it almost covered most of his face, although wearing it was a pair of live off-off toad eyes; although the old man shook his head when he saw it: "Sunglasses are sunglasses, you have to make a toad, sunglasses are sunglasses, you have to make them colorful, and you say that they look good." "But young people just love it, and in today's terms it's cool and handsome."
When you don't have a few dollars in your pocket, if you want to "tide", you can only buy a cheap one. In fact, at that time, there was no leopard dragon, there was no Louis, the so-called imports were from Hong Kong and Taiwan, or Cantonese imitations, dare to eat crabs to Go to Guangzhou to buy goods, come back can earn a sum, many people are from then on to dig the first bucket of gold. Some of them directly set up stalls and sell, as for those in the unit who go to Guangzhou under the pretext of bringing back their glasses, they are much more upscale, and they will never put them on the ground stalls to sell, and their own use and giving away are the most.
Hong Kong films in the 1990s were one of the sources of fashion.
Now the roadside selling sunglasses with a box, the box is loaded with a variety of glasses, the seller wears a pair of eyes, a pair of forehead tops, these two postures are actually the standard wearing method of toad mirrors, sellers in addition to such an image of selling, clothes are also a prop to show samples, pockets can also hang glasses, clothes are the same, they try to show a variety of toad mirrors as much as possible.
With the toad mirror naturally to "show the pendulum", that kind of pendulum is of course not because of the strength of the sun, to be "turn back", if there is a coffee color, will definitely abandon the ink color, with the color change coating, will never wear the coffee color, more special is the label on the corner of the lens is reluctant to tear off, this is not a brand trademark to show magnanimity, but to show "I am new again", so that others can throw envious eyes, or can tell the followers that this is the latest popular style, which star wears...
With the toad mirror can play people, in order to attract attention in the crowd: the long hair on the head is thrown, the left hand will pull the hair back, the right hand will wear the toad to the eye, the action is coherent, in one go, everything is done, it will be swept around, in fact, it is not to scan the surroundings, but to let the people around look at him, if there is a familiar face, just nod slightly, and then push the glasses on the bridge of the nose with your fingers, or raise your right hand with your index finger and thumb to pinch the mirror along the face of the toad mirror...
Of course, putting on the toad mirror to meet a girlfriend is also a very exemplary thing. Girlfriend is very face, ah, his boyfriend is a "fashionable" young man, naturally not like those "old soil", a can wear a toad mirror to "bubble girl", must be a person who understands fashion, naturally from time to time to bring some cantonese goods to the girlfriend - electronic watches, dresses, such a boyfriend which girl does not like? Even if you take your girlfriend to the movie theater to see a movie, you are reluctant to take it off, but fortunately, this generation is used to watching black and white movies.
Unlike many popular fashions in the past, the toad mirror has never faded out since it entered people's lives, but the men who wear it are not as handsome as in the early days, and more are returning to its true function.
Nowadays, many post-80s guys already have grandchildren, when their children turn out their grandparents' Kangling sunglasses, they will find the traces of the disco years, and it seems that they can see:
Elegant, always out of date!
