No doubt. I very much got the impression while standing around the mall booth that sunglasses are a "pay-for-image" product. Some college kid was bragging (loudly) to his girlfriend that he has "every model Oakley makes". Some other guy was making a fuss about them not having some specific model in yet. All of these guys were 5-10 years younger than me. I felt like they were just barely scraping the money together (or taking on debt) to get this image product, while this is something that I can easily afford and I just can't justify the excessive expense to myself.
