A few weeks ago Get Reading, the online presence of The Reading Post out of the UK, reported that some oversized plastic novelty lighters were being removed from shops in Bracknell town centre.
According to Bracknell Forest Council’s Trading Standards, oversized plastic novelty lighters that measure more than six inches in length could explode into a fireball. The reason being that the flame on these plastic lighters does not extinguish itself, and can remain burning for hours underneath the cap. Once the plastic fuel container melts, the escaping fuel can cause a fireball explosion.
"I would urge residents not to use these lighters as they can cause serious injury," said Rob Sexton, the head of Trading Standards and services.
Residents have been warned to not purchase the lighters shown in the picture above, and have been asked by Councillor Iain McCracken to report any shops selling the banned lighters to the Council’s Trading Standards team.
All of our cigarette lighters are wind proof, refillable and have replaceable wicks and flints.
Starting as low as $12 per dozen, our lighters are a great additional to any retail display, and sell well in most locations, such as gas stations, convenience stores, fairs and just about anywhere.
Luis Santiago, a student at University of Wisconsin-Stout's School of Art and Design, is entering his final semester this year, and he already has a popular sunglasses design on the market.
Rainy Days, pictured above, are the sunglasses that he designed in late 2010 for Coco And Breezy, an online supplier of sunglasses, fashion eyewear and accessories.
"Their style is very different, very out there. It’s not a regular sunglass, " says Santiago. When asked about his final design choice he said, "I tried to keep it fairly simple and true to their brand." And it looks like his decision paid off. A few months after he submitted his designs, he was asked to create a 3D model and engineering specifications for production in to China.
By the fall of 2011, his sunglasses had their debut at the New York Fashion Week and were even been featured in Beyoncé's music video, "Party", modeled by none other than Coco and Breezy themselves. Check out the video below and see if you can spot the Rainy Days or any of our party sunglasses:
With the success of Rainy Days, Santiago has now become the lead designer for Coco and Breezy. "I’ve always wanted to design wearable products. Rainy Days has really helped with my portfolio. It’s a pretty big step," he said.
John Lennon was an English musician who was most famously known as a member of the 60s rock group, The Beatles. Some of his greatest songs that he wrote while a member of the Beatles include, Help, In My Life, Strawberry Fields Forever, and Come Together. Lennon also had a successful solo career, and his most notable songs include, Imagine, Mother, and Give Peace a Chance.
Besides being a successful musician, Lennon was also a political activist who spoke out against the Vietnam War and, with his wife Yoko Ono, held their famous weeklong Bed-In For Peace at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal. It was during this Bed-In that Give Peace a Chance was recorded.
Lennon was also known for sporting his trademark teashade glasses and sunglasses. Being huge Lennon fans ourselves, Wholesale Discount Sunglasses now carries a line of John Lennon Sunglasses in honour of this revolutionary cultural icon.

When it comes to wholesale sunglasses WDS is cutting edge with its designs. The aviators have been around for some time and seem to come an go in popularity with younger people but for many this style is always desired. The aviators fit well for most but can have problems fitting people with smaller faces if the size of the frame is to large. We have seen this problem with smaller faced people before. If you are one who has a smaller face try them on if they go to far out to the sides you have a model that is to wide. You can always adjust the nose pieces but the frames will be extended out to the sides to far. Try a different style you will find one that will eventually fit.
Here are a couple of new wholesale aviator sunglasses we just received.
These are DE Designer Eyewear Brand Sunglasses the wholesale price on DE589 is $26 per dozen and DE590 is priced the same. Both of these styles have spring hinges. This is one way of telling if the sunglasses you are buying are higher quality. It cost more to manufacture the sunglasses with the spring hinges.
When comparing these two styles of wholesale aviators you will notice the DE590 has frames in basic metal colors and the DE589 has them in colored frames. If a person is trying to match a certain outfit the color frames may work better. Both styles are nice one seems to be more fashion and the other more sporty. We hope you have enjoyed the information about these new models. You can see our full line of wholesale aviator sunglasses here.

Aviator sunglasses are one of the most popular styles among out long list of sunglasses. They are a favorite of musicians, movie stars and normal people a like. And because of their reputation, they can be seen almost anywhere.
Most people are drawn to the simple shape of the aviator frame. Oval-ish shaped frames with an elongated bottom; they are just the right size for most people. They are big enough to cover one’s eyes without over-dominating a person’s face. They come with a range of lens types, from mirrored, to polarized, to simple black. Each lens offers a special type of protection and a different look for the person wearing them, allowing a freedom of expression while still wearing your favorite shade style. Even some law enforcement personal wear aviators, more for the way they hide the eyes and simple practicality then for fashion.
Many movies or music videos would be incomplete without someone wearing aviators. This fad started with such movies as Top Gun and continued to be incorporated into other forms of entertainment. Funny how one celebrity can wear shades and even years after the movie was released those same sunglasses are still filling the fashion industry. If you are looking for a popular style with just enough individuality to make it count, take a look at our aviator section. You are bound to find just what you are looking for.
