Cat Glasses of the Fifties

We all wanted feline female cat glasses in 1952.
We could get them with silvery rhinestones too.
I wanted them for sure, when I saw them later.
For in 1952 I was still cooking in an incubator.

These cat glasses were worn by each movie star.
We loved them so, they were glitzy from afar.
By 1962 they were no longer the thing to wear.
By then I was ten. Fashion at this age gave me not a care.

I'm thinking of a British comedian who wore them. She was a he, as well as I recall. Oh, yeah, Dame Edna. So funny!
