It doesn’t hurt to ask.

I need some new sunglasses. Does anybody own some I can have? Not super-expensive* ones, just ones that would look dapper on me. And possibly shade my eyes. I'm not looking to borrow any. I would literally like for somebody who is tired of last season's model to just GIVE me theirs. I will not pay you, but I will say thank you, and make them look timeless, and perhaps post a self-portrait of me wearing them. I would really like a new pair, as my children** have broken my previous favourites.

Thank you. I'm sorry if this doesn't make total sense, but my eyes are very fatigued from the sun and it's making it difficult to be articulate.

Thank you again, whoever comes through for me.

Joseph
