Keepin' it Real 3D

When a person goes to see a new movie in theaters for viewing in "Real 3D," such as Avatar or Alice in Wonderland etc, they will acquire a pair of "Real 3D" glasses. These new plastic glasses are different from the cheap paper glasses from 3D movies of yore, and are in fact super-fly. These glasses may be kept after viewing the movie and worn by their owner at different social gatherings such as dance parties, raves, concerts, etc. This action can be referred to as "Keepin' it Real 3d" because it allows one to get a rep for their "Real 3D" experience, making others aware of the baller status they must hold for being able to afford such expensive movie tickets.

Wearer of Real 3D Glasses:
"Yo Arry (friend), check my swag! I just saw Alice in Wonderland, and I'm keepin' it Real 3D."

Arry:

"Oh shit playboy, you look real fresh tonight."
