What Women Want -- Palin's Glasses
Opticians Report Surge In Requests For Palin's Frames

SAN DIEGO -- Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is not just rocking the political world -- she's creating quite a frenzy for opticians with her signature frames.
Doug D'Amico said he's rushing to order Palin's glasses. The Encinitas optician told NBC 7/39 he's getting calls from women who want to buy the same glasses worn by Palin during her convention speech Wednesday night.
"It's fun," D'Amico says. "While we stay away from politics, the glasses make a strong professional statement."
The plan is to get the glasses in the store sometime Friday.
D'Amico's office, Europtics, is located at the Lumberyard Shopping Mall in North County, but it's not the only store getting calls.
Reports coming in across the country say that eyewear companies haven't seen interest in a pair of glasses like this in years. According to USA Today, the U.S. distributor of the frames keeps getting calls from dealers who want to stock the exact shape and style Gov. Palin is wearing.
**SNIP**
The Palin frame runs around $400 without lenses. D'Amico said the price with lenses sells for between $600 and $800.
"It will increase business," says D'Amico, "but it will also increase awareness of how you can show power and authority and still feel good in glasses."

Pssst-it’s all the men sending their wives for those glasses!
Actually Hillary’s at the gym working on the cankles.
Huma told her that pantsuits won’t cut it for 2012.
Palin is a game changer......
Er, uhm, yes. A gunny sack would be good. Much better, in fact.
(It's shorter on the bottom, lower on the top, has more holes ...)
That’s really where the comparison to Tina Fey starts and ends: it’s in the glasses.

A queue of people wait to have their hardbacks signed by Jake Jarmel, who sits at a table, wearing spectacles with dark oval frames. Kramer is having his copy signed.
JAKE: Okay, K-Man, enjoy the book.
KRAMER: Okay, thank you. Listen Jake, uh, where did you get those eyeglass frames?
JAKE: I can’t tell you that.
KRAMER: So you don’t know where you got ‘em?
JAKE: Yes I do. But I don’t want anyone else to have them.
KRAMER: Well, that’s peculiar. (leaves)

Elaine is running after a guy who is indeed wearing identical spectacles to Mr Jarmel.
ELAINE: (calling down street) ‘Scuse me! ‘Scuse me. (catches up to guy) Excuse me, sir. Sir?
GUY: Yes?
ELAINE: Uh. Ah, if you don’t mind my asking, could you tell me where you got your glasses?
GUY: Malaysia.
ELAINE: Malaysia?
GUY: Yeah.
ELAINE: Uhm, look, I know this’ll sound odd, but can I buy them from you?
GUY: Actually, I was gonna buy a new pair.
ELAINE: (positive) Oh! (little chuckle)
GUY: But I, I can barely see without these.
ELAINE: C’mon.
GUY: Well, these were expensive.
ELAINE: Let’s start the bidding.

Jake still at the signing table. People still queuing. Elaine skips past the queue.
ELAINE: Jake, Jake. Take a look. (puts on the frames she bought) Aaw, see, you're not the only one who has ‘em. I have them too.
JAKE: Where did you get those?
ELAINE: Malaysia. I was in the area.

Excellent post.....saw that from earlier today.
Glad to know that she’s a woman comfortable enough in her own skin to wear glasses in public. Makes me feel validated. :-)
Talk about selling it!
*snicker*
I got designer frames with lenses for 1/3 of the price elsewhere at Sams Club - if anyone cares.
Me, I’m trying to figure out which brand of cosmetics she wears...especially that lipstick!
