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."

Of course there is always that remote possibility that Palin’s selection might backfire with some women,...the ones whose husbands per chance errantly mutter the name ‘Sarah’ during more intimate moments with their wives ....);^0

No way. Huma got them from an anonymous donor for her.

They may match the pattern on the purloined WhiteHouse China.

It very well could be Mary Kay. My friend in Wasilla used to be Sarah's "Mary Kay Lady" before she got out of the business.

Kathleen Dowd will get angry again....but maybe Michael Douglas would produce it.

KZJones would be okay, but Sandra Bulluck is perfect for the part — athletic, big, outgoing, straightforward, feminine without the gew-gaws, and drop-dead gorgeous.

Palin has “it”. That gift that is natural. She is unlike any VP candidate of the last 50 years.

People are already falling in love with her and the family.

The DEMS and MSM know they have ticked off a lot of females the past week. They are backpedaling quickly.

Of course they will follow her every step, waiting for the big gaffe. But they will ignore Obama’s.
