While most critics called Palin's speech at the RNC a home run, others are saying her glasses stole the show.
"She won the hearts of America with certainly those glasses she had on," Editor in Chief of 20/20, a magazine about glasses, James Spina said. "She certainly made her stance as someone who wears eyewear because it's iconic to her look."
The now sought-after Palin frames will cost you around $375, excluding the lenses.
"As you may have noticed they were not invisible on her. She's in the rimless style that has a lot of attention going to the temples, they're jewel-like cut in the lenses, and a pretty dramatic shape," Spina said.
And Palin's not the only one sporting sexy glasses says Spina, "More and more people are treating their glasses like an accessory."
Spina says not only are glasses trendy, but sexy too, "It is sexy, it's a way to strongly identify your own personality. And guys look great in them and women look beautiful in them."
Kawasaki is a brand I have never heard of and I have a lot of glasses.
The glass edge AND her eyes SPARKLED....it was amazing.
It’s almost like a designer, semi-custom made brand from what I understand.
Kawasaki.....I’ll have to look into them.
Gov. Palin looks just as good without them. but I must say she looks good in those frames as well. It is a testament to the fact that optical frames come and go with the fasion of the times... Buddy Hollidays (aka birth control {BC} super retro)frames do look good on some people.
Though of course not on a guy like me.
Blech!
Quite frankly she looks her best in a poopy suit with the troops.
I’m just very glad that for the speech, she switched to those from her usual monstrosities.
She looks good in the black frame glasses, too, so it isn't the rimless glasses. It isn't the glasses at all. Its the person wearing the glasses and the way they carry themselves and portray themselves. And she did it without showing cleavage or having a skirt barely covering her butt. Classy.
Her glasses can be found here, for a reasonable price.

AGREE!
:-). Great advertising. We’ll see. I just spent thousands to get rid having to wear them—lol. Aw fashion. So fickle.
funny how nobody opined that she wears glasses because she might NEED them and NOT to make a fashion statement?
Sarah Palin puts a lot of effort into not looking like a beauty queen. Behind the glasses, the formless suits, and the ridiculous Diana Moon Glampers-approved hairdo, is an attempt to divert attention from her looks so people will take her more seriously.
Of course, when you are as attractive as Palin is, there is only so much you can do.
She is a beautiful woman but,
she’s too short,
she is almost but not quite sexy enough, and
she ain’t Irish.
Other than that, I love her spunk!
And sometimes a man needs a woman who can change a diaper, but couldn’t change a starter!!
;<}
How tall is she? I had the impression she was of average height--around 5'5"--because she's shorter than John McCain, who is around 5'7".
I think she works very hard to avoid being perceived as sexy. Somewhere I saw a quotation about those glasses, how she chose to wear them and put her hair up in order to avoid being perceived as sexy when she wanted to be taken seriously as a governor.
