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."
I agree, the lenses are planos.
Well, all I can say is “Is she Irish???”
If not, game over!!
(just kiddin here. She seems to have tremendous sensibilities. Imagine how she would be if she Irish)
I posted here the day after her speech that her frames would become the newest fashion statement.
My wife says customers were asking for that style the very next day.
My glasses are Harley Davidson’s. :) Never knew they made glasses until I bought my pair.
I want to know what lipstick and makeup she uses.
And that hair. Most women get home from work, change clothes, and pull back their hair. Only Sarah looks much better than the rest of us.
The ‘naughty librarian’ look, indeed.
I always thought that people who got crushes on politicians were stupid. Now look at me, it’s awful.
Lots of companies have tie-ins. DKNY, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Oakley, Chanel and Prada, to name a few off the top of my head.
But glasses don’t fit into the “sexy” part.
Ain’t a man on Earth who walks into a joint hopin to find a dame with full and sensitive eyeware!
(High school fantasies be damned! She was blonde and short and didn;t wear glasses!!!)
I wear glasses and as far as I can tell they’ve never deterred men.
I cannot think of one classy or ladylike liberal. They all tend to be “in your face”; tacky, brassy, or downright ‘lez’.
Having the impact on the fashion World Jackie O had.
Think about how close we came to having pant suits all the rage. THANK GOD we didn’t go down that road.
I would change the title to : Palin Brings Sexy Back
I was noticing a few days ago she does not have just one pair, she has many, many pairs. They are all beautiful.
Hence, when the Dems ask her how many pairs of glasses she owns, she will reply, ¨I don’t know,¨ and all hell will break lose
I probably paid over $200 for my frames. I am blind in multiple ways so the entire package cost me close to $800.
I am reminded of the song some years ago, “Nothing On But the Radio.”
I used to work with a family practice doc who would tell patients worried about their weight, “Take off all your clothes and stand in front of a mirror. If you don’t like what you see, then it’s time to do something.” I think she would pass that test.
There's one that I almost mentioned in my previous post. Jackie Kennedy. She was ladylike and classy, but she didn't have the personality. She wasn't 'approachable'. She also lost a lot of points when she married Onassis. Almost makes me wonder if she married into the Kennedy's for money and then did the same with Onassis.
