This is a short and sweet one, but with the debate coming tonight I thought I would throw this out.I read a recent article on our weekly liberal rag's online site quoting an optometrist discussing the mad rush for Sarah Palin eyeglass frames - here's the quote:
"The Kazuo Kawasaki frames run from $450 to $475, and lenses are priced separately. Bennett says the phones have been ringing off the hook for Palin glasses in their Collierville location. "
I know it doesn't compare to having more houses and cars than you can count, but it does seem a little on the high side for a silly set of eyeglass frames. I wear glasses and I've picked out frames for the past 30 years or so and don't recall EVER selecting a frame that cost more at $130 or so. Most years I try to reuse the frame I have, or pick a low cost one. Her high priced ones seem elitist and excessive to me, but maybe that's just what average soccer moms in Alaska do.
Also, I have to ask why ANYONE would want to emulate air-head Palin?
Maybe she needs special high price frames to help her read ALL the newspapers and magazine that are put in front of her.
Here's the link to the actual article in the Memphis Flyer. enjoy.
