If they are, Hillary is going to be arrested for indecent exposure. And she REALLY would need to stay out of the sun.

Reminds me of Barbara Bush's three strand faux pearl necklace.

Would we be scrutinizing a man's fashion this way? No. This is sexist. HOW DARE THEY!! HOW DARE THEY!!

/oh, wait...they were praising her. Never mind, it's OK!

I would expect more women to opt for copying the glasses style of an attractive young woman than to adopt the pant suit style of an old biddy.

Glasses make people look smarter, so I imagine Sarah looks like a puddle of protoplasmic goo without hers.

The only question I'd ask Palin about her glasses is this: "Hey, nice glasses. So why do you continue to claim you were against the 'Bridge to Nowhere' when you really didn't speak against it until it was clear that it was going to be killed anyway? By the way, nice glasses."

A story about Sarah Palin? But she's not doing any interviews! How can they come up with such quality material based on nothing?

I would tell her to go back to her optometrist and have him get her glasses that allow her to see she is unfit for the position she is running for. Maybe some Morpheus ones that clip on the bridge of her nose.

Hey nice glasses. By the way Gov Palin when you were mayor of Wassila what your intentions when you asked the town's llibrarian about banning books? But hey those are really nice glasses.

And they sell for $375, without the lenses. I don't know what vision insurance pays for $375 glasses. She's an elitist.

Its the masses obsession with the new face in town that driving it all. Add to that a simple flame is being fanned into an inferno by her intentional avoidance of the media.
Its getting out of hand.

None of it would be happening if Obama played his cards better.
With his popularity in a democratic year he could have won with almost anyone in the VP spot, and then he picks an old man with chronic foot in mouth disease.

Bleh.

I wasn't trolling for anything. That's the truth. These farkers were total assholes about Democrats finding someone they actually wanted to vote for. They were crying that Dems weren't paying attention to the issues. Now they're falling all over themselves to talk about how great Palin is, without saying a word about her accomplishments or her politics - and now there's this Jackie Kennedy-esque fashion following. Makes me sick. But do I expect the Republicans to not be hypocrites? Ha. Ha. Ha. No.

That's sexist.

Coco LaFemme [TotalFark] 2008-09-07 02:01:51 PM  
She will never be Jackie Kennedy. Not in style, certainly not in substance. I don't even know why anyone would write an article about someone's glasses. Say, when is that new article about Barack Obama's underwear hitting the interwebs? That should be fine reading.

Why does Sarah Palin hate American eyeglass designers?

 
aekdbubba 2008-09-07 02:16:27 PM  
the thing is, there's nothing else we can talk about with regards to Palin. She is being held in a bunker for the next two weeks while she's taught neoconservative foreign and fiscal policy.

We're pretty much left to stuff like this so long as a state governor is being hidden from the press for a few weeks.

 
Bacontastesgood 2008-09-07 02:16:42 PM  
Is her total lack of qualifications the new Hillary cackle?

Are reporters 99% brain dead?

I'm outraged that the media is more or less letting this slide. They should be hounding the Republicans, demanding to know why they won't allow the media to talk to Sarah Palin.

Your "liberal media" at work.

Because nothing says smart and sophisticated like imitating something you saw on the boob tube. I think I see why ABC has been shut out of the presidential debates - they report crap and pass it off as news.

What a ridiculous price for frames! I can find hand-made acetate frames (manufactured in France in the early 30's and never used) for under $50. Just as distinctive-looking and unique, but fiscally smarter.

 
enlitend 2008-09-07 03:29:17 PM  
Send her back home! She's still in training, horned rim glasses or not.

 
ZeroCorpse [recently expired TotalFark] 2008-09-07 04:32:36 PM  
As an optician, I can say that rimless glasses sort of suck, from a structural point of view. They're delicate and a pain in the ass to repair. Most of the time, you simple can't repair them-- Once broken, they're done.

With that said, I've noticed a drop in patients looking at rimless glasses since Darth Palin's introduction as VP candidate. She's not making them cool... She's making them seem like the requisite uniform for a conniving politician.

Sorry, but NOBODY emulates politicians' fashion. They're the least fashionable people in the world.

Right now, titanium rectangular frames are all the rage with people over 30. Plastic rectangular frames are still very popular with people under 30. Half-frames are still popular with people (particularly older women) who only need prescription reading glasses.

And my prices are a LOT better than what I've seen in this thread thus far. If you people knew the actual cost for frames and lenses, and how much Pearl Vision, RX Optical, LensCrafters, and most of the other national chains mark them up, you'd feel sick.

Let's just say that the lab cost for the Transitions process isn't anywhere near triple digits, as Pearl Vision or LensCrafters would have you believe.

You're getting robbed... but they'd certainly bring the price down if they weren't blatantly gouging insurance companies.
