WHAT A SPECTACLE
ALL EYES ON SARA PALIN'S UNIQUE GLASSES
Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin made all kinds of political statements during her convention speech, but the fashion statement she made with her glasses is what intrigued eyewear professionals.
Italee Optics of Los Angeles has increased its imports of the frames in response to Palin's appearance, a company manager said.
"We were just talking about that,'" said Judy Sulier, an optician at Pinnacle Eye Group in Bedford Township, Ohio. "I was going to go online to pull it up and see what... (zzzzzzzzz... What? Oh... sorry Ed.)
Palin, the governor of Alaska, wears customized glasses and frames from Japanese designer Kazuo Kawasaki.
The high-end eyewear -- the prices start at $600 -- are frameless and allow the customer to choose from a nearly limitless variety of lens shapes.
Shop owner Georgeann Kohn in Toledo, Ohio, said she had received "just a couple inquiries" from... What what whaaaaaa? Back up a second there...
Start at $600? More than John Edwards's haircut? More than John McCain's phokking Salvatore Ferragamo 'Pregiato' Phokking Moccasins for phokk's sake? That's hockey mom folksy? My phokking @SS.

Though I'd have a hard time buying $600 glasses, I think that's a far better value than a $400 haircut. You can wear those glasses for years. A $400 haircut is only worth it if it gets you the Presidency, or some really cushy corporate gig. Besides, hockey mums want to look good too. Before getting the black eye in the fight with the other hockey mum. You know, they need a good picture for the papers.
I'm sure Wal-Mart sells some fine, affordable, handsome imported eyewear.
Why can't a small-town woman spend some of her hard-earned money on something nice without you people jumping down her throat?!
