 NOOOO there's No Media Bias...
Will Gov. Sarah Palin's glasses start an eyewear trend? | The Dish Rag | Los Angeles Times Quote:
LOS ANGELES TIMES September 4, 2008
"The Alaska governor and Republican nominee for vice president has been in the limelight for only a few days. But, according to USA Today, she's already starting an eyewear trend.
She recently updated her eyewear and had new lightweight, titanium, rimless rectangular frames made for her by Home Optics, a retailer in Chugiak, Alaska.
The frames are designed by Kazuo Kawasaki, from the 704 series, in 34 gray. They start at $375 but can hit $700, depending on the lenses.
Home Optics owner Joy Leedham went to Palin's home in late December and fitted her in her kitchen. The governor had around 300 frames to consider and narrowed it down to five.
Her family helped pick the final style. The frames Palin picked "help her look fashion-forward," Leedham told USA Today.
The U.S. distributor of Kawasaki frames told USA Today that calls are already coming in from dealers who want to stock the exact shape and style Palin's wearing.
Let's hope pregnant teenage daughters aren't the next big craze Sarah inspires."
