Sarah Palin's Kazuo Eyeglasses A Big Hit
By Robert Paul Reyes
Sarah Palin is not your father's vice-presidential candidate. Palin is young, beautiful, charming and stylish; she graces more magazine covers than most celebrities.
With her hair piled higher than a volcano and her rimless glasses she has the naughty librarian look down pat. Fortunately, her fans haven't copied her beehive do, that would have been a national catastrophe.
But thousands of women are trying to get their hands on Sarah Palin's eyeglasses.
"Style conscious voters in the US are racing to get their hands on a pair of Sarah Palin's signature rimless glasses.
Opticians in the States have seen an influx in demand for Palin's specs, which she wore during her convention speech last week.
The $375 frames are by Japanese designer Kazuo Kawasaki, and are made from titanium. They are from a collection entitled the 704 series, and her specific style is the 34 grey."

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those orders were placed by call girls. Some customers pay more to have an escort dress like a nurse or a maid. I'm sure there are some freak-a-leeks who want a working girl decked out like Sarah Palin.
I don't mind if some women feel a need to look like Sarah Palin, frankly I find her look extremely sexy. I just hope they don't copy Palin's reactionary rightwing ideology.
