With these glasses, she can see Russia from her house
Perhaps nothing says “Sarah Palin” — or is it “Tina Fey?” — more than her fashionable eyeglasses. Now the distinctive eyewear introduced to the world by the GOP’s vice presidential candidate are on sale in Oklahoma City.
Associated Optometrists of Oklahoma sent out a news release Wednesday touting the glasses and claiming to be the first Oklahoma City area optometric practice to carry the Palin frames.
I can’t vouch for that claim, but I do know that the designer frames, designed by Japanese designer Kazuo Kawasaki, are not cheap. While Associated Optometrists did not list the retail price of the famous frames, a recent story in USA Today said they start at a suggested retail price of $375 — minus the lenses, of course.
They were listed on one Web site Wednesday at a bargain-basement price of $335.
That’s still about $275 more than I paid for my stylish Buddy Holly retro frames.
