Whether you love her or hate her, Sarah Palin has great taste in eyewear. On September 3rd 2008, Palin caused a fashion uproar with the Kawasaki frames she wore during her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. We know now that the nomination amounted to little more than a media free-for-all, but the frame phenomenon lives on. To this day, rimless frames are causally referred to as “Palin glasses”. All of us working in optics remember the Palin craze of ’08….and every time she does a public appearance we will inevitably be asked if we “carry those glasses that Sarah Palin wears, can you get them?” UUUGGGHHHH!
