One of the most popular Halloween costumes this past Halloween was the Governor Sarah Palin costume. I would think that it was popular with Republicans who admire her and Democrats who find her quite frightening. Then there is the sexy Sarah that is more about her sex appeal as a woman than her attributes or lack thereof in the intelligence arena. Maybe you saw one of these Sarah's at a Halloween party; maybe you were Sarah Palin!

Whatever the case, the Sarah Palin eyeglasses have had an impact on fashion. Just as Sally Jesse Raphael made an impact with her oversized red rimmed glasses back in the late 1980's, Sarah is having a similar impact today. In the highly popular Saturday Night Live skits that poke fun at Governor Palin, the eyewear and upswept hair are two of the most important factors that makes Tina Fey's parody work.

Whether you are a fan of the governor or not, her impact on eyewear fashion will be influencing people for years. So, if you want to sport the Sarah Palin look, check out Zenni Optical for some $8 options. It isn't cheap, its fiscally conservative! Now I hope this has brought an amused smile to your face; now, is that hair upswept yet?
