The glasses shown in the article are our very own Rhea brand, model: Qumeishi NS200 as shown here, which just so happens to be one of our most popular budget frames.
These glasses are available in 4 colour options: Red, Transparent with Black Arms, Black/Blue and Black.
Our prices include Standard Thin and Light Lenses with Anti Reflection Coating, UV Protection, and Scratch Resistant Lenses completely FREE, so grab yourself a beauty bargain today.
If you see SelectSpecs mentioned anywhere in the press (newspapers, magazines, radio or television), then please let us know. You can comment on this blog or e-mail us. It’s always nice to know when people have nice things to say about you and unfortunately we are just a bit too busy to read all these magazines or watch daytime TV ourselves.

Whatever your opinions are of Sarah Palin, there’s no denying the fact that she has been grabbing the lion’s share of the headlines during the 2008 Presidential Election campaign. Republican US presidential candidate John McCain’s chosen running mate seems to have gained more attention than the man himself.
While Barack Obama appears to be easing ahead in the polls, its almost as if Sarah Palin is the new Britney Spears or Paris Hilton of Internet search terms. “Sarah Palin” is No. 1 on the list of mostly widely used political search terms, with about 1 in every 500 web searches containing her name. Although research by Hitwise suggests that popular searches include terms such as “Sarah Palin Vogue”, “Sarah Palin sexy photos”, “Sarah Palin bikini” and “Sarah Palin Nude”! (Make of that what you will…) (See the top 100 search terms here). Needless to say, even Hustler appears to be cashing in on her popularity by shooting a Sarah Palin themed porn film.
On a serious note, Sarah Palin has apparently even influenced some of our own customers into certain fashion purchasing decisions. At SelectSpecs.com we have seen an increase in popularity in glasses and frames that are similar in style to those worn by the attractive vice-presidential nominee hockey mom.
We therefore decided to have a glance over our extensive range and pick out a selection of glasses/frames that we consider to be potential “Sarah Palin look-a-like” glasses and list them here for your viewing pleasure. Surprisingly there are quite a few more on our site that we couldn’t list here, so feel free to have a browse.
Rodenstock Prescription Glasses: R4722-S1
Hush Prescription Glasses, XiFlex W05, Sarah Palin look-a-likes

Feel free to take a look around our new site and use our new search functionality. Maybe you can find something even better.

We would just like to take a moment out of our busy day here at the SelectSpecs offices to wish Team GB the best of luck at this year’s Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. Everyone agrees that Friday’s Opening Ceremony was quite spectacular. It’s hard to imagine how the Chinese managed to choreograph so many performers all at once or 2008 drummers. Somehow I don’t see London being able to achieve the same level of brilliance in 2012, that’s if we even get the facilities built in time. London certainly has a challenge on its hand to keep up with the incredible facilities in Beijing.
Anyway, once again, good luck to all our competitors and lets all hope for a great Olympic Games all around.
