Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley Gives a Shout Out to Celebrities Who Rock Glasses!

It is fascinating how what was once unfashionable may eventually become very fashionable.

Here is an experiment: rent from Netflix a movie from the early 1950s titled “How to Marry a Millionaire,” featuring Marilyn Monroe as a young lady who is so paranoid about wearing the glasses she so desperately needs , that she is forever walking into walls or bumping into things when she is out in public. Today, that movie (not to mention that attitude) is SO dated.

Hollywood keeps tabs on the pulse of what is hip and cool in style and fashion, and their neighbors in Northern California are among the first to learn about them. The professional staff of Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley marvels at how the wearing of eyeglasses is now a status symbol of cool. Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, and even California’s own Angelina Jolie are frequently seen sporting eyeglasses in public. (Did we mention that Marilyn was born in Los Angeles?) In fact, being seen in elegant eyewear has become so stylin’, rumor has it that some of these stars wear glasses – whether they need them or not! Hey, you heard it from the reliable eyewear place that is Site for Sore Eyes.

You don’t need to be a celebrity to wear eyeglasses. This little article is only to let you know that the times have changed. If you need glasses but have been avoiding them, lighten up. Stop in to Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley, where we will make you feel not only comfortable, but cool-looking in your new eyewear.

In closing, Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley would like to give a shout out to the memory of trail-blazing, eyeglasses-wearing rock legend Buddy Holly. For those who don’t know of him, Buddy was a young rock singer who wore thick-rimmed glasses on and off stage. Who knows, maybe he thought this look would distinguish him? Whatever the reason, it worked! One of his hits was titled “That’ll Be the Day.” Well, Buddy, as far as eyeglasses are concerned, that day has arrived!
