Americans are Turned on by Eyeglasses
In 1953, “How to Marry a Millionaire” debuted in the theaters with a gorgeous Marilyn Monroe wearing eyeglasses. Her character, Pola Debevoise, preferred bruises and walking into walls than wearing her frames - thus making eyeglasses seem nerdy and un-hip. In the 1970’s Elton John seemed to make eyeglasses cool again but mostly for those who like outlandish, loud, bedazzled eyeglass frames. Elvis Costello is credited for bringing sexy back to eyeglasses in the 1980’s for artsy-hipster men. LisaLoeb did her share for making cat eye frames look hot on the girl-next-door but it wasn’t until Tina Fey sat atop her perch every Saturday night that Americans started to notice how hot a woman can look in eyeglasses!
So, what else turns on Americans about glasses? A recent study done by Essilor of America asked more than 3,000 men and women about their perception of eyeglasses and eye wear. Their survey reveals a lot about where Americans stand on eyeglasses. The survey covers everything from eyeglasses in the fashion industry to those hot looking, eyeglass-wearing celebrities we love to emulate!
Ooops, she did it again… Britney Spears topped the list of sexiest spectacle-wearing celebrities among men surveyed by a whopping 44 percent! The women chose well - RichardGere took the number one spot with 35 percent proving that mature men can still rock eyeglasses far better than their younger counterparts.
