Sammy Hagar, The Red Rocker – a rock and roll icon!

Why?

1) He made it to the mainstream as the frontman for one of the biggest American rock bands ever – Van Halen.
2) After over a decade of that, he continues to rock Sans-Halen with his solo band The Waboritas and with his band Chickenfoot.
3) He founded one of the most popular nightclubs / restaurants – Cabo Wabo Cantinas – a favorite spot in Cabo San Lucas, Lake Tahoe, and Las Vegas!
4) He gets you tipsy with his brand of premium tequila – Cabo Wabo Tequila.
5) And finally … he gets styled in his eyewear at SF Optics!

That’s right Red Rocker fans! Sammy Hagar just stopped in and got styled in four new pairs of shades!

If you want to be a Red Rocker, here’s the exclusive low down on Sammy Hagar’s sunglasses:

Sammy Hagar got styled in Salt sunglasses, model Stuart, color Shiny Walnut. The Salt sunglasses are stylish and have great polarized sun lenses. They are great for the beach and other activities when it’s really bright since the polarized lenses cut out a lot of the glare.


Sammy Hagar got styled in Barton Perreira sunglasses, model Altair, color Silver with Eden lenses. The Barton Perreira sunglasses are chic with a trendy modified aviator shape. They are great when you just need a cool pair of sunnies to hang out on the strip and eat some lunch, hit the cafe, or go shopping … or when you’re drinking tequila at Cabo Wabo!


Sammy Hagar got styled in Robert Marc sunglasses, model 743, color 267. The Robert Marc sunglasses are trendy yet elegent. The gradient lenses make them perfect for that not so sunny day. Even when the sun is not bright, you must protect your eyes from the UV, and these lenses are perfect for that!


Sammy Hagar got styled in Persol sunglasses, model 2961s, color 811/31. The Persol sunglasses are a great piece to fill the plastic void. Sammy Hagar obviously appreciates the art of accessorizing, and with the other three sunglasses being metal, the fourth had to be plastic to come full circle. These Persols are a great classic shape and the blonde tortoise rocks with Sammy’s hair!

Many of you are excited about the premiere of Sex and the City 2 so you can follow the next chapter in the lives of your favorite city girl fashionistas Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, Charlotte York and Samantha Jones. Well, while these girls know their Sex, we know our Specs, so let us give you the low down.

Everyone has seen the poster sunglasses of this movie – Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, wearing Gold Flash Aviators by MYKITA. These frames are hand made in Germany from a flat metal material and are a limited edition piece from this exclusive brand. A high end frame for a high end girl….



The other eyewear brand that dominates Sex and the City 2 is Jee Vice. They have some funky glamorous styles shown off by the girls as recently seen in In Touch Magazine. But we’ll take it a step further….

In the snapshot below from In Touch, you can see Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) wearing Jee Vice sunglasses and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) also wearing a pair of Jee Vice sunglasses. But what you won’t see until you watch the movie are the Jee Vice sunglasses worn by Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon). In one of the Morocco desert scenes, she wears a pair of sunglasses by Jee Vice (pictured below) but the paparazzi never got a shot of it.

Glasses Worthy of a Rockefeller

Tonight, the long awaited Lifetime premiere of “Who is Clark Rockefeller?” starring Eric McCormack as Clark Rockefeller and Sherry Stringfield as his wife and successful business consultant Sandra Boss, aired. But the true star of the movie are the large black thick rimmed plastic glasses worn by Clark Rockefeller.

For those that don’t recall this true story which not too long ago was the big news in the headlines, Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, a German man who immigrated to the United States in 1979, used many different aliases over the years, Clark Rockefeller being his most recent. For many years, he kept himself in the circle of high society posing as an heir to the Rockefeller name, during which time he married Sandra Boss and had a child with her. During their recent divorce, he kidnapped his daughter, and the truth about his identity came out. He kept up the longest running con known, but now is in prison for the kidnapping, and is under suspicion for a double homicide from the past when he was living under one of his other aliases.

This whole story makes his choice of glasses that much more interesting. The ‘geek chic’ look that he took on with his frames is quite similar to the look of Clark Kent – Superman’s secret identity. And interestingly enough, the name that Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter made up to go along with the famous surname Rockefeller just so happened to be Clark. Was this his way of associating himself with Clark Kent, a master of multiple identities?

Regardless, the geek chic look is definitely one of the biggest fashion trends right now, and Clark Rockefeller found a great use for the Ray-Ban Wayfarer aside from being a sunglass. Pop out those sun lenses and put in a pair of clear lenses, and now your Wayfarer is the ultimate ‘geek chic’ frame. Whether you want to be a hero disguised as a nerd, or a con man disguised as high society wealth, the Ray-Ban Wayfarer can give you that look.

You can purchase the Ray-Ban Wayfarer here.
