What could be one of the coolest things to happen when you have pride for our country, love the San Francisco Giants, and are a Sammy Hagar fan?
Recently, Sammy Hagar, the Red Rocker and former front man for Van Halen, performed the Star Spangled Banner, our National Anthem, for the very first time ever, and it was for the opening game and ring ceremony for the San Francisco Giants in front of 60,000 fans. And to top it off, of all the sunglasses Sammy could have chosen to wear to this special event, we were honored that he wore the Barton Perreira Altair sunglasses that SF Optics styled him into! (You can see the original blog about that here).
Check out the Red Rocker’s performance.
Even further, Sammy Hagar was spotted while on his book tour for his #1 New York Times Bestseller “Red“ with his wife, and both of them were wearing Alexander Daas sunglasses styled by SF Optics.
We love Sammy’s rock (and Cabo Wabo tequila), and are glad he loves our shades!
Check out the behind the scenes video of the new Barton Perreira 2011 campaign photo shoot. Actor Giovanni Ribisi continues to be the face of Barton Perreira eyewear, and this time is joined by LA based model Rachele. With a back drop of the Los Angeles skyline, these two goof around and have fun bringing the designs by eyewear designer Patty Perreira to life. The video features the song ‘Get Some’ by Lykke Li which ads just the right energy to create a unique sex appeal.
Giovanni Ribisi is a Hollywood actor known for many movies such as Gone in 60 Seconds, Boiler Room, Saving Private Ryan, The Mod Squad, The Gift, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Lost in Translation, Public Enemies and Avatar. He is also known for his role as Phoebe Buffay’s brother Frank on the sitcom Friends.
Barton Perreira is an eyewear collection based out of Los Angeles and designed by eyewear designer Patty Perreira, who previously was a designer for Oliver Peoples for 17 years. A celebrity favorite, Barton Perreira sunglasses and eyeglasses have been worn by Angelina Jolie, Jeremy Piven, Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Kate Beckinsale, Snoop Dogg, and more.
TweetThe San Francisco Giants won the 2010 World Series for the first time in the Giants’ 52 year San Francisco history. Today they had their victory parade down Market St. to City Hall where Mayor Gavin Newsom officially handed over the key to the city and county of San Francisco to Giants managing general partner Bill Neukom. Newsom also declared today “San Francisco Giants Day” in the city. The Victory Parade drew crowds of hundreds of thousands of people, many of which camped out all night to get their spot!
At this very special occasion, SF Giants outfielder Pat Burrell a.k.a. Pat the Bat was celebrating in the Barton Perreira Altair sunglasses SF Optics styled him in yesterday! Arriving back straight from Game 5 in Texas, Pat made sure to stop in and get his eyes protected from the UV rays at the sunny Victory Parade.

Pat Burrell is one stylish baseball champion! In fact, just two weeks ago, we also styled him into SALT. Dafoe sunglasses! What can we say – the man has taste!
To recap the last few days, the San Francisco Giants won the World Series and San Francisco has been electric since.
World Series Game 5: After Tim Lincecum a.k.a. “The Freak” and “The Franchise” pitched an amazing 8 innings, Brian Wilson made the Texas Rangers Fear the Beard with a beautiful close in the 9th. Edgar Renteria was the MVP for his three-run homer that finally put some runs on the board. With the SF Giants win in Game 5, they became the new World Series Champions for 2010 with a 4-1 win over the Texas Rangers by method of TORTURE!
Fans crowded the streets of San Francisco to celebrate the win. Thousands of fans celebrated in front of San Francsico Optics on Chestnut St. The television news station cameras were out to capture the insanity and SF Optics cameras did as well. Check out our short 1 minute video clip that shows just how much mayhem was on the street – and the street was packed like that for hours.

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!
Paris Hilton has been spotted wearing sunglasses by Barton Perreira. And although these frames are the Harlequin, Paris Hilton doesn’t look like a clown behind these shades!
Barton Perreira is available at SF Optics.
