Michael Jackson passed away at the age of 50 and everyone is talking about it. I was reminiscing and flipping through pictures of him online today when I realized that Michael’s sunglasses, which were a huge part of his overall look and style, were trendsetters. He started the aviator craze in the 80′s!
Over the years, Michael was rarely seen in public without his sunglasses. For a few years, he seemed to branch out away from the aviator style, but he always came back to them in the end. I found a great group of pictures showing MJ’s sunwear, included for your viewing pleasure.
Do You Know Ms. SO 103?

So in case you don’t know who we are, Altair is VSP’s very own eyewear division. We have been in existence for 15 years and we are in the business of designing, producing, distributing, marketing and selling frames to VSP doctors! We’ll revisit the multitude of reasons why VSP doctors should use Altair frames at another time-I promise.
I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce you to someone very near and dear to us at Altair. She is constantly at the front of our minds and the tips of our tongues, and she holds a very special place in all of our hearts. I got to thinking about her today while talking with an office new to the Altair program. They asked me what ONE item was an essential for their office, and I immediately dropped her name.
Want to know who I’m talking about? Well….I’d like you to meet Sigrid Olsen 103 in Café Mint…and around here, she’s a bona-fide rock star! This frame has outsold every single frame in our company by a 3 to 1 margin. She is a guaranteed best-seller for every office that carries her and since her introduction, she has been the star of the show around here!
So now that you’re “in the know” about who the real rock star is around our building, keep your eyes peeled for a sighting of Ms. SO 103…she’s out there!
