Ok here’s the photo. It’s Senator Susan Collins and she’s wearing a really slick pair of frames. I know it’s kind of obscure but that’s our métier, isn’t it? [![](https://bdn-data.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2019/07/12190161_H24884644-720x445.jpg) ](https://bdn-data.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2019/07/12190161_H24884644-720x445.jpg) It’s from this article here - > **[Susan Collins’ disapproval rating spikes in new poll ahead of targeted 2020...](https://www.bangordailynews.com/2019/07/18/politics/susan-collins-disapproval-rating-spikes-in-new-poll-ahead-of-targeted-2020-re-election-bid/)** > > The Kavanaugh vote has seemingly led Collins to lose Democrats, while winning back Republicans who saw her as not conservative enough. but I don’t care about the article for the purposes of this thread. Thanks in advance for any ideas! ---

Not to be snarky, but she seems the sort of person nice enough to answer an email, so send her one and ask her. ---

Or take that photo to a big optician/eyeglass shop and ask them. ---

They look exactly like my readers. Except mine are reddish. Sorry I don’t know the name. If I could find my spare pair I could read the tiny writing on the frame ear piece. I think they are quite a popular frame. ---

^^so I got brilliant for 3 minutes. I took a pic of the earpiece with writing on it. I could enlarge the pix, but it only says the color is ‘red/grey’. Sorry:(
