6. I expect nothing less from this phony baloney...

If it's dysfunctional, or an outright lie, she owns it.

Subtle difference.

8. To my thinking, it backfires on her. They are an integral part of her personna

Let us consider these following 2 points: That she is undeniably an imbecile has been categorically proven by her actions and words. Her glasses are a well known part of her appearance, almost an identifying tag really.

Ergo, the glasses are a badge of stupidity in her case.

to keep her ears apart. Something like a spacer.

14. Hmm, for some reason the term "lipstick on a pig" comes to mind.

Can't imagine where I heard that. ;-)

15. Well I was going to say you can dress a pig in a tux, but it only angers you

and makes the pig very annoyed, but when all is said and done its still a pig.

17. Why would Sarah think she needs a prop to make her look smarter?

Or is the stupidity really that glaring even to her?

25. I thought she wore reading glasses.

She's at the age when most people need readers (myself included.)

30. Wearing a cap & gown with an owl perched on her shoulder would not make her look smart.

32. I think she wears them because she needs them.

She tends to be wall-eyed at times which points to astigmatism that often goes hand in hand with near-sightedness. Now I'm not diagnosing her because I haven't seen her eye exam results, but I think she does need glasses for distance.

36. It could.

However, not everyone is a candidate for lasik. She may not want to do it either because there are drawbacks.

37. Ah...OP said she had the lasik but continues to wear glasses cosmetically

That's the gist, that she doesn't need them anymore but wears them anyhow. In any case, 5 pair of glasses wouldn't make her look smart :)

38. Hehe!

I guess I should have read the whole OP. My bad. Nothing makes her look smart. That's for sure, unless someone puts duct tape across her mouth.
