Too Cool for Glasses?

We just found out that my 11-year-old daughter needs glasses, and she's sure that no "cool" people wear glasses. Do you know of any celebrities or people she might think are cool who wear them?
- Karly

Lots of stars wear eyeglasses - many just because they think they look cool! They don't actually need them to see better. Britney Spears, Courteney Cox Arquette, Jennifer Aniston, and Julia Roberts have all been spotted around town wearing fashion glasses. If these high-profile celebrities care enough to buy fake glasses, maybe other people will feel better about the ones they need to wear to see better.
