    VP Biden's RayBans

    Biden's first instagram. RayBan Lg. Metal in the foreground. Biden in the background.

    http://www.today.com/news/vp-check-a...but-2D79536243

    "The inaugural photo posted from Biden's Instagram account @vp features a hip pair of aviator shades resting on his desk in the executive office, while he sits in the blurred background looking at documents.
    “Vice President Biden's getting ready to head to Pennsylvania with President Obama this afternoon, where he'll lay out steps we can take to train America's workers with the skills they need for good middle-class jobs,”

    I could be mistaken, but aren't RayBan's now made in Italy?

    He's worn aviators for years, Ray Bans and not. Let's face it, Biden doesn't exactly stand for fashion forward. The shape suits him though, so to each his own.

    ETA: Kate's wearing them too on their New Zealand/Australia tour. http://www.vanityfair.com/online/dai...and-yacht-race

    Well lets be honest here, putting all political views aside, this is going to cause resurgence of Aviators and Ray-Ban aviators at that.

    Off-topic political post removed.

    Let's keep politics out of this. We have enough of that everywhere else.

    First was Ray-Ban, Coach, eyeglasses.com, then licensing with Google glasses, Now Joe Biden, is anyone safe.
