Best Glasses On The Tube
Elizabeth Alex, KSHB Channel 41
When Marilyn Monroe donned spectacles in How to Marry a Millionaire, it wasn't like she suddenly became a bow-wow. While walking into walls, she also walked right into the collective heterosexual male libido. Today, glasses have become yesterday's halter tops -- they signify a blend of sexy and smart. That's what we've been thinking about KSHB Channel 41 anchor Elizabeth Alex, who combines in one seen-from-the-shoulders-up package a clean blow-dry job and a wry wit. She isn't creepily schizophrenic when shifting from a homicide to a hoedown. She's the Bible Belt's Ashleigh Banfield, but twice as grounded.
