Hope to see you around. Did you see Gov Sarah tonight?
Sarah Palin’s Red Shoes: Sergio Rossi
By Chris Mohney, October 03, 2008For last night's vice presidential debate, Sarah Palin stuck to the style script by way of her trademark red shoes. Famous for inspiring a buying frenzy of the Naughty Monkey heels she wore when first introduced as the GOP VP nominee, Palin's footwear last night veered in a more classic direction. Since I know naught of shoery, two of two better-informed BlackBook staffers polled agreed that Palin's shoes are from Sergio Rossi. Doesn't look like they're this season's collection, but what do you want ... Palin's not some kind of Michelle Obama fashion plate.
In fact, her footwear has been garnering attention from her first day on the national scene when Senator Mccain surprised everyone by introducing her as his VP candidate, as in this blub from the Shoe Minx at High.Heels.com
Sarah Palin and the Red shoes
Politics aside — everyone agrees Sarah Palin has great taste in shoes!
All about the Internet the buzz is about her shoes.
Many of the shoeblogs are identifying these acceptance shoes as Apepazza Musa or Naughty Monkey. There seems to be a controversy and not in the political arena?
Are these Apepazza Musa or Naughty Monkey?
Just so you shoe lovers will know the facts:
We sold our Governor a pair of red Double Dare Naughty Monkey shoes a couple of weeks ago. She just wore those shoes as John McCain announced Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska as his vice president running mate. Although not everyone agrees with her politics, everyone can agree that she wears “sexy shoes.”Sydney Mitchell

Commentary: Palin's subtle attire speaks volumes
By ROBIN GIVHAN Washington Post, Oct. 1, 2008, 5:21PM-snip-
Her clothes are unpretentious, but they are also unremarkable. They have nothing to do with fashion. It's fashion show season now, with designers unveiling their spring 2009 collections in New York, Milan and Paris. So far, none of them have suggested that the next new thing for the power-wielding woman is a straight black skirt with a boxy, oyster-colored blazer, which is what Palin wore when she accepted the vice-presidential nomination in St. Paul, Minn.
In the narrow confines of political style, the accepted rule is to dress in a manner that implies empathy for one's constituency — so don't wear anything too expensive — but also conveys authority. Palin has embraced the former and utterly ignored the latter. Nothing about her style jibes with the image of power. She does not dress like a boss lady, an Iron Lady or the devil who wore Prada.
Her clothes don't have the aura of sophistication like that of Michelle Obama's sheaths and pearls. They do not have a patina of glamour like Cindy McCain's heiress wardrobe. And they do not announce themselves with the confidence, assertiveness and listen-to-me-ness of Sen. Hillary Clinton's bold pantsuits. Palin's clothes are common. Everyone knows someone who dresses like her, which is partly why so many folks seem to think that they know her.
Palin likes to wear a super-size Old Glory brooch that shouts with as much patriotic bravado as one of those monster flags that wave from a car dealership. Her flag was on display during a campaign stop in Grand Rapids, Mich. And for the record, it has no kin among the statement jewelry currently being championed on the runway.
The ruby slippers she wore on the campaign trail, the ones she paired with the black jacket and skirt that pulled just so across her hips, churn up images of another small-town girl who'd suddenly landed in Oz. A peep-toe pump is coy — coquettish even. But not an emblem of gravitas.
Despite what every optometrist with a publicity agent has to say, there is nothing remotely striking about her eyeglasses. It's only notable in an age of contact lenses and Lasik surgery that anyone in the public spotlight regularly wears them at all — except, perhaps, when they're trying to make a point, such as when television interviewers keep a pair of reading glasses perched on the tip of their nose in a way that makes them look like professors skeptical of a student's ability to withstand their Socratic interrogation.
Palin is the girl next door. And yes, much about her attire emphasizes youthfulness, most distinctly her hair.
The hair, which has been highlighted, teased and scrunched, is a standard-issue, mommy-is-in-a-rush style. Since motherhood has been laid out by her campaign like one of the pillars of national service, the mop-top hairdo is practically a battle scar.
Executive women tend to avoid wearing their hair in ponytails or looking like they have it tacked to the top of their head with a chip clip. Like a good female news anchor, they get themselves a haircut that falls no further than the shoulders, is feminine and easy to maintain. They do not want to be wind-blown and tousled when they walk into a boardroom. Hair shouldn't be a distraction.
Palin doesn't have Maria Menounos's Pantene hair. But it is chestnut brown and long and is the antithesis of what most women do with it as they come into their own.
Palin has been referred to as America's hottest governor by sources as varied as Alaska Magazine and button-wearing Republican conventioneers. But Palin's power isn't in her physical looks as much as in the packaging.
Palin seems to dress for pretty rather than powerful. She is willing to be sexual, with the occasional fitted jacket and high heels. She wears dangly earrings.
She talks tough. She doesn't blink. She speaks of "guys and gals." What is a gal? One thinks of a waitress in a bar who knows that if she pretends she doesn't notice when a guy's ogling her legs and gives as good as she gets when it comes to off-color jokes, life will go along more smoothly. She's not one of the guys, but she doesn't confront them with either a lawyer or rhetoric from a women's studies seminar.
Palin's style serves as evidence that a woman can step onto the national political stage without having to manipulate her wardrobe into some torturous costume calibrated to make her look authoritative but not threatening, feminine but not sexy. Palin proves that a woman can wear red patent-leather shoes and still take questions on foreign policy and the economy.
The test is whether this particular gal knows the answers.
Oh, BTW, did I mention that Robin Givhan is also dog-b*## uuuuggggly? or that she was the first one to trash Katherine Harris back in 2000?
...
Well....seems this presstitute is sexist ! Anyone have her article on the Hildebeast’s ole crusty pantsuit ?
<<<<<<<<< crickets >>>>>>>>>>
Nope, but I’m guessing I could tell you what it did or might have said.
LOL !!
Stay Safe Darlin’
True. One only has to watch a minute or two of the debate with the sound off to see that both Biden and Palin knew that he was being expertly drawn and quartered. She was magnificent.
Justdamn! What is the adorable Ms. Givhan wearing in that first photo, one of those black, heavy duty lawn and garden trash bags?
I think its called being, "field dressed" in Alaska. LOL
I’m thinkin’ Mzzzzzz Givhan might benefit greatly from some of those charming, Joe Biden Hair Plugs. LOL
Well, there were those “Official bootleg” albums and such out there.
Which makes zero sense.
although he was anything but dressed by the time she finished with him. More like stripped bare ....
Yes and yes.
Heavens! Now, that was high-voltage TV LOL
Click HERE for video replays in varying lengths of that ... interview, dressing down ... whatever. LOL
“Oh and by the way..did they tell us she is black?”
FOFLOL. OMG, ceegee, thats hilarious. Wish I’d said that!
