Fashion companies have discovered a lucrative new marketing vehicle: Sarah Palin.
Since John McCain chose her last month as his running mate, Gov. Palin's personal style has sparked a buying frenzy. Many women are snapping up her choices of shoes and eyeglasses and blogging about which brand of lipstick she wears. Hairstylists and wig sellers report sudden demand for her trademark up-dos. Indeed, the brands behind Gov. Palin's fashion taste have gone into overdrive seeking to cash in on the association.
On Wednesday, WigSalon.com issued a news release boasting that it has wigs and hair pieces "that reflect the new looks made popular by Sarah Palin," along with style tips to "instantly" achieve the swept-back style.

For a while, Obama appears to become a powerful cultural and political symbol. Not any more. Zero has been thoroughly eclipsed. Even McCain must have been surprised to find how his VP choice turned out. Besides, they have no ace in the hole on policy front.
Zero has really zero.
That sooo coolll hey Tiger she is new IT GIRL move over Magic Barry here come Sarah
What is her favorite rifle? I want one of those. ; )
Yep. We’re dudes. We want to know what hunting rifle Todd Palin shoots moose with and what kind of caliber his shotguns are geared for.
The nice part is that there are lots of people whose imaginations have been captured by this new celebrity who might take the time to actually become interested in and learn something about conservatism.
Interesting that Sarah’s fashionable style has generated interest.
Can you imagine anyone ever wanting to imitate Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits???????
Barry has been screwed and he didn’t even get the opportunity to enjoy it.
I think Todd Palin seems like a great guy. He’s a lucky man having Sarah as a wife.
Anyone ever envy Bill Clinton that he had Hillary?
“Anyone ever envy Bill Clinton that he had Hillary?”
****
Satan?

Web Hubbell, far as we know.
Oh yeah? Well since Whoopi is popular again I’m going to get my wife some small glasses and a dreadlock-wig! :-)
I’m going to make MILLIONS!
“Can you imagine anyone ever wanting to imitate Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits???????”
Interesting ... Hillary! was First Lady for 8 years and has now been US Senator for 8 years. Has anyone ever seen her in a dress or skirt. She wore long gowns for the Inaugural Balls. Did she wear pantsuits to the swearing in ceremonies ?
Can you imagine anyone ever wanting to imitate Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits???????
That would require a wave of silicon butt implants!
“Joy Behar, the dried up old prune of The View, said Palin’s eyeglasses were a “prop”. She said Mrs. Palin should get contacts”
Speaking of props,Joy Behar is better through beer goggles.
I presume that is available in polyester????
Joy is an idiot. First of all, there are pics of Sarah as a kid wearing glasses.
Maybe she likes wearing glasses?
Joy should sit down and be quiet.
Those must be some powerful goggles.
