Palin Fashion Show: This shit cost $150K?!?!?!?!?!? (Picture heavy)

[Hepburn]

Shit, I could have done the above on a hell of a lot less than $150K...how about you???

[bookman]

The Thriller Jacket...

... cost big bucks on Ebay.

[alcibiades_mystery]

1. In fashion, one day you are in, and the next day you are AUS

Sarah Palin.

You're AUS.

:rofl:



Auf wiederseh'n.

[chelsea0011]

2. I can't believe Olympia Snowe would stand next to her

[geekgrrl]

112. I know-- as a Mainer who likes Snowe, that bugs me. nt

[evlbstrd]

3. Cankles?

[Hepburn]

4. Big time....

...Mooselini has cankles! :hi:

[grace0418]

28. Holy shit. I can't stand the woman but if those are cankles, I'm in big trouble.

Guess I'll be wearing pants for the rest of my life.

[vaberella]

49. They're not literal cankles. Kitten heels just make 'normal' ankles look massive.

It's why those sort of shoes should be worn by women with really skinny ankles. Or if you wear kitten heels cover up your ankle.

[Hepburn]

66. Agree...

...ONLY by gals ~~ or guys ~~ with VERY thin ankles.

Count me out! :hi:

[DevonRex]

67. From the front they're not bad. But from the side, they're pretty cankly.

I notice this stuff, because thank God I still have great legs. Matter of fact, I prefer pictures of me to be taken from the waist down. :)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

47. I detest Palin but I have to mention that no matter what you do, this is genetic and

can't be corrected. It's like making fun of any feature that someone were born with, including men with small......

[grace0418]

69. Exactly. Make fun of her ridiculous Thriller jacket all you want, but making fun

of a physical feature you can't change is just playground mean.

[Hepburn]

70. I have HORRIBLE ankles....

...but I know better than to wear those kinds of shoes and skirts that make my ankles look more "cankly." Thank gawd, I have VERY long legs and even at age 60 they are great except for the cankles. Very short skirts, dark colored, matching very high heels and same color nylons. Other than that? Pantsuits!

:hi:

[redqueen]

87. You and others who focus on that stuff probably think my ankles look cankly.

I wear kitten heels anyway, cause I don't give a crap.

:hi:

[chatnoir]

116. Seems to be + over-small feet

Or maybe it's the canks making the feet look too small? :shrug:

She's got stumpy, rather shapeless legs for a runner.

[Jennicut]

5. Her wardobe is not bad, I like her boots but to spend $150,000 on it????

I could find similar looks for $2,000.

[Hepburn]

6. Yep....

...I sure as hell would have a lot more to show it I went on a $150K spending spree.

[sunder]

13. I like the boots too...

although they don't strike me as very Vice Presidential.

[Arkansas Granny]

41. Maybe she went shoe shopping with Condi.

[Clio the Leo]

7. I am going to be fair.....

I like #1, 4, 5 and the red shoes.

But totally agree on the Thriller Jacket.

"It's close to midnight and something evil's lurkin' in the dark....."

[Ilsa]

36. The first suit looks almost like a dinner suit, but I like it,, and I like red.

I don't care for the leather jacket, but her wardrobe is very nice. I think they did a good job on it. I bet we could get most of it as knock-offs for alot less than $150,000.

[vaberella]

8. I love suit no.1. I hate the "beat it" Jacket & the kitten heels.

Kitten heels make all women's ankles look big, that's why you have to have extra skinny ankles to wear them and look "normal". I'm not feeling the debate suit, way too funeral, but her shoes for that night were cute. I sort of have a love hate relationship with the pink and gray gear.

However, you can get all of that at The Basement for 1/8th of the price she paid.

[Jennicut]

16. It is Michael Jackson-esque, is it not?

[vaberella]

35. Very much so...I'd call it really crappy pleather but she did pay

6 digits for her gear, so I get the feeling it was a bit more than that.

[terrya]

9. The late Mr. Blackwell would have had a field day with this tacky woman.

[NashVegas]

138. Mr. Blackwell Would Have Fallen Over Himself With Praise

[democrattotheend]

10. What's wrong with those suits?

I like most of those outfits. And I can understand them spending some money on new clothes for her, since I would guess things are more casual in Alaska and she probably did not have enough of the right kind of outfits for the campaign trail. But $150,000 seems like an obscene amount of money to spend on that stuff....you can get nice suits for $300 or less, and how many new suits did she need? If they had spent $10,000 I would say that seemed reasonable, but $150,000? Nice to see my tax dollars at work!

[Hepburn]

17. To start with...

...ck out the skirts on most of the outfits ~~ they are NOT correctly tailored. She how they bunch up on her?

The styles are WRONG for her small frame to begin with.

JMHO

[NashVegas]

139. They're On a Republican, Fundie RWer

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

150. They cost the price of a small house.

That's what's wrong with them.

[sunder]

11. That diaper bag alone

runs $150 or more.

[Best_man23]

12. $150K???

You could provide clothing for a whole damn village for that.

I'm a guy, and I have the worst fashion sense, but I have to say the purse she's carrying in the picture of her getting off the plane is God-awful looking.

[obiwan]

127. A village of idiots, that is.

[elkston]

14. Dunno about the clothes, but I gotta tell you ...

She looks nice in that first pic with the form-fitting red dress and boots. The sleek, black outfit is pretty hot as well.

It really sucks that she's revealed her true self, because otherwise this is MILF-city.

[chimpymustgo]

22. I think she looks awesome. But she's still a skank bitch.

[Sannum]

15. The tacky french pedicure.

OMG. I thought that was religated to gals in foot fetish videos. My Manicurist refuses to do it for that reason. I have never asked her why she knows so much about it, lol.

Sarah, next time you go on a shopping spree, you can get a few pieces from Neiman Marcus and Saks, but the basics, like pencil skirts and your regular staple pieces like shirts can be purchased at J. Crew. A good tailor can do wonders, sweetie. And boots in warm weather? Tacky. I am as partial to Manolo's as the next girl, but you need to know where to shop and what to spend money on. Clearly you are not requesting a discount, so you don't know who to talk to. Certain VIP's can get huge discounts at NM.

Spend, Baby, Spend.

[Hepburn]

23. OMG....

...dying laughing here.

I went to my "spend the day on me" place yesterday. Facial, manicure, pedicure...the whole works. Well, I have not had a French manicure for a long time...so I tried it on my toes, too!!!!

Made them take it right off ~~ you are correct ~~ it is tacky as hell and it does look like it is from some porn film!

:hi:

[Sannum]

27. totally off topic...

I love Essie colors...Wicked and Starter Wife are ones I use all the time. The discontinued Starter Wife and I bought 10 bottles of it!

I hope you enjoyed your spa day! I am overdue for one!

[Hepburn]

32. I go for the pale colors...

...am older ~~ well, actually a senior ~~ and have large hands. I usually strive for a plain color and short, rounded shape to my nails, just a very natural look. Goes well with my pearl earrings and Edith Head eyeglasses!

I do love my day at the spa! There is a place right next to it that does "foot relaxation." OMG...to DIE FOR! I could live there...and some days, I wish I did! They have Asian string music and serve the BEST tea in HUGE mugs...and I usually fall asleep half-way through the treatment!

:hi:

[AllieB]

141. I bought discontinued OPI colors on eBay.

Why do they always discontinue the neutral, business-friendly colors? My fave was Coney Island Cotton Candy. Gone.

[grace0418]

26. So I'm not the only one.

For some reason french pedicures gross me out and I don't know why.

[Pithlet]

106. I think it makes your toenails look overgrown.

I agree, they're gross.

[fed_up_mother]

109. I thought I was the only one who hated French pedicures! LOL

[mscuedawg]

18. The 3rd one makes it look like she stands to pee.... n/t

[NI4NI]

19. So, this is what all the well dressed "hockey moms" are wearing this season? n/t

[WCGreen]

20. I'm too sexy for my skirt

Too sexy for my skirt..

So sexy that it hurts...

[alsame]

21. The moose tote bag with designer suits is a nice touch.

:sarcasm:

[marions ghost]

24. The trophy candidate

and former beauty queen has gotta be lookin good, y'know.

Hockey Mom Barbie: She comes with a pair of sexy black boots and a red Chinese silk diaper bag....

The Total Woman, Republican style.

(Watch Repug women around the country try to get "the Look." It'll be marketed at JC Penneys and not look much different from Neiman Marcus).

[renate]

25. I hadn't seen most of that before

I'd just seen her in those big boxy three-quarter-sleeve jackets (and I love a three-quarter sleeve, just not the boxy cut), and the primary colors.

I don't think it was necessary to spend that much money on those nice but hardly ground-breaking looks, but those clothes are much nicer than I realized. At least when she goes home to Alaska she'll have something to show for her trouble.

[Arkansas Granny]

29. They couldn't very well have her show up wearing this!

Or this.

[Sannum]

30. Holy crap, what is that first one!?

The second one is an animal carcass, but what the hell is the first one? Something from Cyndi Lauper's "no" pile?

[Hepburn]

39. Number One looks to me like....

a discard from the STYLE channel program, "How do I look?"

:rofl:

[vaberella]

51. Phooey to you...I love no.1.

I saved that pic so I can make it myself later. :headbang:

[Hepburn]

68. Latte spew....

....:rofl:

I hear that WalMart carries that stretchy pink material! :hi:

[morillon]

86. Bwahahahaah! n/t

[sunder]

34. LMAO! n/t

[mamalone]

52. Actually..

I think the first one is a traditional Eskimo garment... I could be wrong though. If it is, then there is at least a smidge of integrity to it.

The fur collar though... gross is the only word that comes to mind.

[demnan]

53. Geez, she did need a make over

I think the clothes are ok. They all look like they were picked out in a hurry and are not really her style. I had thought she looked far more sophisticated than the way she talks. Now this picture is about what I would have guessed she'd wear.

[VOX]

102. OHHHH!!! So **that's** how you carry your fur-lined toilet seat!

Man, $150,000 would make you a rich fella in some (Red ) states.

[GTurck]

31. Women's clothes are...

wildly over-priced and just as wildly sized. I also could once have dressed better for a whole lot less but we are in another era of ugly, ugly mass-market clothing aimed only at the juvenile and skinny. I am old enough that this is at least the 5th go-around in ugly, expensive, unwearable clothing. One interesting thing is that decades ago the observation was made that as goes the political climate so goes the hem-line and the fashion. Check out the clothing styles since the end of WWII.:woohoo:

[DeepBlueDem]

33. I didn't know she wears F*** Me boots!!!!

[vaberella]

44. The stilettos really turn me off as well. n/t

[AspenRose]

50. Condi boots

[NoodleyAppendage]

136. Tell me about it. It's no wonder she has so many kids...

...if I were "Taaad" I'd be hitting that often, as well.

J

[Tatiana]

37. I boots are killer, but not on her. I kinda miss Hillary's pantsuits. n/t

[Jennicut]

45. Hillary rocks those pantssuits. Loved the one at her DNC speech.

Most people cannot pull off orange.

[Tatiana]

61. And she knew how to accessorize with some really nice scarves

[Beacool]

85. I miss Hillary period.

Whether in a pantsuit, skirt or burka.

:cry:

[liberal N proud]

38. Makes John Edwards $400 haircut look like a bargain

[Hepburn]

46. Yep....

...especially considering they spent over $4K on must make-up for Mooselini!

:hi:

[mamalone]

40. Someone said she looks like a hooker who is dressing up "respectable"

and I heartily agree.

[Wolfies Revenge]

42. i wonder what is wrapped up in that rat's nest

[vaberella]

43. OMG in pic one it's Olympia Snowe...I thought that was a bag lady!!!

Like the assistant who holds the bags or papers for the candidate.

[AspenRose]

54. Disappointing isn't it?

Olympia Snowe is far more qualified to be VP than Governor Klondike Bar. And yet she's following her around looking bereft.

If that's not sexist I don't know what is.

[Lance_Boyle]

48. wow, her knees look TERRIBLE in pics 2 and 3

as if for some reason she's spent much of her political career on them.

[Dinger]

130. Yeah, She Doesn't Have The Legs For The Shorter Skirts

The longer ones look better.

[Wolfies Revenge]

55. what about first dude?

maybe he got a designer snowmachine suit out of the deal?

[CADEMOCRAT7]

56. Um, isn't that a little, um say ELITIST.

You betcha !

[L0oniX]

57. and then there is Cindy McCain's $300,000 outfit ...talk about elite ...jeeze

[Beacool]

58. The woman looks fine and she has an attractive figure.

That's not the problem, it's her crazy right wing views that are the problem.

Why all this emphasis on her clothing and physical appearance? It borders on sexism.

[DevonRex]

75. For me it's just about what's appropriate for the position. Just like

I have a really huge pet peave about cop shows on TV. The men are always appropriately dressed. But they have the women wearing REALLY low cut tops with a jacket thrown over, to pretend it's business attire.

If I could dress Palin, I'd have her in more simple outfits that allow her natural beauty to shine more than the clothes, rather than the other way around. That would also befit the seriousness of the position she's aspiring to.

[Beacool]

84. OK,

but other than their high priced tag, I haven't seen her wear anything that I would deem inappropriate since she's been a VP candidate.

I do know what you mean about TV shows. The tops are always way too low cut and the skirts too tight and short.

[DevonRex]

91. The only one that I think is inappropriate is the first one. The red suit.

It's not low cut or anything, but I think it is a bit too form-fitting for the campaign trail.

Mostly I feel that way because they really needed to use the "dress for success" model. She needed to project gravitas to counter her lack of credentials and the pit bull role she has during her speeches. The shiny red jacket is another example of what I'm talking about. The cut is fine but it's too flashy and playful, given her speaking style which is already "playful."

I'm pretty glad, actually, because her outward appearance really does reflect the type of candidate she is. Just think if McCain's manner of dress were an outward manifestation of his personality and politics. That would be pretty amusing. Any ideas of what he'd wear?

[Neshanic]

59. Proof positive she has absolutely no gay staff or friends.

WTF is with the dominatrix black boots? Did she get those at Neiman Marcus' "Lil Facist" collection? WTF was she thinking wearing those?

Third down is just fucking awfull.

They all suck, they did not dresss her accordingly. The only one remotely acceptable is the next to last.

The last. Jesus what ARE those? Are they shoes?

[DevonRex]

71. I agree. She definitely needs help. That really cute blonde guy

who has his own show now (can't remember his name but he was on Queer Eye) could dress her appropriately and attractively in about 15 minutes. I'd love to hear what he thinks about her wardrobe.

[msanthrope]

104. Or maybe there's gay RNC staff who dressed her that way,

deliberately.....

"Sarah, you look great!!!!" (Screw you and your gay-hating agenda...)

[Neshanic]

135. ROTFLMAO!

[hedgehog]

60. You know, for $150 K, I could pay off my mortgage, my credit cards, all the student loans

and get a new kitchen (my sink is 40+ years old) and a new roof!

I might pick up a new winter coat from LLBean, too.

[Veruca Salt]

108. I was thinking the same thing,

only I'd get my first house. Because unlike someone (I won't name names) who has 7 houses, I have none.

So yeah, pay off the student loans, credit card, a good chunk on a home and maybe a vacation.

But 150k on CLOTHES?!

That's elitist.

[ellie]

62. She had a

tan jacket on once that I liked but I don't see it in the photos.

[wvbygod]

63. Why legitimize the $400 haircut with this petty crap?

Who gives a flip what whom is wearing? The issues would be much more telling.

[madmom]

64. Pic #3 looks like she's cheerleading or doing the YMCA dance.

[Neshanic]

65. Really, she looks like she is always doing a pose for a mens magazine.

[Carolina]

72. flame me if you want and call me old-fashioned

(indeed I am OVER 50) but I don't think bare legs are appropriate. I realize it's the 'in' thing now but in the professional work place and in corridors of power, I think a woman should wear stockings.

And yes -- it's a ridiculous amount especially when you can find things, nice things for less. There's a reason we used to call Neimann Marcus: Needless Mark Up

[Neshanic]

74. There is too much leg, but thos F*** me boots are over the top. Ewww.

[morillon]

83. Oh, I agree.

Going without stockings to those meetings with heads of state was SOOOO not appropriate. There are times for going without hosiery, but this wasn't one of them.

[pipi_k]

93. Another over 50 lady here

who thinks bare legs (especially with pumps) are totally inappropriate



Unless the bare legs and feet are attached to sandals

like on the beach or something


My first inclination, when seeing bare legs and pumps is to think, "How trashy"



~PipiK, taught to wear stockings with dress shoes during the Jurassic period...

:7

[fed_up_mother]

110. Middle aged women and older need hosiery, imo.

I guess I'm just very dated! LOL I think an older woman without hose dressed in a suit looks trashy, although I'm not speaking particularly about Palin. I realize she's just following fashion trends.

[Lorien]

120. Me too. And her knees are as awful as mine are

I would never show them like that.

She could have done as well or better at outlet stores for a LOT less!

[RoadRage]

73. Shamelessly Plugging My Thread (Palin BEFORE PICS)

If you think the ones above looked bad... here is a looksy at what she looked like BEFORE they dumped $150,000 on her!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7557409&mesg_id=7557409 (also pic heavy)

[Hepburn]

77. I saw it already ~~ great thread and I loved it! n/t

[msanthrope]

76. I think Sarah got punk'd--she doesn't have the taste to understand

that she was dressed badly by people who found her repugnant.....

[RoadRage]

78. 2nd to Last Picture..

First, what happened to her right hand.. what's up with the band-aid?

Second.. what's up with the MOOSE BAG?? How much did that thing cost? :) I'm guessing "Free from Mooseheads of Alaska".. her stylists cringed when they saw that picture. ;)

[Bucky]

100. She fell down while jogging on McCain's ranch during pre-debate prep week

That's the cover story, anyway. I think an orphan moose hell-bent on revenge simply got past the secret service.

[obiwan]

128. It got stuck in John's zipper.

[LynneSin]

79. Remeber this is a gal who used state tax dollars to pay for her kid's travel

so she probably got the RNC to pay for her kids clothes along with Todd's wardrobe.

But I will say the $500 red pumps in the last picture are really nice but I wouldn't pay $500 for shoes

[Hepburn]

80. Wonder if this is like a beauty pageant?

She is 1st-runner-up for the VP spot...so she gets to keep the clothes cuz she is not getting the VP crown?

:shrug:

[madmom]

81. One thing I've noticed in the before and after pics..the skirts are longer more appropriate for

someone her age. Maybe that's the reason for the make over to get rid of the hoochie-momma look.

[Hepburn]

82. IMO, the longer skirts are a bit too long and a bit too tight.

Whoever did the tailoring for her got it wrong, IMO. I do agree that the earlier hoochie-momma look was bad...but the skirts that hit her mid-kneecap ~~ they look WRONG. They should either be, IMO, right above the knee or right below.

JMHO

[WinkyDink]

96. DEF too tight. Should NOT pull and tug.

[abumbyanyothername]

88. Where are the Virgin Mary outfits?

Those were my favorites.

The all white days.

[Hepburn]

92. LOL....

...I thought she looked like the Red Cross people standing outside the grocery stores with their donation boxes!

:hi:

[Virginia Dare]

89. It takes a lot of cash to look like a fabu celebrity every day...

somebody is just a tad too full of herself wouldn't you say? She's trying to steal that republicon dominatrix crown from Condi.

[debbierlus]

90. The only suit that stands out is the black debate suit, the rest looks like Macy Seconds

[Rosa Luxemburg]

94. she could have shopped in Target

[RockaFowler]

153. She could've gone to Macy's and not spent 1/3 of the money

I shop at Macy's and find some great work outfits.

[WinkyDink]

95. She is deluded re: the "shapeliness" of her legs. NOT your best feature, Miss Sarah!

And I'm one who knows from thick ankles/calves!

[chatnoir]

117. Totally agree - she has fairly shapeless, dumpy legs for a runner.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

97. The RNC shoulda called Stacy and Clinton

They'd have gotten more for a lot less.

[demo dutch]

98. Must have gone shopping with Cindy, she 's got no fashion sense either!

[Bucky]

99. She's cute no matter what she wears. They should've spent the money on tutors.

But I'll bet Michael Jackson wants his red jacket back after the election is over.

[road2000]

101. I like the suit in the 4th photo.

Skirt length and shoes seem somewhat appropriate. But WTF is that jacket in #3? With matching pants, she could be the Tin Woodman. She's even doing his dance.

Is that what some are calling the Thriller Jacket?

[Vektor]

103. She is SO masculine.

My god WHY does anyone try to imply that this woman is attractive?!

Who is buying into that crap?

The 150,000 should have been spent on a brain transplant, and maybe fixing her helmet hair and giant block-head.

[fed_up_mother]

113. No she's not. Your bias disallows you to be even remotely objective

She's an attractive airhead. Not much between the ears, apparently, but attractive, anyway.

[Vektor]

121. That's your perception. She doesn't even look like a woman to me.

To MANY, she is not attractive at all, and extremely masculine. Large square head, manly jawline, etc. Bias has nothing to do with it. Her facial features are not feminine.

She's simply NOT good looking, no matter how badly the RW and the media wants to perpetuate that myth in order to get people to pay attention to her.

We could either go back and forth like this until we're blue in the face or you can accept a difference in opinion. :shrug:

[RebelOne]

124. I beg to differ. She is attractive, but I don't have to like her. n/t

[obiwan]

126. She's real ugly where it counts. Between the ears.

All the fancy clothes in the world won't fix that.

[Vektor]

133. I don't really like her, but that's irrelevant.

She looks like a bad drag queen, regardless of whether I liked her or not, that would be the case.

[fed_up_mother]

134. Actually, I think most people can see that she is generally attractive

She's just not your type.

If you think she's "extremely" masculine, I have to wonder what you consider feminine? You must think Hillary is ugly as well. She's not exactly the most feminine woman I've ever seen, yet I find her to be an attractive woman, as well.

[Vektor]

140. Actually, most can see that she is generally not. A polished turd, so to speak.

Heavy makeup, huge hair, expensive, yet tacky clothes.

Underneath it all, she's a frumpy, middle aged mother of five who is painfully ordinary looking, and completely lacking in any character that would make her remotely interesting. If she were not shoved down our throats by the media, she wouldn't warrant a second glance in a crowd. She's "blah" on a good day, and looks like a garishly made-up tranny most other days. Her facial structure is extremely manly, and no amount of war-paint can soften that.

As for Hillary, I find her appearance much more palatable, actually. She is quite petite, and has a soft face with round cheeks and large eyes. She looks generally more pleasant and warm. Palin looks harsh, square, angular, and gaudy as hell.

I'm sorry that you are so compelled to defend her that you cannot let this drop.

It's a matter of opinion whether or not someone is attractive, and if you like her, fine, but all the argument in the world is not going to nullify what I see with my own eyes.

[fed_up_mother]

144. I'm compelled because going on about her looks seems sexist to me

[Vektor]

145. Everyone is going on about her looks. She puts herself out there, and the media eggs it on.

There are over 100,000 people on this site besides me going on about her looks, as is most of the world.

Why, who knows? Like I said, if it weren't for the media constantly hyping her and trying to draw attention to her appearance, nobody would notice her.

Also, she deliberately wears short, tight skirts, thigh high stiletto boots, big hair, and tons of make-up which is quite inappropriate for a vice presidential candidate. That's no mistake - she wants to be seen and talked about, and that's a double edged sword. Some people might like her, but others will say she looks garish and is trying too hard.


You don't need to feel compelled to defend her - she is actively participating in egging on the attention, even the negative.

Also, if a male candidate was on the campaign trail wearing skin tight pants and a shirt unbuttoned to his navel, we'd all be making fun of him for looking like a damn fool, too. There's really no sexism involved.

[fed_up_mother]

147. Her clothing is considered quite stylish. Even a number of women here like her clothes

Frankly, at my age, I think her skirts are too tight. :)

[Vektor]

151. It really depends.

Some of the outfits are better than others. What might be "stylish" to go out on the town is possibly too much for campaigning for VP. The worst thing about her, I think, is that her make-up is just WAY too over the top, and why she does that big, puffy, helmet hair thing is beyond me.

Overall, what is most unsettling about her looks is that it really looks like she is trying too hard. You've seen the female impersonators who wear really large wigs and lots of makeup, and tight clothes. It's funny from a theatrical perspective, but when a woman running for VP sports that look, it just really is BAD. Why the big, stiff hair? Why the cosmetics applied with a leaden touch?

Truth be known, normally, I wouldn't even notice or care, but we are stuck looking at this rotten woman every time we go online or turn on the TV. Every time she commits a fashion felony, we are privy to it.

I just want her to go back to obscurity so we can have our country back.

111. LOL! The French Pedicure cracks me up!

The only thing I hate more than a French manicure is a French pedicure.

114. I still don't get why the press didn't make a bigger deal...

about Cindy's $250,000 earrings at the convention.... talk about wasteful spending... I get more compliments on my CZ earrings than I do on my wedding set...

115. They RNC bought clothes for the entire clan...nt

[Beausoir]

118. She is an attractive woman with a great figure and she looks fine.

What comes out of her closet is not important.

What matters is what comes out of her mouth.

119. Funny how cheap she looks in all those expensive clothes.

That's why the $150K story came as such a surprise. Who would have guessed that it would cost so much to look like this?

And then, on the other hand, we have Michelle with her $100 dresses -- which look beautiful because SHE is the one wearing them.

123. That third picture looks like she's trying to pee standing up

:puke:

I could have spent a lot less and bought some other things I need more. LN46A550 Samsung Series 5 LN46A550 46 inch HDTV LCD TV and home theater, new Macbook Pro, renovations for my house just to name a few.

Never, EVER would I waste that kind of dough on CLOTHES!

125. Love those red Joan Crawford "fuck me" shoes.

129. Question for the Women

With the inflated price of women's clothing and wildly varying sizing (though I'm a man, I have two daughters--one teen, one early 20's), could you have found a professional ensemble for a fraction of the cost? I'm surprised amid all the "appearance discussion" no one stated the obvious. It's not the economic crash nor lack of experience with global issues which tarnish Gov. Palin, I've always found Democratic Women in all age groups, sizes and shapes are just naturally more intelligent and far more attractive than republican women!:kick:

[Beacool]

137. Of course they could have found cheaper clothes.

They decided to go high end, that's all. The problem is not how much they spent, but that the RNC picked up the tab.

I have nothing personally against Palin and I think that she's a very attractive woman. My problem with her are her politics, not her looks or clothing.

[AllieB]

142. Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Filene's Basement have designer clothes for a fraction of Neimans and Saks.

The high end stores also have off-price outlets (Off 5th, Neiman's Last Call, and Nordstrom Rack). And NYC has TONS of great stores with much lower prices on clothes like Century 21, Loehmann's, and Daffy's. Palin could have found great designer clothes for a fraction of the cost, especially in NYC.

131. i think the boots look better on her than the other shoes

i don't think her legs are that great and the boots kind of cover it up.

in those pics the only outfits i like are that red outfit with olympia snow and the black outfit she wore at the debate.

the rest is nothing special or kind of ugly, especially that 80s looking jacket.

[NashVegas]

132. I Guess She Could Have Just Gotten a Few Pantsuits ...

Except we all know what kind of criticism that would bring up. Been there, done that.

Professional women have to spend thousands of dollars a year on appearance, for image's sake alone. I can get away with picking through last year's leftovers at TJ Maxx. Palin, with the image Republicans are trying to project, can't.

And by the way - it's a fantastic wardrobe that most women, especially professional women of a certain age, would love to have.

146. The 6th pic down, where she is getting off the plane. I saw it and "Thriller" started playing in my

Head. Is this coincidental?

[Quantess]

148. Since when did the presidential campaign become a fashion show?

I want outfit #1 for myself. Love the red shoes, too. She looks great, except for the Michael Jackson Thriller jacket. Everything looks sharp, but she (the campaign) obviously paid way too much. Besides, she already looked lovely before the $150,000 wardrobe.

That $150,000 would have better spent on her brain. Money doesn't buy everything.

[amber_86]

149. The first pic with the red and boots

She look like a hooker. Because red is the color of Hookers.

[David__77]

152. I object to the French pedicure.

That's gross. The toenail should not even have the appearance of being grown out like that.
