Looks like Palin doesn't shop at her consignment shop anymore!
Guess she got a taste for more expensive stuff now and can't seem to go back to second hand....





http://www.themudflats.net/2008/12/13/palin-spotted-by-secret-shopper/

It’s good to have boots on the ground. The Mudflats spies are everywhere, and one little elf was over at Nordstrom Friday morning doing a little Christmas shopping, and who do you think she saw? Not Joe the Plumber. Nooo…not Tito the Builder. Not Santa the Claus…none other than Sarah the Shopper!

The Mudflats undercover elf practically ran into Sarah, and overheard her talking about having alterations done on her new purchases. Although tempted to ask, “Who’s buying that stuff, the RNC??” the elf wisely resisted the urge, and instead hid behind the leather jackets and snapped this picture while pretending to text on her iPhone! It’s not the greatest quality picture, but I love it. It’s like a sighting of the Loch Ness Monster.

So yes, here we are in Alaska, facing massive budget shortfalls, people who can’t afford heat, gas prices the highest in the nation, oil prices plummeting, pipeline prospects crumbling, and where is our dear leader at 11:30am on a work day? At Nordy’s. That old tale of Nero fiddling while Rome burned comes to mind.

And really, if you were Sarah Palin, where is the LAST place you’d want to be caught right now….other than on a turkey farm? Right. Shopping for expensive clothes. And what ever happened to that little consignment shop she loves so dearly? I guess once you’ve got that fashion monkey on your back, it’s hard to shake.

1. She figures she's immune
and entitled to shop where she wants. She genuinely believes that she will run in 2012 and win the Presidency, and she's making sure she has the right clothes to do so.

7. She's no fool. She can buy what she wants to wear, have it altered to fit, donate it all to the
friendly owner of the consignment shop, and then have a photo-op with Fox "News" and other lapdog presspersons while buying her "used" clothing at her favorite consignment shop. She's got the bucks to stage the show.

The woman is not stupid.
Just conniving and completely lacking anything resembling moral fiber.

2. eh, holiday shopping
Much as I love watching her being a disaster, this one doesn't cut it for me. Hell I have shopped at that store. (way back in the 70's when I was working as a waitress)

3. I don't get this ongoing obsession with Palin
Her fifteen minutes, though going into overtime, has expired. Let her sink into well deserved obscurity, for the more you bring her up, the better it is for her.

4. BYW, you can find some really pricy stuff at consignment shops
Although there are some that are cheap, a lot of them have high-end designer clothes purhcased by women who wear things once if that much. It's not all used clothing. And the place where palan was supposedly shopping sounds like one of those high-end places.

6. The Grifter doesn't know what she's invited
on herself. There will be transparency. Priceless, just like that Nordy stuff :rofl:
