Which Version Will Win the Popular Vote?
“Pit Bull Palin” or “Sexy Sarah”
This Halloween, expect lots of people to be doing their best Tina Fey impression of GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin. From her pageant pouf to her Judy Garland peep-toes, so-called “Sarah Style” is as hot as moose hunting in Alaska.
Costumes that include a beauty sash proclaiming Miss Alaska on one side and vice president on the other and wigs featuring her signature updo are flying off the shelves. And those with a taste for titillation can dress up as the MILF candidate in a “Sexy Sarah” costume that comes with the sash, glasses and a patriotic bikini with blue star bottoms and a striped top. Flute for the talent portion of the evening sold separately.
Even celebrity Palin pundit Lindsay Lohan is getting in on the act. According to gossip gangster Perez Hilton, reports are swirling that LiLo plans to slut it up as a sexy Sarah Palin for Halloween. Expect lots of cleavage. And very, very BFF Sam Ronson is considering dressing up as snow-machine-ridin’ hunky hubby Todd Palin to complete the political duo. Total YouTube slamdunk if they went as Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston instead. After all, Linds probably still has the fake pregnancy belly from her just-wrapped flick Labor Pains.
But scoring a Palin mask might be as difficult as finding a Republican that believes global warming is scientific fact, and not “the sky is falling” liberalism. So if your heart is set on being the Barracuda on Oct. 31, and you just can’t snag her mask, here’s ShoeMinx’s Style Guide to re-creating Palin’s look.
Chances are you’re not likely to make a trip up to Wasilla, Alaska anytime soon to visit the Beehive, the Barbie-pink salon that’s been backcombing Palin’s bouffant and bangs for the last six years.
For her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, Palin opted for a Valentino jacket price tagged at $2,500. Campaign insiders told Page Six that the country’s most famous Hockey Mom not only snapped up the piece at Saks but also had a bevvy of GOP stylists to spiff her up. Like the fashion CIA or something. After all, she wouldn’t want to be called out as a limousine elitist in these trying economic times would she?
Since she first sported them at her debut as John McCain’s running mate, Palin’s red “Double Dare” Naughty Monkey pumps have become as famous as Monica Lewinsky’s blue Gap dress. Sales of Naughty Monkey shoes have increased by 50 percent on Amazon since. Celebrities like Paris Hilton had been photographed in the brand’s shoes, but seldom, if ever, a 40-something politician. Palin’s $375 Kazuo Kawasakis rimless glasses are so hot that the manufacturer has 9,000 new orders.
Paris Hilton is mock-running against the man at the top of the GOP ticket. Talk about politics making strange bedfellows. Naughty Monkey rep Jay Randhawa plans to send Gov. Palin some additional pairs of shoes and approach her about some kind of partnership. “We have to capitalize on it pretty soon,” he says. Yeah, four weeks and counting . .
But the saucy red heels simply just won’t go with the Caribou Barbie pageant ensemble. Coordinate your sash with white “Carrie” heels by Guess, like the ones Palin paired with the red bathing suit she modeled in the bathing suit competition during the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant. Hmmm, we wonder if Tina Fey will show America her sexy side in a recreation of that parody-rich clip.
I’ll just stick to Pullin’ For Palin.
