Warning: You must read the original article -- and you must put down your drink before you reach the end!
Perhaps it was the barnstorming convention speech from the self-styled 'pitbull in lipstick'. Or perhaps it was the appeal of the already iconic 'up-do' hairstyle and schoolmarm glasses.
Either way, Sarah Palin's explosive arrival on the big stage of American politics last week has shaken up the race for the White House in dramatic fashion.
Last night a new survey revealed that white women voters in America have abandoned Barack Obama to side with John McCain since he named mother-of-five Palin as his vice-presidential running mate.

But despite the intense spotlight on her personal life, there seems to be no stopping the feelgood effect of the woman whose appearance has also become a source of fascination.
Her trademark fine-rimmed glasses, based on the Kawasaki 704 series, are already flying off the shelves, while her hairstyle is being copied across America.
So how hard is it to get her look, and can 'doing a Palin' make any woman feel powerful?
I tried it and the short answer is - I felt very powerful indeed.

The ending is priceless, but put down your drink before you get there.

"She is not overtly sexy - which means she's appealing to women - but what red-blooded man on either side of the Atlantic isn't secretly imagining her throwing those glasses to one side and unclipping that glossy mane so it tumbles over her shoulders?"
"Why, Miss Jones, you are beautiful."
