The Upshot on Palin and Her Updo
The New York Times ^ | September 12, 2008 | Jan Hoffman

The customer has always been listed in the salon’s appointment book as “Sarah P.” “We would talk about pedicures and manicures and moose and politics, all while Sarah was having foils in her hair and holding my baby on her lap,” said Jessica J. Steele, the owner of the Beehive Beauty Shop in Wasilla, Alaska, where Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, has visited over the last six years ...

Sarah used a Lincoln quote to slap Charlie Gibson. We have that very quote on the wall of our new GOP HQ in Woodstock, Georgia. Come see.
Charlie, the media and the democratic leadership are helping us elect Sarah.
Thanks dumbocrats.

I dunno, this seemed like a nice story, even though I’m sure that the Slimes intended it as a low-key hit piece. It makes Governor Palin look like every other wife and mom out there in the country, and shows here as being pretty down to earth, especially since she avoids the big glitzy “salons” that the northeastern liberal feminists use, in favor of this small garage-based beauty-shop run by one of the ladies from her church.

Do her bun and bangs signal that Ms. Palin, does not want to attract attention to her appearance — even as she wants to remain presentably attractive?

Duh! What was your first clue, Genius?

“She’s very involved in her look and how she’s perceived,” Mrs. Steele said. “We would talk a lot about how if she looked too pretty or too sexy, people wouldn’t listen to her. How important it was for people to see her as an intelligent, smart woman. It was comical when her hair was down, how big a difference that would make, especially when she was running for governor.”

If you couldn't figure this out in the first five seconds, you weren't paying attention.

Sarah replied, “I put my hair up and got these glasses to try to make myself look as frumpy as I could....”

Sarah Palin couldn't look frumpy if she tried harder.

I’m changing my “do.”

Me too. It'll require 5" to be lopped off and I haven't decided on highlights. They're expensive and sitting around with foil on your head just asks for blackmail pictures.

“I'm glad I didn't have a cup of coffee in hand. I'd have snorted it with that one. LOL”

Which do you find worse, Coke or coffee out the nose? I'm not sure if the heat of the coffee is worse then the burn of carbonation. The major questions of life are so vexing!

i actually thought this was a great article on sarah. if i were mccain
camp, i would do an ad featuring the beehive and these women.
they can attest to sarah’s strength, fortitude, love of her family,
relating to real blue collar women and her solution to run for office
to change things she didn’t like instead of complaining.

My grandma used to do three aunts on Saturday mornings. Seriously. All three came over to have their hair washed, perms done and hair set for like 2-3 weeks. And two of them had their own rollers.

Honestly, the hightlight stuff smells worse. The guy I used to go to used this stuff that smelled like ammonia and did enough damage that I had most of it cut out. And with long hair, it took forever to get it to the ends.

Yes, looking good ain't easy. Thank Heaven for Sally's.

i think this is great article on sarah palin. mccain camp should run with it.
use the women in this story to talk about sarah. she really is someone
who does not let circumstances keep her from her goals. she’s
a successful working mom. what more does the left want?
