So here goes:
Number One -- Dangling earrings are probably not suitable for any kind of political career. Although they are sexy, alluring and seductive, they are probably more appropriate for a D.C. hostess than a politico. First of all, they are going to give all those horny guys on Capitol Hill the wrong idea and will not inspire confidence among voters that she can get the job done. (Whatever that job ends up being.) Dangling earrings look especially wrong when they are paired with glasses. When both earrings and eyeglasses are made of metal, that is way too much metal to have surrounding one's face. So Sarah Palin's first 2010 move should be to lose the dangling earrings and replace them with some post or stud earrings in a tasteful, subdued style. And preferably in either sterling silver or gold.
Number Two - Sarah Palin's second 2010 move should be to pursue a more subdued hair color. Or should I say colors? Hair colorists truly can work wonders, but they do need to be reined in every now and then, or one's hair ends up resembling a critter on Animal Planet. Ms. Palin's hair color looks like nothing I have ever seen in or around nature, and she needs to find one that will not startle.
Number Three - Ms. Palin needs to work with a stylist who has successfully dressed many political figures. I think she should study Madeleine Albright, who dresses beautifully in a tasteful and dignified manner. Maybe she could hunt down Madeleine Albright's stylist, she and Ms. Albright being kindred spirits and all that. So that should be her third move - to find someone who can help her pull together her wardrobe.
Number Four - Ms. Palin should spend some time in front of a video camera and then study the results. She needs to work on that over-eager, bug-eyed smile that seems to convey that she's about to raid her neighbor's fridge, and just about everyone else's. Even if one is about to raid one's neighbor's fridge, it is probably not a good idea to make that public knowledge. (Then one's neighbor just goes and locks up his or her fridge.) At the very least, she should learn to study the background of the video before it's underway. For example, it's a good idea to not be standing in front of a turkey being slaughtered when one's image is being recorded for posterity. (Or YouTube.)
So I hope Sarah Palin can use 2010 to ratchet up her image and build up some political momentum. I hope my brilliant insights will help her do that. I know that I will be seeing her image on many magazine covers for many years to come. If I can save myself from having to look at the "Hockey Mom as Pitbull with Lipstick" one more time, I will have done a great favor for everyone everywhere. You may thank me now.

Post a CommentVery funny...how did you like the picture of her in those sport shorts...it was on the cover of some magazine, I forgot which one already.
And I do thank you now! You're just the person for the job of overhauling Ms. Palin!
Wise words- thanks!
Palin needs a makeover, all right. As Daddy used to say, "Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes all the way to the bone."
Palin needs to learn integrity, honesty, sense of responsibility for herself, compassion for others, and a strong work ethic.
