Sometimes U.K. stands for Unbelievable Knucklehead. A British reporter at the Daily Mail named Anne Shooter got the Sarah Palin makeover and decided to walk in the VP candidate’s pumps for a day. She claims that the dated up-do -- which took an entire can of hairspray to secure -- and frameless glasses brought her newfound authority and a sexy sense of self.
Here’s her take on playing politico:
‘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.’
And then she concludes with: ‘Palin gets my vote.’
Luckily, Shooter can’t vote. But the sheer fact that she would pull the lever for a candidate because of her sensual-librarian look makes me want to huff hairspray and chew on bobby pins. This type of commentary transforms the glass ceiling into steel. Try breaking through that with your shellacked up-do.
