In other words, Palin appears too good to wear a dress from Target, when that level is where she is from. It will smack of hypocrisy. Again, I do not have a problem with the image makeover. In fact, I think it did wonders for her look. It just makes her look like a fake.
Who wouldn't want to spend $175,000 at Neiman's and Saks? When I heard about the shopping trip I finally realized Sarah and I have something in comon besides the obvious. 
Seriously though, this will not play well with middle America, especially in these economic times.
Michelle Obama has managed to look stylish with pieces from H&M and White House Black Market. Sarah would be wise to follow suit. |
Yes, the makeover has been a gigantic improvement--Lord knows she needed one. But you're absolutely right that it could have been done for far less, if anyone was concerned about authenticity.
Certainly the shopping spree won't change anything for people who already supported McCain/Palin. But it should make the undecideds think twice about the genuineness of the campaign's appeals to the middle class.
