Something I won't be buying

Inside Edition just had a tease about women rushing out to get Sarah Palin’s glasses. The hot new trend-spotting accessory, apparently, for that 40-something mother of five who needs just a little bit more going on. Based on Google.com, IE isn’t the only one touting the latest fashion.

I love glasses. I can’t imagine getting contacts (never mind that they’d suck up pollen that could kill me). But, fucking please.

Who dresses up like politicos? Who dresses up like politicos who were former beauty queens who now are so fucking obviously trying for a more mature, dare I say more authoritatively frumpy, look?

The day I play dress up by emulating a republican will be exactly never.

By the way, is the teased bump up-do that leans toward bouffant a throwback, retro thing? Or did fashion just never make it up there to “America’s largest state,” as the GOP is blasting meme-wise.

As a bit of an aside, this fashion posting isn’t sexist, double-standard female bashing. Nope, it’s a bitter note more about her being the same age and gender as me, and causing all our compadres a little more scrutiny. The Boston Herald online, for example, doing a little reportage on the hair. I gather long hair after 40 has a whiff of desperation. Sigh. Better go get my perm and hair helmet, fitting the regulations of my advanced age.

By the way — WHAT FUCKING EVIL DEVIL’S PACT HAS RUDY GUILIANI SPEECHIFYING AGAINST SEXISM?!?! Fucking, seriously. What a tool.
