[spanone]

1. she looks snockered

[Blue_In_AK]

2. Ummm, you may be right.

[IMG][/IMG]

[Scuba]

6. Her next "career" gonna be country singer?

[Drahthaardogs]

21. Her left hand has no ring on it.

Not to start any rumors or anything but....

[Scuba]

3. With those shoes she can see Russia from behind her outhouse.

[Brother Buzz]

13. That be DUzy material, for sure

[malaise]

22. Getting up off the floor

[KaryninMiami]

53. Thank you- I needed to laugh tonight and that did the trick! NT

[Raven]

4. She's just appealing to her base. n/t

[larkrake]

5. she is not aging well

[RebelOne]

29. Much as I do not like her,

I think she looks great for her age.

[progressivebydesign]

47. You need to see real pics of her... someone posted them earlier. Not aging well at all.

The pics you see of famous people, like this, are not reality. She is not aging well. Look around the threads for the candid pics. Looks around 60. Being emaciated doesn't mean she looks good, and she has either gotten breast enhancements or falsies, because according to the candid pics, they are not original equipment.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

40. She looks hard.

But it's a look she has chosen.

The hair is dyed too dark and the streaks are trashy. She's probably spending a small fortune on her facial skin, but the skin everywhere isn't keeping up -- too much time in the tanning bed. It looks as if she's lost weight -- too much. And that get-up is a Glamour "Don't" if ever there was one... tacky!

[dipsydoodle]

7. So she's lost weight.

[Siwsan]

9. If she was anyone else, I'd say weight, and a healthy amount of self respect

That outfit screams out a need for attention - any attention. Kind of sad, really.

[dipsydoodle]

65. Looks to me

like she just dressed down to suit her audience in that particular State.

[LadyHawkAZ]

8. Meh

Maybe she just likes those clothes? I seriously don't think those shoes match that outfit, but then I'm not the one that has to wear them. I personally think the outfit looks stupid, but is it really such a huge issue that it deserves two threads? It's not like she lacks opportunities for criticism without stooping to insulting her fashion sense.

[RebelOne]

30. The whole outfit really does look stupid, but I love the shoes. n/t

[LadyHawkAZ]

31. They're nice clubbing shoes

My daughter has a similar pair, and my bff has a red-and-white pair. They're not good barbecue-in-capris-and-Superman-Tshirt shoes.

[peacebird]

10. NOT a good look for her.

[gollygee]

11. Is it really necessary to critique her physically?

And do we do this to male politicians?

[Marrah_G]

14. Its not a physical critique....

It's more of a WTF is she wearing clothes designed for a teenager when she is at a political event thing. If a male politician showed up in the male version of this outfit, I'd be WTFing also.

[Siwsan]

16. If a male politician showed up at a campaign event dressed like a clown - yes, remarks would be made

Nothing on her physcial self - she could be 100 lbs or 300 lbs and she would still look as desperate.

[LadyHawkAZ]

17. Yes, we do

How many times have you heard:

Romney = used car salesman
Chris Christie = fat
Pres. Obama = handsome hottie wolf whistles (I happily join in on this one)
John Boner = orange, drunk
Mitch McConnell = turtle
etc

We're a media driven society. To a large portion of the country, looks matter more than anything. They shouldn't, but they do.

[obxhead]

24. Mit Romney in mom jeans?

Yes we do in fact do this to male politicians.

[progressivebydesign]

51. and there was the Obama Dad jeans, too. n/t

[progressivebydesign]

49. It's critiquing her physically. If McCain showed up in a toupee, and a shirt open to his navel..

you damn well bet we'd be talking about it.

It's more about her sudden image change... People talked about Bill Clinton when he lost all the weight.

But this is about a public figure.. a media figure.. who seems to be riding off the rails, as evidenced by her new penchant for dressing like a 15 year old at a Dairy Queen in Lodi.

[snooper2]

50. I think I saw at least one post before

About Chris Christie being able to eat her whole LOL

[Marrah_G]

12. She looks like she is trying to be 16......

The shoes are horrid.

[DeSwiss]

15. Someone at Wonkette.....

...commenting on this picture mentioned the fact that the tee-shirt she's wearing extols the virtues of an illegal immigrant from Krypton.

[Siwsan]

20. HAHA! I was so mesmerized by the shoes, the significance of the shirt escaped me

As strange as she looks, this really is kind of sad, IMHO.

[riverwalker]

18. if she addresses the GOP convention

hope she wears that outfit.

[pinboy3niner]

19. Is she auditioning for SCTV's Happy Wanderers?

[hifiguy]

23. That look is iffy but understandable

on a 12-year-old girl. On someone Mooselini's age, appearing at a political rally in that get up is beyond absurdity or bad taste.

[jmowreader]

25. She needs big hair, inch-long acrylic nails with rhinestones on them, and far more makeup

After all, if you want to paint yourself as Sarah the Attention Ho, you need to go all the way.

[liberal N proud]

26. Trying to be folksy

FAIL

[IggleDoer]

27. How's that Changey of Lifey thing working out for you, Lou Sarah?

[nichomachus]

28. Looks like she should be working a corner somewhere. Nt

[ellenfl]

32. she's gotten so scrawny. sampling the wares of wasilla, perhaps? no on the shoes, sarah. eom

[tblue]

33. I don't care what she wears but

you'd think she can afford a stylist. Well she can always fall back on her sweet personality, her supreme ethics and heroic example, and her brilliant eloquence, and....Oops. Maybe not.

[Alduin]

34. Is she 15?

[madinmaryland]

35. Meth is a nasty drug, Sarah. Get some help.

[shanti]

36. my god, those shoes are hideous

well, the entire outfit is, really.

[Honeycombe8]

37. Nope. I don't believe that's her. Or it's photoshopped. She'd never wear shoes like that.

It's not her style.

[ohheckyeah]

39. There are a lot of photos of her

in this getup at the link. It's her.

[Honeycombe8]

62. Well, I'm eating my words! It IS her. I found multiple sources for this.

Unbelievable. Only thing I can figure is...it was one way to get her pic in the news. Not just another campaign speech, was it?

[ohheckyeah]

64. I don't blame you for thinking

it was so over the top it couldn't possibly be her. LOL - yes, she will do anything for a photo op.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

38. A campaign appearance AND an audition for GODSPELL !!!

[baldguy]

41. Actually, she looks pretty good in tacky.

[Cass]

42. She looks ridiculous. nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

44. I'm not going to add to a perfect judgment rendered with perfect economy

[kestrel91316]

43. Good god, what a freak. I thought she looked nice and professional in the

VP candidate duds, BTW.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

54. Somebody was dressing her when she was a candidate.

When she dresses herself she looks cheap.

[johnnie]

45. I wonder if she has one of these at home

[L0oniX]

46. F'ing TRAILER TRASH!

[ecstatic]

63. I didn't want to be the one to say it...

Meth addict works too, IMO.

[Monk06]

48. Rule number 1 for Gopper Girls. Do not try to compete with Lady Ga Ga in the shoe deptartment.

On the other hand maybe she just can't afford Alexander McQueen.

[stevenleser]

52. Game change suggested she had some serious mental health issues

She would have to have gone off the deep end to think that look was good for trying to hold on to whatever credibility she has left among her supporters.

[VOX]

55. Looking Very Vice Presidential...

I seriously wonder about this nation's sanity when I think -- this woman was actually a vice presidential candidate of a major political party.

[liberalmuse]

56. No doubt...

the 14 year old "boys" in the Republican party are fine with this, LOL. I loathe her personality, but as far as style goes, she needs to find a happy medium that falls about mid-way between this tween look and her usual 60-year old lady suits.

[Blue Owl]

57. Remember, she was the better candidate than Romney

[lonestarnot]

58. She looks ridiculous, but then she is ridiculous. Snort.

[auburngrad82]

59. Wait, that's not Snooki??? nt

[Raster]

60. OMG! I've seen coke-whores look more presentable.....

....or is it koch-whores?

[Blue Idaho]

61. You think that's something

You should see her vajazzle...

[Quantess]

66. Time to be fashion police. Okay, I`ll play. It's just a bad combination.

The shoes and pants together are okay, but it needs a dressier top. There is no age limit for the shoes & pants part of that outfit. Anybody who tries to say a 65 year old shouldn't wear those shoes is just an uptight bore, regardless of how progressive you say you are.

The t-shirt and belt together would be okay (on a 20-to-30 year old), with blue jeans and sneakers. A woman her age can get away with that t-shirt and belt with worn-out blue jeans to the grocery store, maybe. I would never wear that t-shirt.

All you have to do is move the photo within the browser to see that the real problem lies with the top half of the outfit.

Anyway, let's please not forget that fashion policing is EXTREMELY trivial.

[peacefreak]

67. Klass is everything.
