Sarah Palin
(Sept 04 2008)

Style Description: Perhaps no vice-presidential candidate has ever been so famed for his or her hairstyle. Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin's trademark upsweep has been as defining for the former beauty contestant as her propensity for moose stew. Highlights, layered bangs, and her dexterity with a banana clip create a little va-va-voomness for the would-be VP. Think of it as hockey mom hair with a kick-it works as well behind the wheel of a minivan as it does on the stump.
Key Styling Tip: To get the look, backcomb the hair at the crown, lightly brush the outermost layer so it's smooth, then twist the hair into a messy knot just below the crown, and spray the whole head with hair spray. To keep the hair from looking too '80s, replace the banana clip with a hairstick or a dozen bobby pins.

She's absolutely beautiful and class with a lot of sass. Flatters herself without going over the top.

I bet those wolf pups she had shot in the head don't think she's so adorable.

She has it all - intelligence, savvy, looks and the ability to connect with people. She's a leader. I can't wait for her to be VP, then Prez.

I'll bet that the negative comments on Sarah's look come from liberal democrats who couldn't stand the thought that Sarah is a republican!!!! She is beautiful and classy and smart. Believe me, unless you live in Alaska, you have no idea what it is like and she only does what she has to do to keep her residents happy. I think she found the perfect hairdo for an active life that doesn't look like she just escaped a wind tunnel, or hacked it off to have no options or hair hassles. By the way, I don't think much of our new 1st lady.
