Sarah Palin wigs!

Now is your chance to put lipstick on a wig (but it's still a wig)! The Sarah Palin wigs and hairstyles are here- finally (McCain's hairstyle will be here soon enough, stupid male pattern baldness). Wigs not recommended for Pit Bulls.

The wigs were no trouble, no trouble at all- in fact they were already in stock. No they weren't leftover Tina Fey costumes (see glasses), but they did have a famous face attached to them.

Would you believe Raquel Welsh?

WigSalon is marketing their Raquel Welsh style wigs as a great Sarah Palin alternative. "Simply bobby pin back the upper layers of the Raquel Welch's new Valentine wig style, which is truly beautiful in it's [sic] own right, and let the longer layers fall freely."

WigSalon suggests that interested parties (just Republicans, right?) use shades of hazelnut with highlights of strawberry-blond. They also recommend the "Chocolate Copper", which "has an auburn highlight on a deep brown base, which Sarah also shows in some seasons."

Winter, spring, summer or fall, and of course duck season. No, wait, wabbit season.

And no, Tina Fey didn't need a wig, but she does a mean Palin! SNL Video!

you should stick to fashion, you're turning off a lot of people with this constant chatter about Sarah Palin...I'm guessing that you assume all of your readers are obamanatics? why is there no talk about a michelle obama or joe biden wig? or for that matter a monkey, i mean obama mask?

cheers!

That was mature. Funny how talk about wigs can bring out the racial hate in someone. Grow up.

i loved your article
even though we are selling these - i have to tell you - 60% are being bought by people who want to parody her ( like U-tubing it ) etc. - that's a good sign - i sell wigs - but - i have a conscience - and frankly - i think this wig thing has helped show her for what she is - a bit of a barbie - we need better in good times - and in these times - we need much better - mostly - i;d like an administration which simply does not lie - if a person lies about small things - they are capable of lying about big things - we've had 8 years of lying - enough ...

Yes, the Raquel Welch connection does work:

Everything old is new again? BTW, it's "Welch" not "Welsh" (sorry to be pointing out that kind of stuff....it's the teach in me)

Anyone else find the "look like Palin" craze a little creepy? Raquel Welch was more understandable to me. But I guess a celebrity wig is an easy way to copy a fab look without the hair commitment.
