Sarah Palin's Funky Toenails

Hey, is that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin singing karaoke? (Cue Kelly Pickler's "Red High Heels"...)

Palin showed up to give a speech at the Autism Speaks Walk Now for Autism fundraiser in Purchase, NY on Sunday, and walked away with some unexpected press.

Her, shall we say, loud choice in digit decoration was the focus of numerous media reports. It appears she has a constellation of polka dots layered over red polish on her big toe.

So ... trendy or tacky? Mom-appropriate? Or best left to tweens at a Miley Cyrus concert?

Roxanne Valinoti, a Creative Nail Design Ambassador says, "Trendy! The toes are a great clue inside a person's alter ego ... her blinged out toes suggest she is a free spirit." Agree? Then feel free to try the look yourself. Valinotti says it's easy: "Rhinestones or glitter applied over wet polish with a coat of topcoat to seal." Voila! A Palin Pedi.

Why yes, finally something relevant and important that can be said about Palin. Her nail polish is much more clearly related to world affairs and meaningful discourse than her intellect or her opinions on world matters.

Jamesnpost, if you want meaningful discourse, you'd probably do better to speak to Ronald MacDonald, or The Burger King. Sarah Palin is a mental midget, and everyone knows it except you, apparently. Good luck with that, you stupid Republican @sshole.

If she becomes president, all world leaders will need to have the same color of toenail polish she wears each day.

If the leftist media didn't have such control over what we see and hear through slanted media reporting, President Obama might still be organizing in Chicago. I see that nothing has changed. I guess (according to the media) the color of her toe-nail polish had more relevance than what she was saying at the event.

Why don't you get off Palins backside and get on that socialistic, muslim backside and that side kick wife of is. No
to scared to, but if he was white, brown he's just a man doing wrong, no GOD MAYBE a little demon . Whats wrong with you people, you got more to worry about then Palin's toes. YOUR FREEDOM, YOUR CHILDRENS FREEDOM and He doesn't even make a good Muslim letting his wife do the things she does.We need to get rid of some of these Senators who sataround for years just sucking up the honey.
Let the woman alone, let them wear what ever, they look good in it whether its Mrs President in her funky $588.00 T-Shoe or Palin's toe polish.

Ladies you have to understand this MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR JOURNALISM has to go right after the very MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES. Since the common liberal leftist belief would have you believe that Gov Palin opens her mouth just long enough to change feet the TOENAIL POLISH is appropiately more mindless faughter. Wait til the next election though and we'll see just where the bear craps in the buckwheat. Network News and good subjective journalism IS DEAD. Just a bunch of pretty faces in front of empty helmuts

You're clearly a nut job! You're also clearly uneducated...you can't spell or articulate your ignorant thoughts very well. Let me guess...Bible-thumper from middle America who is more focussed on hate than loving your neighbor as your beloved Jesus tried to teach his followers. Too closed a mind I suspect. God help us all!

Not concerned about her polish but why do women who have 'Morton's toe' wear sandals? Not an attractive look.

Sarah Palin is too old to be dressing like a teenager or college student.

The toe nails are okay for the younger generation, teens yes, but she needs to act and dress age appropriate.

Too many older women, with teens, college age children and even grandmothers are dressing like their daughters and granddaughters and they look foolish.

Palin also needs to get a new hairstyle. Long hair on a woman over 40 looks like she's trying to look like she did in high school.

Even a woman who doesn't have a weight problem shouldn't wear her hair longer than the collar of her shirt or dress and never pass her shoulders.

Today even grossly overweight women of all ages are not wearing nice hair styles. Long hair on overweight women of any age and women over 40 doesn't make them look younger, only shows their age and makes them look ridiculous.
