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.

Kay, you must be old and very insecure. There is nothing wrong with looking fabulous over 40! Her toes look nice, her hair looks nice and she is not one of the same old stuffy shirts you normally see in politics.

Go Sarah, Go!

Oh my gosh - she looks great and I agree some women cannot get away with the college look or the funky nail polish but Palin can. She has a figure most women her age wish for and she is by no means, beastly looking like that other one that tries to be 21 again.

From this Kay, I'm guessing you're really old and outdated? Your thoughts/opionions are stale. Palin looks great!!! Are you related to that Blackwell guy? Look like him?

Kay, I have a question. What makes you the authority on what people should wear or how to wear their hair. Is that all you have to do??????????????????? Get a life.

Hey Kay....hate to tell ya but it's not one's age that determines what an individuals best hairstyle is....it's the shape of their face. I know quite a few 40+ women that look GREAT with longer hair, just as I know several under 40 that look better with mid to short hair lengths. Not that any of this really matters anyway ~ It's a shame that AOL could not have reported more on what she had to say about the very important topic of Autism.

I just turned 50 and I wear the same type of polish and have flowers on my big toes all summer. I get compliments all the time. Also my hair is past my shoulders and I get compliments on it as well. Just because your over 40 doesn't mean your dead. Good for her. Her toes look cute, especially with those shoes, or should she wear old lady shoes as well. Maybe you should try it, might lighten your attitude up a little

My wife is 50 and looks good with long hair and in a bikini. Why would anyone want to look like an old maid? Palen looks good and that makes a lot of ugly liberal chicks angry. Her message is far more important to us than her nail polish.

MY GOD YOU LIBERIALS HAVE NOTHING TO DO BUT NOW COMPLAIN ABOUT PALINS TOE NAIL POLISH. YOU ARE REALLY A BUNCH OF BORED STUPID PEOPLE WHO CANNOT PUT 2 SENTENCES TOGETHER AND VOTE IN A MUSLIM WHO IS RUINING OUR COUNTRY. WHY DON'T YOU DEMOCRAPS ALL GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND LEARN WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE INSTEAD OF USELESS COMPLAINING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO YOU COULD NOT BE THE TRACKS ON HER UNDERWEAR . YOU ARE SOOO LOW STUPID UNEDUCATED IDIOTS LIKE YOUR PRESIDENT WHO CANNOT TALK WITHOUT IT BEING WRITTEN DOWN IN FRONT OF HIM

Finally, someone has got it. I agree with you 100%. The liberals need to get off her back and go figure out what is REALLY important. I don't believe the liberals use their brain at all. If they did, the Country would be going a different direction than it is.

Oh, unlike YOUR woman, who couldn't even name what she reads? And who stuttered and stumbled her way through an international interview? Oh, wait. I remember---she's a Republican and therefore sits next to God and Jesus, and can do no wrong.

Your comments have poor grammar, mispelled words, poor sentence structure, etc. You are doing this is why you are calling people stupid who cannot put two sentences together. Try proof reading your words before hitting the send button. Also there is a lower case and upper case for a reason. Try it.

You are dumb! You think Obama is ruining our country?? No this destuction is all GEORGE W. BUSH'S fault, he's an idiot and he got away with 8 years of pure B.S.! You people are so miserable in your own lives that you just people based on their religion but you swear you are doing God's deed, don't make excuses, you need to let it go! Who did you want to win McCain???!!! If you did then you are on of the idiots you speak about, because he's just like GWB and he would have driven this country further into the ground, and he is old as dirt, he would not be able to keep with the issues of today's times.

How about....it's not liberals....but AOL...who writes these stupid devisive articles , just so hateful people like you can have a reason to spew that hatred... and you walked right into it...do you feel better that you got that off of your chest...
wow... you've got it bad. And by the way the President does not read his speeches, he delivers them brilliantly- after he writes them- can't handle it can you?

Sarah Palin is young, good looking and has charisma.
I like her. Unlike what is in the White House now she
has a bright side to her and it's a welcome relief for
all the b s that is going on. So if you don't like her
it's ok, that's what make America great. God Bless

I thinks it's great. It lets me know she is more down to earth like most of us common people who aren't involved with politics. There isn't anything wrong with expressing your self.
