Okay. I will state, first and foremost, I do not like Sarah Palin and her politics.
But I just saw her newsweek cover, whcih everyone is all a buzz about, and I have to say...what is the fuss about?
I thought she looked considerably better than Mischa Barton does on most gossip mags, a million times better than many recent snapshots of kate Moss, and compared to an un-retouched Mariah carey, like a goddess.
I think, if anything, this cover did her a favor. It showed her up close, personal, and like EVERY WOMAN. She has a few lines around her eyes and pores. But not even pores like mine are. Frankly, up close she looks as good as I do, I think, and I am 26.
If she had been retouched within an inch of her life, she would have been selling sex, which is not really what she aims to do. It's not what I want in a vice-president. Sexy is bad, bad, bad. It means you are having sex and that means you are not paying attention to the economy. frankly, I want her to be wearing less makeup becasue I think it takes her too long to get ready in the morning. Mrs. barak on the other hand, can take six hours to get ready if she wants, she is not my president. And yet she seems to wear a more understated look that makes me feel comfy with her.
The problem with Sarah Palin's image is that she IS a beauty queen and they want a sexy woman to sell her. But Hilary is often photographed in an unflattering light and looks much older and much less kempt and no one has said the media was unfair on her.
I'm sorry Republicans want Sarah to look even sexier than she is, I am sorry. But I do not think this newsweek cover hurt her in anyway. In fact, it made her a tad more likeable to me. If only she wuold be a REAL conservative woman and go back to her kitchen and keep her mouth shut...
