Maybe it's the power suits? To me, Tina Fey looks much hotter as→[More:] Sarah Palin than she does in, for instance, 30 Rock. And much hotter than S.P. in both cases, of course.
It's because Tina Fey's bone structure is a little more angular. Also, she does not have actual poison running through her veins, which gives Sarah Palin her distinctive glow of perky, putrescent evil.
Given the latest depths to which the McCain/Palin campaign sank today, I'm hoping that SNL's next Sarah Palin sketch involves either white sheets or the Reichstag fire.
How about little tailored dresses? Like Hello sailoress or, va-va-voom red details! (the only reason I'm not buying these is the dang shipping+tax to europe thing)
And oh yes Specklet, if I was rich I'd be special ordering squareish little pumps. I have one pair that I'm loving to death but they are oh-so-hard to find.
I haven't calculated the rate + import tax (I'm kinda broke so I'm trying to convince myself to not shop!) but yeah, they seem pretty nicely priced. Then the trick is only, will it fit? :)
Eh, it's not a good time for anyone to get spendy, but always good to find a good tailor, maybe even figure out some simple stuff yourself. (Simple alterations are supposedly pretty cheap over here.)
It's something i'm getting to after i make myself plow through that has already been waiting to get done--
oh, ha huh hah ha. Funny how such things can tap impatient feet and get so very dusty.
And much hotter than S.P. in both cases, of course.
I'll admit to being a little enthralled by Palin's appearance during the debate. My groin is hard-wired to respond to those winks, it seems, despite whatever message my brain is simultaneously sending it.
Palin's blush during the debate was distraction. Too brown, too severe against her high checkbones- from head on, she kinda had the facial proportions of a skeleton.
I suppose this is the thread where I can admit that I find her beautiful and am totally jealous of her hair. I want to go to work events in my power suit with perfect up-dos. Alas, whenever I try to give myself some volume in an updo, it's flat by the time I get wherever I'm going.
I am actually baffled that people find her attractive. I think she's rather plain looking. She's "put together," but not really beautiful. She looks like every middle-aged real estate lady who puts a glamour shot in their ads.
And you could all have that hair if you'd just invest in a Topsy Tail.
I do think Palin is attractive. Tina Fey is funny (always hot), and like many actresses, petite, so her bone structure is finer - she's more what like we're used to seeing women look like on TV. So, yes,she makes a totally hot Palin. And it just SLAYS me when she steps up on that box to appear Palin tall behind the podium.
I also find Obama easy on the eyes, so I think the McCampain considered this charisma factor. I don't have groinal reactions to him, but he is camera friendly in a way that we're not terribly used to seeing from a politician.
I can't help but think what Hillary must be feeling. It must be a junior high feeling. Hillary is not un-attractive, just normal looking, but so smart and, you know, not batshizzle. I hope she's very very strong indeed, because I would be seething in her shoes and quickly headed to rehab over this Palin woman.
i'm with jrossi. She's "not unattractive" so there's no superficial hook for the media, but someone has to be unusually stunning to counteract the effect of opening their mouth and leaking out the stupid/crazy/ugly/etc.
A couple of the women in my office (both Obama supporters, both early-20s) have plastered their cubes with "young McCain pinup" photos. I find it very strange. I can see one of them finding Mr. Navy attractive, but two (of about a dozen employees)?
dano, McCain in this picture does look good. But you know, everyone has one photo in their album where, through a trick of the light, camera angle, whatever, they end up looking much hotter than they've ever done before and ever will again. For McCain that was that one picture.
That's one of the pics they have up, ej ('plastered' is an exaggeration, they have maybe 2-3 each). From the way they talk, eth, I don't think it's a joke.
He's always been a "ladies' man."
i've seen pictures of young George Senior where he looked decent.
Look, ever since television, sans tampering, the tall guy wins.
Just don't vote with your groin.
Just for sanitary reasons.
i think they tell you that when you get there.
