Palin in June *pic*

[pkz]

obviously she NEEDED the new rags

[me b zola]

1. She looks like a hockey mom to me (with the exception of the up-doo)

And if that is what she is going to sell herself as, that is what she needs to look like.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

2. WTF is that schmata (rag) she's wearing?

[pkz]

3. I can't figure out what is on her legs. n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. I tried to figure that out too and just gave up. :)

11. Looks like maybe Uggs

4. That top looks like it was meant to hide the extra baby weight.

It looks like a pajama top.

5. Yup, there's the future leader of the free world

:cry:

6. Actually, what she's wearing is a traditional Inupiat dress. Which is rather interesting...

When I lived in Alaska, I don't recall very many white women wearing this style. But maybe it's because Todd Palin is part Alaska Native (I don't know whether he's of Inupiat or Yupik heritage -- the two main groups of Alaskan so-called "eskimos").

[merh]

9. Isn't he Yupik?

:shrug:

12. I have no idea. I haven't really paid much attention to Todd Palin's bloodline.

My only point was, what Sarah is wearing is actually a very common Alaskan garment among certain segments of the Native population. I wish I could remember what it's called -- it has a particular name -- but I left Alaska in 1995, and I'm getting old, so the name just isn't coming to me... :P

13. don't know the name of the dress, but it has a dirndl skirt

14. Here's a link to a photo of some Inupiat youngsters showing some of the girls in that kind of dress:

(I've been madly searching for a site that would mention the name of that garment -- I used to know it, dammit!)
