Sarah Palin's Sexy Stockings

Need some lingerie shopping help? Here it is. Sarah Palin's $150,000 shopping spree courtesy of the GOP makeover machine focused attention on the Valentino jackets and pencil skirts,  but plenty of money was spent on high heels, intimate apparel, lingerie, and pantyhose. Poor woman does not look she will be making a comeback soon. Newt Gingrich doesn't like, and she flunked the Matt Lauer interview.

A certain amount of legwork is required if you're going to find out what intimate apparel Sarah Palin bought at Neiman Marcus, Macy's, and Bloomingdales. If you had access to them, the credit card receipts would bare all. Or you could befriend the responsible salesperson, have a fact-finding chat over latte and gingerbread cookies. 

Stockingirl bra and panty set for Sarah Palin

Or you could write a simple program feeding in the known information about Sarah Palin's clothing tastes and buying habits, the GOP's clothing requirements for a VP candidate, the Neiman Marcus lingerie collection, and the lingerie choices of women who also buy Valentino and Escada outfits. Combine all that, tweak it with technical wizardry, and before you, with pinpoint accuracy, are Palin's picks of intimate apparel.

Gov. Palin's maverick streak extends to her outfit choices. A 44-year-old governor in the public eye would not normally choose Naughty Monkey high heels. They're the choice of 20-something starlets like Paris Hilton, which tells gov. Palin has not been guided by style gurus for very long. 

Bold self-confidence can help you make a bundle of wrong choices, and pre-election Palin certainly made a number of awful fashion picks: wrong colors, shapeless outfits, wild and unflattering prints.

A woman in her position, undoubtedly sexy and attractive but also a rough diamond, is going to feel insecure and out of her depth when confronted by New York and Washington style consultants who insist they know what's right and wrong for you.

The tendency is to go with the flow, play it safe, throwing in maverick elements when the minders are not watching. How else can we explain Palin's penchant for bright red leather jackets, ideal on a young actress at a vernissage, but not on a serious woman politician in her 40s. We are sure, also, that Palin rebelled against being kitted out in Oscar de la Renta. It's is too closely associated with Laura Bush and is, well, rather predictable and a shade dull. Palin wanted to go her own way: Stella McCartney; Valentino; Escada; Giuliana Teso; Stockingirl.

Her lingerie and intimate apparel choices are Simone Perele, Chantelle, with a dash of maverick in the shape of Commando's tiny thong, Sassybax tops, Spanx black tights, and, of course, the ever-present Naughty Monkey.
