The Sarah Palin Look-A-Like Contest, Get Your Buns, Guns, Glasses, Bangs, Pantsuits, Excessive Lipstick, Hockey Sticks, Babies, And Fur Ready!

sarah palin comparisonFavorite email of the day: Jonah Green, video producer at New York Magazine, and Sam Henig, a writer for Newsweek and Slate are throwing a Sarah Palin look-alike contest/party this weekend. The contest will be judged by Max Short of GQ and catapults these three into my heart.  Their email below:

What an inspiration. If not as a leader, then at least as a fashion icon. The hair! The glasses! The cute gun accessorizing!

In honor of McCain’s vice presidential pick, join us this Saturday for “Palin Comparison,” a Sarah Palin look-alike contest. Be creative: if you don’t have thick brown hair and Tina Fey glasses to work with, perhaps you have a freshly slaughtered moose, or a special needs baby. And what’s a hockey mom (aka pitbull with lipstick) without a few hockey players?

-

So come to Arrow at 85 Avenue A between 5th and 6th streets at 10pm this Saturday, Sept 6, in your best Palin garb. Let loose your closeted GOP fetish, your secret hunting lust, your inner sexy librarian/hockey-player baby-daddy. Free drinks and fun prizes will be awarded in multiple categories.

See you there.

Jonah and Sam

    Want That “Palin Look”…

    The frame that has received the most publicity is the Kazuo Kawasaki #704.

    USA Today ran a story in print and online yesterday called “Palin Has Created Quite A Stir… With Her Designer Glasses” which has generated a TON of new customers seeking out Italee brands.

    I’m an optician in Salt Lake City, Utah of 35 years. I own East Millcreek Eyewear, an optical boutique that specializes in the latest eyewear trends, including the Kazuo Kawasaki series.

    Visit our website, email, or call to find out more about how we can customize a frame for you.
