A Veep V-Neck
Who says looks don’t matter in politics?
There’s a female on this year’s ballot in the form of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, so it’s creating some notable paraphernalia, thanks in part to Palin’s pleasant appearance and beauty pageant past.
On CafePress.com, you can buy a “Cold State, Hot Governor” sweatshirt or mug, or a “Sarah ‘Arctic Fox’ Palin” T-shirt (also: “Caribou Barbie”). There’s also a shirt featuring the silhouette of a woman gripping a “VP Palin” oil well with the words “I’d Drill That.”
This year’s must-have election item is HeroBuilders.com’s Sarah Palin action figure ($27.95), featuring the governor in a simple black suit. For $2 more, you can upgrade the figure to include Palin in a Lara Croft-like short white skirt, long black trench coat and holstered gun. Peace-loving Britney Spears fans might prefer Palin in a school-girl uniform — plaid skirt and knee-high stockings included. Naturally, all models come complete with a bee-hive hairdo, glasses and pit-bull differentiating lipstick. For pregnant women, there’s the “Palin Power” maternity shirt from CafePress.com.
Then it gets a bit more risqué. You may want to get your little one a cotton bib screened with a woman’s body — only this body has a red star strategically placed over the figure and an automatic rifle on its arm.For the bargain hunter, you can try eBay, where as of Tuesday afternoon, 1,193 Palin-themed items were up for bid.
Too bad Christmas falls after the election.
