Sarah's Sexy Hair: A Desperate Bid For Votes? (SLIDESHOW)

**SCROLL DOWN FOR SLIDESHOW**

It looks like Sarah Palin has traded in her schoolmarm hair for something a little more sexy: loose locks. Why the sudden switch?

Palin's hometown hairdresser, Jessica J. Steele of Wasilla's Beehive Beauty Shop, told The New York Times that the governor is very hair-aware.

"She's very involved in her look and how she's perceived," Mrs. Steele said. "We would talk a lot about how if she looked too pretty or too sexy, people wouldn't listen to her. How important it was for people to see her as an intelligent, smart woman. It was comical when her hair was down, how big a difference that would make, especially when she was running for governor."

So what kind of effect will wearing her hair down have now? Could this be a last-ditch effort to boost her sagging popularity?

It looks much better, and I actually take her more "seriously" with it down. As serious as you can take a half-baked Alaskan (love that one!)

[rachel88]

Well she might be hateful, unqualified, moronic, ignorant, and abusiv of her power, but for what it's worth she really does have gorgeous hair.

[Duhhhhh]

How pathetic that you have something about people who went to college.

I take it you didn't go to college?
If you didn't, then where'd you get the doobie - cause you been smokin' SUMTIN'.

[Duhhhhh]

I went to college to SELL doobies to ppl like u and Bill Clinton (who didn't inhale of course!)

Sarah bless her little pee picking heart reminds me of the student running for class Vice President. There will be a movie "National Lampoons, Sarah's Quest for Classless Vice President"

[VegasGurl]

Red high heeled pumps, lipstick and sexy hair does not qualify one to be a Vice Presidential candidate.

I'm not interested in Sarah Palin's hair style. I am interested in her honesty and her character. Whatever happened to the Associated Press investigation of her term as mayor. She claimed she was anti-establishment but it shows she WAS the establishment. She sought and received "favors" that aided her business. Sought and received a no sales tax on snow machines when her husband sold snow machines. Sought and received zoning exceptions for herself and her friends. Failed to tear down a garage that was a fire hazard to a neighbor's home when she received zoning exceptions for a house they were selling. Her "sounds good to me" should be looked upon with question. Thanks for letting a woman vent. I sure don't want her in the White House.

It is so sad that because Sara Palin is a woman, we all find the need to analyze such meaningless characteristics such as hair styles to decide whether or not she has a hidden motive to win this campaign. I say, anyone who is shallow and immature enough to decide on a president/vice president based on "how they sound or whether or not they "look presidential" should not even be allowed to vote. There are too many other important characteristics we should be considering, experience, honesty, intelligence, national security, foreign policy and economic policy experience and know how and the list goes on.

Let's be honest. There's not really anything else to go off of. We're dealing with a person with any substance here. She makes W. actually look competent. Really, when I see Bush on tv after Gov. Nitwit, I actually feel as if I'm watching a legitimate figure. Amazing in its own right. If she's the repub. answer for the future, I think we can all rest easy. Unless Jesus assigns her to a leadership position when he lands on Earth next year.

What is in Obama's ear? Any picture capturing the side of Obama, before the candidates took their seats for the debate, shows something in his ear. What could possibly be in Barack Obama's ear during a debate?

[MoonRiver9]

Maybe John McCain should get a Beatle wig ???

[smhc]

So many of these comments are so gross and low class. Ariana you should be so proud of the blog that you've encouraged here. Disgusting and insulting. This is what our society has become -- degrading and filthy.

Thanks Ariana -- you do feminism proud!

[smhc]

Ariana Huffington, please!! Who do you think you are with this rag? Let's see if we can send see what Arian's beauty shop bills are? How much does she spend on her treatments and surgeries and wardrobe!

This is so offensively SEXIST it's out of control!

[Pupadup4oBama]

iF you don't like it - you don't have to read/look.
Lighten up - it's a little mindless fun in an otherwise dreary situation.

SEXY HAIR ATTEMPT TO MAKE BRAIN LOOK BIGGER. (read below)

A psychologist at Op Ed New writes:

Having devoted over 30 years of my life to the practice of psychology, I was shocked to discover the actual extent of Sarah Palin's diminished intellect, although hardly surprised, that she is developmentally challenged.

Her 83 full scale Wechsler I.Q. reported when she was 18-years-old places her in a range described at that time as Dull Normal and, in fact, 83 was just slightly above the range labeled Borderline Retarded (70- 80 I.Q.).

Her SAT scores were also in the expected range,thus serving to confirm her I.Q: Mid-30s Percentiles with 50 per centile being average. Careful analysis of her resume cited above reveals similar deficiencies in most every area of her life; 2.2 high school grade average, dropping out of college 5 times before finally receiving a degree after six years from the fifth college she attended, consulting with Kenyan witch doctors, failed mayorality of Wasilla, erratic beliefs regarding the earth being but 6000 years old and Jesus co-existing with dinosaurs, etc.m etc., etc.

The fact John McCain was so instantly captivated by her undoubtedly speaks to his having graduated 894th of 899 in his class and later having " lost " 5 aircraft he was piloting during his naval aviation career.
