Sarah Palin Brings Back The Corsage At Alaska Anniversary Ball

It's been about 26 years since Sarah Palin attended her high school prom, but that didn't stop her from sporting a corsage at a celebration for Alaska's 50th anniversary on Friday night. Below, Palin, wearing a pink and black ensemble with the white wrist corsage in question, sits for a photograph with past Alaska governors.

What kind of flower could it be? A gardenia? A white rose? One thing's for certain: it does not appear to be Alaska's state flower, the Forget-Me-Not.

Let's see the republican lemming take up the corsage fad.

This was in our local paper in Anchorage. We're getting a little fatigued at her big Alaska pin. she's actually trying to make us think she puts Alaska first. Right.

Yikes! Look what happens when you don't have a well paid stylist to keep you looking up-to-date!

I don't think I have ever read a news article about a corsage... Why? Because corsage does NOT = news!!!! No matter who is wearing it.

[roblabrousse]

I just want to know where are the flowers for the other governors? Boutonnieres or corsages!!! This reeks of something!!! Sexism!!! That's it!! "Corsage Gate!!" Is she really worth that much to us? Do we really have to be reminded how insipid she is? When it's really noteworthy like she's going to prison for fraud. Or she's being impeached . Or even if she's found naked in the woods with Rev Muthee and the rest of her cabal exorcising politically incorrect witches. Then put in the news. Meanwhile just let the two-faced vixen gather dust in Alaska. Thank You

For those who have had enough of Palin.....­.Why don't you read some other artical?

I came to this page to say this: ENOUGH with Sarah Palin. Please Huffpo, enough already. Unless she makes SERIOUS news, I don't even want her name mentioned. PLEASE. Thank you.

[GrainneKathleen]

DITTO!!!

[coco51]

can huffpo please stop with the Palin news...as nighttime-­pajama-wea­ring, living in my own apartment blog reader, there has to be more important persons and events occurring in the world for me to learn about. b-t-w, the thumb "injury" - rose corsage inflicted.

ENOUGH WITH THE PALIN NEWS PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!

[Bitsko]

We are all so over this political hack. Next topic, please.

[arizonastudent01]

Weird! Weird! Weird! What the heck is that picture one woman many men. Eeewww!!! No more p. please.

It's a darn good thing for her she's not from North or South Carolina, or even West Virginia . Imagine the massive weight of her preferred state advertisement.

I just had to look at this article to see what it was about--the headline was a tease. You have wasted space; there's no story. Many women wear corsages to events. ANYTHING Palin does becomes "news"? I think not!

[Ugonna]

you guys (HuffPost) need to take a hard look at yourselves. You're a liberal blog obsessed with Palin. I come to the style section, and immediately see 4 stories and pictures having to do with Sarah Palin. You guys are justifying her opinion that she still matters. Shame on HuffPost.

[Omidal]

Am i glad that she is not mentioned much anymore.

I hope it stays that way.
