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.

If you look at her bandaged thumb in the close up of the corsage, you can see just a dab of "MOOSE CHILI" she made on her "NEW" cooking show, which premiered last week on the Network news.

She may have cut it, adjusting the "Carb" on the "Snow Machine!"

Doesn't she look a little ... stuffed ... into her costume? Wonder if this is one of the duds that she's been hiding from the RNC? Personally, I've seen better looking eggplants than Ms. Palin (and probably smarter, too).

Why won't this stupid stupid woman just GO AWAY??

[bmwracer]

Uh, why is HuffPo continuing to give this person space on this site?

What a waste.

So the top picture is not a gang bang you say.....

[JulieSA]

Seriously? Someone wearing a corsage is news? What a bizarre thing to even notice. HuffPo is mentally ill/

[hortonhearsawho]

When both you and your 17 year old have been nailed pre-prom, yes it appears as odd.

[JulieSA]

This is news?

HuffPo is obsessed with Palin. It's kind of creepy. I see more Palin stories here than I do on pro-Palin Republican websites. It's weird.

It's sexist to always be harping on a female candidate's clothes, too. It would be good someday if the media would set some standards for itself and become post-gender in its political coverage. Women will never have equality until this happens.

She's not interesting anymore, she's a washed up has been. Time to move on

I must be the dumbest person on the block. For the life of me I can't understand
why something like this is even worth the space.
Enough allready

ENOUGH of Sarah Palin! She's a has-been. Let the image of her die an ignominious death.

Check out the close-up of the hands. Doesn't it look like a you-know-what wearing a you-know-what with a reservoir end?

[plzchuteme]

I see Sarah is back clothes shopping at Walmart.
