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.

Aren't her fifteen minutes up yet? On second thought, keep the Sarahahaha stuff coming.

The top is the same thing she wore to her inaugural ball in 2006.

I'm surprised the SP mavens at Huffington Post didn't catch this.

Wow, good research!

[JulieSA]

You people are obsessed.

[Ms Fu]

The prom picture is adorable. However, the Alaska Anniversary Ball outfit sort of justifies spending $150,000.

[flydoghead]

This should end the outrage over her $150,000 spending spree

Please spend more !!!!!

She needs bailout worst than GM needs a bailout.

If this is her styling without the $15,000 a week crew then bring them back !!! Please !!

[polkadotpoodle]

she no longer has her entourage of stylists..­...and is still a train wreck.....­but wait with the book deal she can not only have her stylists back she can amass a bankroll for future political ambitions.­...listen up all publishers, don't waste the trees or send some poor ghost writer into the depths of depression!

[just4shiggles]

She is tasteless and I am speechless about this topic.

[JulieSA]

Doesn't stop you being a catty gossip, though.

[DeeDeeDaGumby]

and here you troll among us name calling. what does that make you?

[ScoobyDoo269]

WOW - her wedding ring is back too - I guess she took it out of McCain's Nose.

The flower is to try and cover the Stench she carries from the Election.

[nervousexpat]

Man! Her entire look is soooo stuck in the '80s! You'd think she would have learned SOMETHING about style during her whirlwind tour - errrrr.. I mean campaign.

[MikeCanada]

did EVERYONE have one of those awful rattan chairs in the 80's???

[Herkybird]

I sure as hell didn't. Nor did I have one in the 70's or the 90's. Probably something that fell of a Russian plane as he floated above Alaska one of those times.

[sawbuck]

who gives a crap. why is the huffpost wasting time on this has been, never was???

[Adrasteia]

The Wasillabilly!

[SuesW]

Well, I don't like the woman but I thought she looked nice. There are so many ways to discredit her, why waste time on her clothes?

[Herkybird]

Looked nice?? You are just jealous that she is wearing a $10,000 dress! One that was overlooked during the search of her home by the MCSame police! LOL!

[QuietLightTraveler]

Listen, enough about this abberation of humanity. We have heard enough. It's boring.

[weatherwaxx]

Her new career: cover model for a daring line of bodice-rippers for the over-40 woman.

REAL NEWS, PLZ!

[mcliberty]

why is she sitting?

[ScoobyDoo269]

Cause only REAL Men stand!
