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.

"Sarah Palin Brings Back the Corsage at Alaskan Anniversary Ball"?????????????

So what??????????

Did the real editor take the day off?

[Novelene]

Ewwwww. Somebody needs a manicure. The thumb problem looks like fungus, as does the index finger. Seriously.

[haval2]

who cares...sh­e's old news and goofy enough to think the floral shop on the wrist is cool.

[marc1antony]

you read my mind. ;)

[psfurlong356]

the guy, 4th from the right, needs a thought bubble.

[gintheb]

This is getting ridiculous now. You guys are reporting on Sarah Palin more than Fox is. Who is your editor Pat Buchanan?

[VOTER]

Best Line so far!

[PazPraSempre]

Forget the corsage. That outfit is atrocious and belongs back in 1986.
And what is it with that giant, gawdy Alaska pin she always wears?

[maumeeone]

She probably got it from her fave consignment shop. You know, she does like to play dess-up with all them Alaskan society mavens' cast-offs. Gee, I just had another thought...­Do you suppose she might have a cee-ment pond?

[Forester]

Those geezers are getting off on her. nice

[Srkdqltr]

What is the point? This "story" is a dreadful waste of bandwidth.

[mssreader]

my oh my, 2 pins, earrings, a big bracelet, glasses AND a corsage and that horrible dress! How tacky. She certainly needs at least one stylist and some new clothes. She should study the new first lady!

[Haditup2here]

Okay, this is ridiculous. It is almost as if huffpost is scrounging for anything on Sarah Palin !!

[Jules1]

Broken off fake nails, OMG!!! and a bandage on her thumb.....­..........

[SteveL]

Anyone else tired of all the attention for this Alaska Valley Girl?

[tiajudita]

So much for the fashion diva. And she should have spent some of the 150K on a manicure.

[AnotherMike]

I hate myself for clicking on this "story."

[GoldenGirl19]

LOL

[honeydiva]

wth is she wearing? after her book deal she should employ a stylist full time.

[Novelene]

OMG. I just realized a book deal is going to mean a book tour. No, please, no!
