Are you kidding me?
Disclaimer: this rant has nothing to do with the article that sparked it. Further, it has nothing to do with the people over at Retail Design Diva; in fact I hold them in pretty high regard and consider a lot of their postings extremely valuable.
However, they did bring something to my attention that I was not aware of. People are following Sarah Palin for their fashion advice.
Are you freaking kidding me?
Are we so zoned-out and insensitive to the issues in this country that we watch a debate to see what Palin is wearing so that we know what shoes are going to be popular and how we should all start wearing our hair?
I wonder if the Republicans know and truly understand the power in this movement. Women (and maybe men, not sure) following her to get advice on clothes, shoes, and hair. FOLLOW HER.
If the Republican Party had half a brain, they could really capitalize on this. Why not start a Palin blog on fashion and where she gets her clothes and tips? Imagine the herd of people following her? What a way to get in front of potential voters every day about what they care about….fashion and clothes?
How powerful is this? Powerful enough that I am not sure it will happen. But what if it did? What if they used social media? It might be too late, but if she ever wants to run for office, she should start her blog now. In fact:
“Hey, Palin, want me to start your blog?”
*I might be underestimating a lot of people, and I apologize to those who do follow politics and carefully weigh each candidate and question some of the issues and promises they make.*
