1) I’m not sick of Palin yet. I can’t get enough. My favorite Palin story of the day comes from the WSJ titled “Palin’s Style Sparks Buying Frenzy.” Not only are people rushing to buy her choice of shoes (which the company says btw are geared toward women in their early-20’s who like to go clubbing) but also Palin inspired wigs “ranging in price from $100 to the ‘Bargain Sarah Palin’ wig for $46.”
This is the sort of VP we need – someone who can spark the economy through fashion.
2) Other Palin insights came from the Early Show this morning where they had a body language expert critique her interview w/ Gibson. I couldn’t see the segment b/c our analog tv reception wasn’t coming in clear (I really gotta get that converter box) but I could hear. I learned that Palin slouched, was defensive, unconfident, nodded yes when saying no, clenched her fists, and moved her arms too much making it difficult to tell when she was saying something important. Overall the expert gave her a 5 out of 10.
3) We watched the Forum on Public Service speeches from Panino Spiritivo after Columbia wouldn’t let anyone not smart enough to go there into the courtyard to watch on the big screen. Most of McCain’s speech was a blur b/c I tend to not hear anything when he talks. I can see his mouth moving but its like nothing registers. My favorite though was when he said that mayors have THE toughest job in America. Obama later summed up the challenges of being a mayor – “they have to make sure that potholes get filled and trees get trimmed.”
4) I’m going to go to one of Target’s pop-up designer stores over my lunch hour today. They designed 4 Manhattan storefronts to look like bodegas and are selling all their designer stuff before shipping them to the regular stores. They’re only open for 3 days, which seems pretty ridiculous. Not really economy of scales type thinking. But I’m excited anyway.
