Dear Ms. Palin
You have taken something of mine and made it your own. I am here to say I want it back. Don't deny it, you know what I'm talking about. Yes, that's right, you stole my look. You know, that look, the one where your hair is swept up, yet still falling across your face in a careless 'let's get this out of my way 'cause I am busy here' kind of attitude. Ok, yes a lot of women do that with their hair. But that is not all you are guilty of, because you then went out and bought square wire-rimmed glasses. And now everybody thinks you are the original. But I know the truth. You just wanted to look like me. And since it is your face that has been plastered all over the media, whenever I wear my glasses and put up my dark brown hair in a messy ponytail, I feel like a Palin wannabe. And people are noticing.
Just to set the record straight, when I first heard you were McCain's running mate, I respected you. I would never have voted for you because I don't believe there is a single issue we agree on. But I respected the fact that you were the governor of Alaska, and I didn't mind sharing a common look. Then you opened your mouth, and I started minding. Then you began speaking unscripted and I am now seriously considering going blonde or shaving my head.
I can't style my hair, Ms Palin. This messy upswept look is actually due to a complete lack of any styling ability. You on the other hand are a former beauty queen, hair spray is like your best friend. Why you can't you be a little more Clintonesque, or go for the coiffed Laura Bush look?
Just think about it,
Inger-Lis

That is brilliant :-)
That was really funny Inger-Lis.
That is FUNNY! You should post a picture of the two of you side by side. I hope her hair doesn't become another "The Rachel Do".
Hi- I cam e over her from your dad's blog. This cracked me up!
I considered posting pictures of us, in fact I debated for a really long time over it. However you all know how I can't stand pictures of myself, so in the end my ego won out.
This is the best post, I have read in the last few days- hilarious, crisp and totally on target. Just came back from my travels and found your post which has provided me much needed laughter after two intense days of conferences...
I knew you it! As I have said before, you have tremendous writing potential- keep it up and don't stop now and for what it is worth, I say this both as an avid lover of humorous writing and a professional editor...
Thanks for all the positive feedback folks! I am basking in it! As evidenced by my previous post, I needed to feel the love...
Very Nice. found you thru your Dad blog too. I will have to come back more often now :) Great Post!
LOL! Very funny! I'm afraid it may only get worse, though, after the debate this week...
