Excuse us, Sarah Palin, but are you slyly giving us the finger?
The casually dressed politician was spotted flaunting a makeup-free face while shopping in Anchorage earlier today, and while it may just be the way she decided to hold on to all of her things, it looks as though the former Alaska governor flipped the bird and discreetly gave cameras the middle finger.
Whether it was intentional or not, it happened. Well played, Palin.
The GOP Vice Presidential nominee's au naturel outing comes on the heels of her family's involvement in a drunken brawl at a snowmobile party in Alaska.

Hyperthermia is a symptom of methamphetamine (METH) intoxication and a factor implicated in neurotoxicity during chronic METH use. To characterize the thermic response to METH, it was injected once daily into rats at increasing doses (0, 1, 3, and 9 mg/kg, s.c.) while [...] temperatures were continuously monitored. METH produced dose-dependent hyperthermia, with brain structures (especially the NAcc) showing a more rapid and pronounced temperature increase than the muscle. At the highest dose, brain and body temperatures increased 3.54.0°C above basal levels and remained elevated for 35 hr.
Oh sorry ..... I forgot that Wasila used to be the meth capital of Alaska.
She still has good facial bone structure

(9,083 posts)I'm not really up on my drug culture, so I don't know much about meth face, but to me she doesn't look that bad. I hate her politics and her attitude, but I'm not going to diss her for going shopping with no makeup.
Codeine
(25,586 posts)Most people aren't going to look as good as her at that age.
To their credit most people will, however, be much more intelligent.

(16,350 posts)Even Sarah Palin. Please don't tell me a woman always has to wear makeup and, if she doesn't, she'll be publicly shamed and laughed at.
Sarah may or may not be flipping the bird. Hard to tell.
I am no fan of Sarah Palin. But this strikes me as a low blow and too excruciatingly personal for me to find amusing.
This is from someone who struggles every day with self-confidence in my physical appearance. Please don't hold it against a woman if her face isn't wash-and-wear perfect. I'm sure you don't mean it to be, but it's not fair and it's unkind.
Botany
(70,567 posts)I have no problem w/no make up and I think the media sells an unreal
ideal to women as to how they should look.

(498 posts)alone in that thinking. As the Clinton's used to say, and I paraphrase, any attention is a good thing.
To take this a step further, the only reason I know about what goes on in Fox (yes, I said fox not faux) news is from this site.
liberalhistorian
(20,819 posts)same thing. I cannot stand Palin and it's still so very frightening to think we were so close to having her as the person who's just a "heartbeat away" from being president, but I have to completely agree with you. Women should never be expected to be perfectly made up every single time they venture out from their home, that's a media-driven ideal that drives me batshit crazy. We are allowed to, at times, simply be ourselves. Many women actually look a lot better without makeup.

(22,871 posts)that a woman left her house without makeup is asinine and insulting.
Codeine
(25,586 posts)just stupid, petty, and unrelentingly banal.
sufrommich
(22,871 posts)that pays for pictures shaming famous women for being "unpresentable". I guess I should be surprised that it gets approval on a liberal forum,but I'm not.

hifiguy
(33,688 posts)but is it that hard to run a comb or a brush through your hair before going out in public?
Pretty spooky, though, Dobe.
joeglow3
(6,228 posts)hifiguy demands you meet a certain level of attractiveness after working out.
hifiguy
(33,688 posts)and used it after working out and showering, when I belonged to a gym. In fact there's always a comb in my back pocket.

(3,724 posts)Don't ever leave home, or the gym, or anywhere else for that matter, unless you are perfectly made up and coiffed. Got that??

(46,436 posts)and actually it's fairly common for women in Alaska to go makeup-free. This is a casual place. There are other things to criticize Sarah for without going there. This isn't Hollywood.
