Speculation- Why is Palin wearing all white two days in a row, in October?
Edited on Tue Oct-07-08 03:12 PM by cryingshame
She apparently went through hundreds of eyeglass frames to find -JUST- the right ones.

She knows the import of packaging. Her puppet masters know the import of packaging.

So to be clear, this isn't about nitpicking a woman's appearance. It's looking for the reason behind the symbolism or public appearance.

She isn't just throwing any old frock on.

It's highly unusual for anyone to wear full-white this late into Autumn.

December- yes. I wear it with green. But then, that's not full-white

As a former beauty contest participant, she almost certainly knows that. Her handlers do, too.

Last thing I noticed about her wardrobe was when she sported what looked like an S.S. uniform from a last century. Yes, it did really look like that.

There's only a few symbolic occasions to wear all-white.

One of them:

Nurse

Or being re-virginized? So many ceremonies, so little time.

5. It's unusual to wear all white at any time (unless one is a bride or taking first communion).
To wear all white two days in a row to public events is indeed curious.

6. It is weird. She doesn't normally dress that way. And most women
don't wear all-white--too easy to sit on a spot of dirt, or get smudged in some way.

like a sore thumb.

Sorry but I haven't seen any of those women wearing full-white in Manhattan. Unless you mean out in the Hamptons. But they aren't here either.

She probably changes a couple of times a day, so they can freshen her stanky clothes.

38. Naval Officer
I have photos of my dad (career Navy) and the only time I see him in "dress whites" is during formal ceremonies. Most photos of him he's in khaki.

Aren't the "dress whites" reserved for formal ceremonies only? He died before I was two so I didn't learn too much about Navy protocol from him...

Someone care to enlighten me?

My brother is a Naval officer. I will be attending his Change of Command in November. He will certainly be wearing whites.

I find it very strange that in all her appearances before now she has never worn white. I think it's a subtle message intended for specific people. I believe these people are calculating and they know exactly the message they are relaying.

44. There are NO accidents. She has a full time image/pol consultant. They chose it for obvious reasons.
They are, I guarantee it, trying to court the racist Southern vote. ALl she is missing in the pointy hood. I mean this in all seriousness. they are using dog whistles a plenty trying to scrape back into North Carolina.

Fuck them all.

I have NEVER seen ONE pic of Palin from the past wearing ALL WHITE. Has anyone here???

52. I do agree.
I think many are not aware how racist this campaign is. I have said continually that I truly believe McCain picked Palin to pander to the racists of this country.

McCain has been courting bigots from day one. He has tried to benefit from dividing this country. What a hero.

They usually wear "White Pride T-Shirts."

It is most certainly not an accident.

58. question: why does anyone give a flying fuck?
First, as best I can tell from the news photos, she wasn't wearing "all white" either yesterday or today. Today it appears to be a white blazer over a black dress. Yesterday it was a white top and a black skirt.

Second, why do we care? Would we like her more if she wore nancy reagan red everywhere? Hot pink?
