The XX Factor: What women really think.

Accessorize, Palin-Style

Susannah, you remind of the good old days. Meaning the early '90s, when the Independent Women's Forum was just getting started, and they would celebrate every minor anniversary at a local shooting range. Only they were city girls for the most part, or aspiring city girls. So Ann Coulter would gamely trek out to the range in her size 0 jodhpurs, and Laura Ingraham in her tight skirts, and they would aim but the birdies would all just go plopping down.

Although, to keep with our theme of yesterday, Sarah Palin owns this one, too.

As for the high clothing bill. Come on, girls. You are suddenly picked to be the VP candidate. You have to do about a million public appearances a week. You need to wear something, and so does your large family. It doesn't seem excessive to me. It's like the average clothing allowance of a Conde Nast editor, who mostly just goes to the office.
