Thrift Store Owner Recalls Palin's Clothing

Rate: 8 Flag
















AP - Anchorage
   The owner of Anchorage's now famous resale clothing shop has publicly asked Sarah Palin to stop wearing the clothes purchased at her store.
   "It's embarrassing," explained Ellen Arvold, the proprietress of Out of the Closet, "and it's hurting my business. The things she's wearing, the dominatrix boots and severe little jackets, they're for cross-dressers."
   The consignment shop caters to Alaska's older heterosexual male population who enjoy dressing as women. "Most of our business is online, but I keep the storefront open for locals. I thought Governor Palin wanted the clothes for her husband, Todd. I don't ask questions. Live and let live is my motto."
  Arvold became concerned when she saw items purchased at her shop on national television. "I thought to myself, wait a darned minute. What the hell is she wearing? And now my business is down by half. She's killing me. None of my clients want to dress like her. They're freaks, but they're not stupid."

Oh God Liz, I swear, if I weren't married, I's marry you! That's the funniest thing I've seen in a week. "Geeesh, she didn't have to get all icky on me Tadd. That's heeearsh! Golly gee, and holy moly."

This is a joke, right?

Just when you think this thing can't possibly get any crazier...

...although at this point, I might as well just wait until tomorrow to see what new low the day brings.

I laughed so hard I nearly set off neighborhood car alarms! This is beyond inspired.
Of course the very concept of "the ice-queen of obedience" adds whole new dimensions to that "tasergate" issue. (grin)

Anything I can do to help elevate this, I'll do. Thanks.

The name "Out of the Closet" always seemed a bit of entendre, but then I don't know exurban Anchorage the way Sarah Palin seems (or seemed) to.

Good on ya for bringing this to OS light.

Your customers may be freaks, but not stupid, but you have earned the right to be considered both. I assumed that Salon contributors, if nothing else , would be tolerant of cross-dressing hetero-males. But more important, is this topic really of any consequence? Or is it, rather, another attempt to dimish a candidate to an even lower status than that enjoyed by your "champion." BTW, it's none of my clients "wants" to dress like her.
