So you know how Sarah Palin spent so much on clothes that the RNC had to say, "Hey, it's okay, they're all going to be donated"? Yeah, apparently it hasn't happened. More »

The British accounting firm of Ernst and Young recently held a voluntary workshop for its female employees to teach them how to dress appropriately for work. Reports the Telegraph, "Fleur Bothwick, head of diversity at the firm, said that while men could simply opt for a uniform of dark suit and tie, officewear was more fraught for women." Accordingly, the 400 women who showed up were told not to wear heavy perfume or low-cut tops or carry evening bags to the office, and given a lecture on their best colors. From Sarah Palin's fashiongate to stories like these, we've been hearing a lot about the double standard applied to women in the workplace. Weirdly, more and more it seems like the message is, "as long as it's there, let's use it to our advantage!" More »

• We spent way too much time talking about Sarah Palin's sexy secretary garb and how much it cost and/or did not cost. But what we really want to know is how Palin gets her hair so big. Maybe her bouffant is built out of campaign secrets and the souls of unborn babies.
• Maybe all Sarah needs is a good talking to from Tyra and Judge Judy. Then she'd learn to keep her receipts in order!
• She has about as much sense as these crazy cat people. (We kid, we love them.)
• But probably a lot more sense than Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whose t-shirt wearing antics have torn The View asunder.
• Breaking: Goop makes us gassy.

Now things are just getting weird. Sarah Palin's claiming she didn't spend $150 grand on wardrobe — evidence to the contrary be damned. And that all this fuss is just an expression of sexism! But the really strange part? Now some of the alleged retailers are claiming they never sold anything to the campaign. So...where did the money go? Who's lying? And...what the hell? More »

Since the world learned that hypocritical hockey mom heroine Sarah Palin has spent $150 grand of RNC cash at high-end department stores for herself and her family at a crucial point in the campaign — to say nothing of an economic recession — an overwhelming amount of ink, thought and Texas Instruments battery power has been spilled on reporting, analyzing, deconstructing, undressing, calculating, replicating and critiquing what's come to be known, in the unavoidable parlance of our times, as "Fashiongate." Well, here's our guide to the Spree of the Century: More »
