Newsbreak: Sarah Palin, What She Reads – Finally Her Beauty Shop Knows for Sure

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

They’re busy as bees at the Beehive Beauty Shop in Wasilla, AK, where Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin regularly gets her hair done. As they say, only your beautician knows for sure, or even other members in the shop know the intimate details about their clients. In a wowOwow exclusive, we finally learn what it is the vice-presidential nominee reads from beautician Roxanne.

WOW:
Tell us about Sarah Palin’s style. How would you describe her look?

BEEHIVE: We talk about it a lot with her. We’ve done half-up, half-down, all curls, just straight or even flipped out. We play around with it a lot to see what we really like.

WOW: Does the governor have good hair to play with?

BEEHIVE: Yep, she has awesome hair. And all her girls do too.

WOW:
Does she color it?

BEEHIVE:
Yep, there are some highlights and low-lights (a darker color).

WOW:
What is she like as a customer? Does she push her power around?

BEEHIVE: Awesome. She doesn’t come in and command that we do her hair, or give her official treatment. She makes her own appointment. She’s just another person. When Jessica — her stylist — is running late, she just sits there quietly. She finally has some downtime to hang out with her girls. Or, she’ll be on her BlackBerry, or she might pick up Bazaar, Vogue or People. We don’t really have any newspapers in here.

WOW: How long has she been a client?

BEEHIVE:
She used to come here when she was mayor and she came when she was doing all her beauty pageant stuff. 

WOW:
What’s the governor’s hair salon look like inside?

BEEHIVE:
We have six chairs. It’s really pink in here. And there are 15 chandeliers. It’s really chic!

WOW: Does Gov Palin ever get a beehive? Your namesake?

BEEHIVE: Well, it’s not exactly a beehive. They’re like giant! Beehives are for special events.

DRUM ROLLNOVEMBER 4th close to midnight — will there be a beehive on a nominated vice president? Stay tuned!

Griffs won, 5-3. Off to a potluck appearance, then to the Halloween thing. Don’t worry: on a diet. Have to be a good boy. :-(

E Z, T Z. I just watched the Grand Rapids Griffins beat the Hamilton Bulldogs, 5-3, in the Griffins’ home opener. Great ghame! Now, back home just long enough to roll tape on the Ohio State-Penn State clash. It’s 3-3 as I type; I’m heading out to a brief potluck appearance at St. Mary Magdelene’s, then to a Halloween bash in Wayland. Cheers.

Cheers, I hope you had a great time at the Halloween bash! Did you go in costume? Thanks for the laugh!!! Go bulldogs! I hope you enjoyed the Ohio State/Penn State game…I thought there would be more scoring…but I’m happy for Jo-Pa and the Nittany Lions!!!

Yeah, I went as a devil, believe or not! Penn State could very well run the table, now that’s gotten by Ohio State and Michigan. The Nittany Lions shouldn’t overlook Michigan State in the final regular-season game in late November, though.

Hey, James! How was the evening? Brings back memories. At this time of year, I think rather often about the hot rum cake dessert at “Herps”. I used to live in GR, when we had to have a tow-rope around a tree on hilltop to pull us up to classes! Great Scott, those were difficult daze! LOL No one believes me. Ask the Fire Chief if they remember the mass fire alarm from the medical residence on a very cold winter night, forcing everyone to evacuate in their PJs, and less, many holding only their beloved’s photos. (hee hee). Those were the daze, “my friends” (I used to hide!)

There was, indeed, an old Herpolsheimer’s downtown, and a Wurzburg’s in G.R. As a child, my father would drive me to Dr. Dick’s office atop McKay Tower to get my twice-monthly allergy shots. And Mom would go shopping downtown. It’s undergone major face-lifts since those days of the late 1960’s/early ’70s, and is now a beautiful downtown. The city’s new art museum opened up downtown last year, a Maya Lin amphitheatre is nearby, there is a spectacular convention center, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, the Van Andel Museum Center on Pearl Street, Van Andel Arena (for concerts, AHL hockey and AFL football). The hill you’re referring to is undoubtedly the Michigan Street hill that goes up to Spectrum-Butterworth Hospital. That’s in the Heartside District. I don’t know which school you attended up thataway?

I don’t think Sarah Palin wears a beehive in Alaska. She is an actress Govenor runniing for President in the United States of America. Scary stuff.

Hey wowwowwow, with your investigative skills can you find a salon in the US that offers the Economist, the New Criterion, the Atlantic, Foreign Affairs and maybe Der Spiegel for its customers? I know you can do it. Thanks!

Oh my God, thank God there’s a place for humor on one of these blogs! Everyone is so freakin’ serious. Chill and put your curlers on and open up People mag to see the latest on Hannah Montana.

When I am in the beauty shop and at the doctor’s I first read People, then I go for all of the gossip magazines I can find; it’s what all women do. And, you all that I am posting back and forth to on this site know what I read normally. You aren’t going to find Foreign Affairs and The Economist at the beauty parlor! p.s. I sneak peaks at National Enquirer Headlines at the grocery store counter, too…

Diana I do the same thing. It is the only chance I get for the gossips, mostly people and then head to good fashion. Since the revelation about John Edwards, I now check the headlines on the National Enquirer when I am in the checkout line. I worked for some actresses that used to read it, it made me giggle when they read it.

Frannie, Besides, the hairdressers that I have used over the years are just as faithful to me as I am to them, and would never “talk out of school” about me or any other clients. If I were Miss Sarah, I’d go somewhere else.

Diana I agree, but maybe they feel like one big family up there. I don’t know. She didn’t say anything negative or too wacky.

Nowadays, rags like the National Enquirer are scooping the so-called mainstream media…..and many times I can’t tell the difference between them, since even the cable TV networks jump on the trivial now in order to fill their 24/7 news voids.
