Palin's Icebreaker Pose
November 18, 2009, 10:01 am / Categories: Apparel
Not only can former Governor Sarah Palin see Russia, but apparently she can see New Zealand, too. That’s according to Icebreaker, the New Zealand-based wool clothing maker who released a press statement this morning about Palin appearing on the cover of the Nov. 23 Newsweek magazine wearing Icebreaker’s Long Sleeve Chase Zip.
Icebreaker states it’s the first major U.S. magazine cover to feature the small apparel company’s product. In the statement, the company wrote “It’s great Ms. Palin has discovered the benefits of running in natural, sustainable Icebreaker merino, which doesn’t hold odor like synthetic running tops (made from oil). As opposed to the ‘Drill Baby Drill’ mantra of the last U.S. election cycle, Icebreaker has been campaigning for consumers to switch from synthetic running tops made from oil.”
If you want to look like Sarah — or just like a good running top made from a fine wool — the Long Sleeve Chase is for sale at http://www.icebreaker.com for $99.
1. Old Photo, see comment 4.
2. Sexist? She’s the one that agreed to wear the hot pants. DUH.
3. I think I’ll be unsubscribing from your email updates now. Very disgusted by the fact that you are plugging ANYTHING associated with the “Palin”. Disappointed with Gear Junkie, VERY disappointed. Have fun pandering to the conservatives.
Please Stephen, the broad is wearing pantyhose with her “hot” pants. I haven’t seen this fashion take since the pre-Reagan 70’s. Come to think of it, that’s just about right for this gal’s politics of the absurd.
Let your readers in on your satire? or we have no choice but to regard you as a corporate sell-out.
I’m a big fan of Icebreaker, as well as, Sarah Palin, AND Gear Junkie. Those are shorts not ‘hot pants’ and she’s not tall enough to pull off hot pants. It looks to me like she has oil on her legs not hose.
Love the top! Icebreaker seems softer to me than Ibex, and more stylish. I wear both.
