Articles on TrendHunter.com about Hot Vice Presidents and Sarah Palin’s Glasses are still going strong. When will Palin-Fever end? Who knows, but in the meantime, the paparazzi too are still obsessed with the Governor of Alaska, and these are the photos they snapped of Sarah Palin poolside.
The fact that the paparazzi is still obsessed with Sarah Palin, gives the Trend Hunter article on her pop culture icon status a whole new meaning. Since when, outside of Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton, have they tried to obtain photos of government officials?
I learned about these photos through an MSNBC article discussing a possible Sarah Palin book deal that could rake in $7 million or more. In the same article, some editors estimated these photos of Sarah Palin could sell for anywhere from $300-$7,000.
I’ve looked at the photos of Sarah Palin in shorts at a governor’s conference in Miami posted at celebuzz.com; to be honest, I don’t think it’s Sarah Palin; however, I’m not accustomed to seeing her without make-up, her designer glasses, or out of business attire, so I could be wrong.
