$695 Sarah Palin wig big seller in Brooklyn
Follow-up to a previous Chaptzem story
Don't be surprised if you see a few Sarah Palin look-alikes in Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods like Brooklyn's Borough Park.
A wig wholesaler there says its Palin wig has become one of the company's most popular items.
Georgie Wigs Vice President Shlomo Klein said Thursday that the company has sold about 50 Palin wigs since the Alaska governor joined John McCain on the GOP ticket.
"It's a very conservative yet fashion-forward look," Klein said. "It can be worn down, it can be worn up. There are a lot of styling options. The bun higher, the bun lower."
Klein's company caters to Orthodox Jewish women who must cover their hair after marriage as well as women who need wigs for medical reasons.
He said he doesn't think it's odd that Jewish women would model themselves on Palin, a devout Christian from a frontier state with very few Jews.
"She's pro-Israel," he noted.
Klein said Georgie Wigs has carried Hillary Clinton and Jennifer Anniston wigs in the past. Its catalog currently includes a Posh Spice wig.
The all-human hair Palin wig sells for $695.
"We always try to stay up on the trends," Klein said, "and right now she is the trend."

Goyish look? I think Palin has the yuntchy/chassidish look. She just made it more popular cause she is famous.
Why don't you stop worrying about women's looks? Maybe moshiach will go right back from where he came from cause men like you have no yiras shamayim and troll the Internet.
Keep blaming the women you sexist idiot!

Can someone explain to me, please, how a religious woman is not allowed to show her real hair to men other than her husband, because she is not supposed to appear attractive to them, but instead she is allowed to, supposed to, shave her hair bald and then permitted to put on a wig that makes her look twice as attractive?

My Theory.
What the American government fails to understand is that it is impossible to change human nature. If you study history, the basic elements of human nature have always been exactly the same, and will always be exactly the same. One of the most basic human elements is for a parent to want their child to excel as a functioning member of society. Parents will go to great lengths to see this to fruition, often taking on second jobs or foregoing luxuries, to see to it that their children have an adequate education and “extra” resources. However, By all these liberals trying to make all children have an equal opportunity to learn through giving them and their parents “freebees” I.E. affirmative action, complete scholarships etc. to “underprivileged” children you are encouraging the irresponsibility of the parents (to begin with many times). People need to see that that if they take care of their children (actually GO to work and set aside $ for them, show them that education and a good work ethic is crucial for success) than they will have a much higher chance of success then those that don’t, as history proves. I am not a racist but blacks have a long history of not caring for their kids, and that is why after so many thousands of years Africa is still where it is with regard to living standards. Not so for the societies that care enough to invest the effort in their kids. By letting parents know that they CANNOT do anything to help their children’s chances for success (because any advantage will be offset by the kids of the irresponsible parents getting it for free) you are encouraging parents to not care about their children and let the government do everything for them. America will soon look like Africa !
