It really comes as no surprise that a major political figure has a style and image team in her repertoire of assistants, but it does serve to negate her hockey/PTA mom image:
Insiders tell Page Six Palin has a secretive circle of stylists who dress her for events. For her big speech in St. Paul, where she accepted the GOP's vice-presidential nod, this fashion-conscious team encouraged the Alaska governor to splurge on a $2,500 jacket from Saks Fifth Avenue designed by Valentino Garavani.Palin, shunning the pantsuits favored by Hillary Clinton, wore the top during her first big speech, where she told McCain's delegates: "I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids' public education better."
But she's springing for designer labels. One source familiar with Palin's primping posse told us, "They do not want the American public to know that Palin is using stylists or that she is paying for expensive clothes this early on in the campaign."
What is NowPublic?

Terri Potratz, I like this story. It's good stuff. Everyone who runs for office has a team. I watched as Hillarys people put up 5 pantsuits up against the back drop at the DNC. It is interesting that men have been using image consultants for years.. but now that we have a conservative woman who could become a VP it is news.
