*Exactly* what the GOP is hoping for. "Uber-Woman", to steal the Clinton constituency, regardless of the chasm in their belief systems.

By Celia Walden Last Updated: 7:06PM BST 05 Sep 2008 When a woman wants to be taken seriously she can go down one of two routes: she can read the Economist from cover to cover, inject a little environmental hand-wringing into her dinner party repertoire and take a vow never, ever to mention designer footwear in public. Or, she can tie her hair up and don a pair of glasses. As a former beauty queen, Sarah Palin - known in her basketball days as Sarah Barracuda - has a point to make: she's a female Clark Kent wishing to distance herself from the spandex and big hair of her cover-girl days; she's a hockey mom encumbered by her looks - or is she? That luxuriant hair, tied up so impatiently, is as carefully thought out as the spectacles; (I'm 90% sure they're clear glass). "Palin wants it to look as if she's too busy to spend time on her hair, but this style would take a good hour to do at home," says Brendan Fowles at Daniel Galvin who "barracuda'd me" for the princely sum of £75. "She's got very good hair but you need to put curlers in the whole head first, to get the volume, tie it tightly into a pony- tail and then pin down the bits at the back so that they look artfully tousled. The look is feminine without being feminine but quite repressed, and because of that oddly sexy." Odd? Definitely. Sexy? No. But I left the salon feeling righteous, bossier than a sat-nav and dangerously contained. The look Mrs Palin has perfected, offering the world a tantalising glimpse of her inner fox, is a winner. Her husband is the only one who gets the barracuda unleashed. Poor wholesome Todd had better not let the side down or Sarah'll get her gun.
