Sarah Palin wigs come to Borough Park

by Heshy Fried on October 11, 2008 · 21 comments

I always thought that Sarah Palins hair did resemble one of those sheitles worn by Hot Chani types strolling along Central Avenue in the five towns, but I never seriously thought about it. Mainly because I just don’t care for sheitels, I myself prefer my natural hair and until the Rabbis make a chumra that unmarried men have to cover their hair as well – to prevent the shidduch crisis of course – I will stick to my regular hair.

The Sarah Palin sheitel is available at Georgies in Brooklyn and its selling like crazy, although you can be assured that when some chumradikeh guy reads this they will be banned. I just coined that term by the way, because in frum-speak you can add the word “dikeh” to any word to make it into a active word. Someone who appreciates chumras may be called chumradikeh.

Don’t believe me- you can get the Sarah Palin Sheitel for $695 from Georgies.

Do you think this is a conspiracy by McCain’s henchmen?

So how much are they paying you for advertising?

Perfect for the perv with a politician fetish. I remember them having a Hillary style sheitel when she was first lady, can’t remember a “Bush” version although sheitels are only worn on the head ;)

-dik is for a guy (or a male word)
-dikeh is for a woman (or a female word)
and it’s actually -dig and -dige. It’s Yiddishism of German root. Yekkish root, ’cause root is male. :)

Phil? Who was into a Hillary wig? That is an urban myth if I ever heard one.

Dave:

It’s no urban myth, I remember seeing it in a wig catalog back in the mid 90s when I got married.

I never liked Hillary too much, I remember asking my wife what kind of idiot would get a Hillary wig for his wife.

The million dollar question is: How come they never came out with the Jena Jameson or Pamela Anderson version?

Phil,

I can think of a couple reasons.

Reply

Phil October 12, 2008 at 2:08 PM

Which are?

Phil, they do have Jena Jameson and Pamela Anderson wigs, they just sell them under pseudonyms so that sheitel hookers don’t have to blush when they trot out their latest slutty sheitel…

And ew on the Sarah Palin wig. Seriously, what do men find so attractive about her? I don’t see it.

They will never ban the Sarah Palin Sheitel. You have to read in between the lines here. The only way for someone to think of a sarah palin Sheitel is for them to see her hair. Which means they are reading newspapers with woman in them, which they are not allowed to do but since they are it then means that this idea is already not focusing on making chumros.

It wouldn’t be cost effective to have a “HIllary wig,” she she changes are image too often.

Sarah Palin wigs shouldn’t be a problem. They’ve been storing them for decades. I worked with someone who wore one years ago. Now, I realize why Palin looks so familiar.

Batya – yes, this was a very popular style in the late 1980s when I first got married.

Its kind of like Zohan- popularizing something old and out of date

Well, I think it’s already history. The latest pictures have her hair down, very high school looking.
