The inexplicable appeal of Sarah Palin has delivered commercial success not only to booksellers, enjoying the release of Palin’s new memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life, but also to other industries.

From the high-profile moment in 2008 when then-presidential candidate John McCain tapped her to be his running mate, then-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin instantly became a media icon. But she wowed the masses not so much for her political substance and style, but more so for her fashion style. Although Palin has scoffed and pooh-poohed the “make-over” she endured during her ten-week campaign with McCain, even she might wonder if her appeal would have been as magnetic without the sprucing up she accepted. After all, the results sparked a shopping frenzy nationwide. Thousands of women began snatching up her chosen brands of shoes, eyeglasses and lipstick. Even hair salons and wig makers saw a sudden demand for Sarah’s signature up-dos.

Yes, Palin’s hair style has spawned great interest, so much so that her now famous coif can be purchased as a 100% human hair wig. Seriously, the Palin mane you may have admired during recent interviews with Oprah Winfrey or Barbara Walters can be purchased among several Palin style wigs. Give a visit here, if you’re curious, or simply ready to go rogue like Sarah and be “Palinized.”

So it seems, in these tough economic times, Sarah Palin is doing her part to help America recover from its financial downturn. Companies of various commercial interests have discovered a lucrative new marketing miracle, and its name is Sarah Palin.
