Sarah Palin: Tease VIP Preview

Who is Sarah Palin?  She once was Valley Trash from Wasilla, now she is a national icon.  Somewhere beyond the stereotypes is the real person.  In this exhibition I stripped those stereotypes down to the naked truth.  Most all are titillating, one, distinctively, is not.

Sarah Palin: Slick.
 Her back to Alaska as she looks out to a seemingly
endless horizon to a future greased by spilled oil wealth.
 Is this what you see when you look at Sarah?

Sarah Palin: Tea Party Queen.
The life of the party, this red queen stirs things up while the Tea
Party twirls around a 2012 presidential bid.
Is this what you see when you look at Sarah?

Sarah Palin: Caribou Barbie.
A plastic icon that has a hollow head and a nice rack,
a role model for women that offers an unhealthy ideal
that is self destructive to maintain.
Is this what you see when you look at Sarah?

Sarah Palin: Peep Show.
Looking past the iron curtain, she exploits
her window of opportunity.
Is this what you see when you look at Sarah?

Sarah Palin: Wink.
She's got moxie, a game player, intimate yet distant.
A tease who flirts with the idea of going all the way.
Is this what you see when you look at Sarah?

Sarah Palin: ACES.
The ultimate Hockey MotherILF, a pitbull with lipstick,
proudly displaying her ACES dog tag bling.
Is this what you see when you look at Sarah?

Sarah Palin: North Star Feud Flag.
She is the star centered in a strong blue field,
but she earned her stripes taking on a long list of contenders.
Is this what you see when you look at Sarah?

Who is Sarah Palin?

Is she a plastic figure with vacant eyes, and a great rack like Caribou Barbie?  Is she the hottest MILF in the grandstands, as big a booster to the Anchorage Aces hockey team as she is to the ACES gas tax?  

Is she an opportunist, taking advantage of her window of opportunity in an international Peep Show?  Is she the wild party girl, spinning the Republicans around as their Teaz Party Queen?  Or is she something altogether different, or indifferent, a Slick siren who turns her back on her audience to look out to broader horizons greased by spilled oil?

New cultural myths are stripped naked in Alaskan artist Dorene M. Lorenz’s new exhibition, Sarah Palin: Tease which opens this Friday, October 15th at the Club Soraya in the Sunshine Mall at 333 West Fourth Avenue, Anchorage from 5:00-8:00 pm.

Provocative.  Titillating, Compelling.  A must see for anyone who has an interest in drawing back the curtain to explore who the real Sarah Palin is, and what she is about.
