Palin Posse “Like Locusts” Goes Hollywood Hillbillies

Following her Tonight Show appearance, Sarah Palin and her posse descended on Silver Spoon’s Oscar gifting Suite, benefiting the Red Cross. Despite reports that Palin planned to donate $1,750 to the Red Cross, E! Online says, “too fab she gave money, but we can assure you she did not give up any of her swag” as the Palin posse swarmed the freebies “like locusts.”

Ouch.

According to E! Online: “We're told Palin was quite the prima donna and that she insisted the suite be opened two hours early so she could come when no looky-loos would be around.” One “annoyed source” said they were told to get there “super-early” for the Palins, “then, she wouldn't let anyone take her picture or do any interviews.”

Ouch.

Explains E! Online: “For those of you who think that's a standard request—uh, it's not, especially when you're getting thousands of dollars worth of free goods. Some of the products Palin picked up included Bloom facial products, which she told the vendor she needed for her under-eye area.”

The free loot valued in the thousands included United Hair Care products, jewelry from Pascal Mouawad, watches from Skagen and product from Lash Food. They also received a “blow-out” by colorist Erick Orellana from the Chris McMillan Salon.

One vendor at the suite described the Palins and the “large group of hangers-on” in Sarah’s posse: “They were like locusts. She showed up with like 20 people, and they immediately swarmed the place taking everything!”

Ouch.

Sister Sarah might have to buy a bigger trailer to fit all her free loot from the lower 48.
