Hey everybody – oh my gosh darn goodness….(ode to Palin…)…I have been the WORST blogger every for the past few weeks. I know, it’s inexcusable, but – my trips to NY, family coming into LA for Thanksgiving, a web series in which I was shooting 12-16 hour days, and non-stop pitch meetings have left me…officially exhausted and ready for my December vacation.

Nonetheless, I have FINALLY gone through all the photo submissions for the Sarah Palin Contest, and the winner is Beth from Fort Worth, Texas! She is a dead ringer!!

Beth wins a free costume for next year from my friends over at Leg Avenue – http://www.legavenue.com/costumes/ – the best place for awesome, unique Halloween costumes!

Thanks to everyone else who entered! Here are some of the other great entries below—-

Without a doubt it will be the most over-used costume this Halloween – but how will YOU do Palin? Are you going to play it straight or give her a ‘lil twist?

Send me your photos or video of your best Palin costume to tarynsouthernwebsite@gmail.com, and just for fun, let’s see who can do it best!! Whomever gets the most creative with their Palin costume wins a surprise gift bag filled with items that would even make Palin proud.

I can’t reveal the contents of the bag yet (otherwise that would ruin the surprise!) but I’ll give some more hints as we get closer to Halloween. So start working on those costumes!!

All emails must be received by Nov. 2nd. Winner will be announced on Nov. 4th!
