the TIME 100 gala: todd, sarah, piper, and bristol palin
The Palins hit the red carpet to celebrate the former governor’s inclusion on TIME Magazine’s annual TIME 100 list of the most influential people in the world.
There were many celebrities in attendance at tonight’s gala (Ben Stiller, Betty White, Taylor Swift…), but if the number of photos snapped is indication of who was most popular for the night…the Palins seem to have that title hands down! It looks like a great time was had by all, and Piper did her usual thing and worked the room like a pro!
Congratulations to Governor Palin and cheers to one of America’s loveliest families taking Manhattan by storm!

arctic cool: a very happy birthday to piper palin!
Dear Piper,
I hope you don’t mind that millions of perfect strangers have adopted you as one of our own. We really can’t help it. You’re a cool kid.
You’ve had some great adventures across the entire country (trick-or-treating in Pennsylvania?). You’ve met really interesting people (hellloooo Oprah!…and Joe Biden…), and you’ve exhibited poise and grace in national television interviews (Barbara Walters was out of her league). All of this before you’ve hit junior high!
Needless to say, the design conservative doesn’t have anything to give you that would rival the experiences I just mentioned. But, I do offer my sincere best wishes that you have a fantastic birthday! I hope your day is filled with lots of hugs, an obscene amount of doting and, of course, a ginormous cake!
Most of all, I want to say: Don’t go changin’, Piper Palin…stay cool, sister!
