Sarah Palin Likes Naughty Monkeys

I'll admit it.

I am posting this story just so I could use that headline. It is a once in a million opportunity.

Naughty Monkey shoes, said to be Sarah Palin's, sold for $2,025 on EBAY.

The shoes were allegedly worn by Governor Palin during her campaign for vice president. The pair of red, Naughty Monkey Double-Dare pumps (like the ones shown) were sold in an eBay auction that ended Tuesday. They usually go for about $100.

Someone calling herself Palin's niece was selling the red shoes she said the governor gave her, according to the description on the auction site. She claims that the shoes were purchased, not by the Republican National Committee, but by the governor herself at a Juneau store.

Autographed pictures of the governor wearing the shoes were also included in the auction, as well as a Sharpie pen Palin used for autographs during the campaign. Here is the description on EBAY:

Up for bid are thee actual Red Naughty Monkey Heels owned/worn by Sarah Palin. I got the shoes from Aunt Sarah after mentioning that I liked them. They dont fit to well, so I decided to let someone else enjoy them. These are the exact heels that made headlines. If you search "Sarah Palin's Red Shoes" on a serach engine, you will find multiple blogs, articles, and stories on these shoes. You could own a piece of history!!! The shoes are NOT autographed, but the buyer has the option of having them autographed!! I included pictures of the shoes, the autographed pictures, the Sharpie pen, and me and my aunt (just taken a couple days ago).

The winner/buyer will recieve:

*Authentic Red Naughty Monkey Heels, size 7.5 worn/owned by Sarah Palin

* 2 autographed pictures of her in the heels

* A custom Sharpie Pen that was made for autographing while on the Presidential Campaign Trail. This pen will be used to autograph shoes if buyer would like shoes autographed.

There is even a statement from the store owner who sold palin the shoes and it is priceless -
We sold our Governor a pair of red Double Dare Naughty Monkey shoes a couple of weeks ago. She just wore those shoes as John McCain announced Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska as his vice president running mate. Although not everyone agrees with her politics, everyone can agree that she wears “sexy shoes.”
