Bristol Palin: No to Skin, But Yes to Fur on 'Dancing'

By Rob Shuter Posted Sep 9th 2010 09:45AM

Bristol Palin has every intention of making good on her pre-'Dancing with the Stars' promise -- that she wants her costumes to cover as much skin as possible -- by making sure she is covered with fur.

"Bristol made clear to the costume designers that she loves fur," an insider tells me. "She said she thinks it's sexy, classy and very glamorous and is encouraging the designers to use as much as possible on her costumes."

Like her mother, Sarah, who is an avid hunter, Bristol does not shy away from controversy. When the show's designers raised questions about offending animal lovers, sources tell me Bristol went quiet.

"Bristol has a strong sense of self," a family friend tells me. "She's isn't going to allow the producers to put her in any silly revealing outfits just to get votes and ratings. And the whole fur thing is stupid. Everyone wears fur in Alaska. We hunt, carry guns, wear fur and love our flag."

Folks up north are happy Bristol isn't going to change who she is, or as haters say, "go Hollywood."

"You mark my words," the Palin friend says. "Real Americans are going to come out and vote to keep Bristol dancing for a long time."

And to think I thought this show would be dull after Kate Gosselin left!

Avid hunter? you must mean money hunter.

By Cutie

the only reason Bristol has been asked to do this is to get to her mother. Its too bad she doesn't realize this. Its only to see what they can pick about her that will reflect badly. Why did she get involved?

By MO

Are you kidding? Believe me, she and her mother know perfectly well that Sarah will be using this as a way to get support from her "fans" who can't think for themselves. After all, they're watching Dancing With The Stars, aren't they? Do you seriously believe they haven't had a discussion about how this will impact Sarah's career? She doesn't care about how Bristol does or looks - just how much money she can make and how she can make mama look good. Unfortunately, that is something that poor Bristol is not up to - professionals are having trouble with that!

you ask why Bristol is doing this? She`s just like her mama ...for the money honey ! You betcha

What did people wear before weaving? Leather skins. The teepees and clothing of our native residents wore leather.

Enough of this crap. these people need to get a life.there are real issues in the world other than tantrums these fools have

By lk

who defines what a real american is? i would imagine that with 330+ million inhabitants, there are all kinds of real americans not just the "get knocked up before you get married" and "not want to show much skin while pushing your crotch against your partner while wrapping your leg around him" and this photo seems to reveal a lot of skin, not exactly what you would wear to your mothers house unless she owned a brothel.

WHEN IS THIS IDIOT SARAH GOING TO GO AWAY? PLEEEEEZE.

By BarbG

What do you expect from an uneducated kid who's mother kills innocent animals for sport?

By MAGOOS

The Palin clan is now truly corporate. Both mother and daughter play upon their self imposed notoriety to fill the Palin Inc coffers. Who pays? The fools who support them and enable them to achieve wealth and publicity at their expense. Wake up, folks!

By bgs

Oh good grief people. Get a life! Do you eat meat? Animals were killed for that meat. Do you wear leather? Do you eat fish? Lots of animals are killed every day for YOU! No one on here has a right to say anything about fur if ANY animal is killed for what you eat, wear or exist. And, I guess none of you have made a mistake in your life--nor any of your children. She didn't have an abortion--she KEPT her child and is raising it. Good for her. She doesn't want to show all that skin that most dancers show every week on that show--some weeks I wonder if it is the dancing or lack of clothes that gets people to vote. No one in the article even said the "fur" was going to be real. Should you REALLY be casting stones?

By Sharon

You guys like the thrill of the hunt too! Just that you are after the reputations of people you don't even know on a personal level. Judge her on what she says and does, review the totality of her words, without taking them out of context. Try not to judge Bristol on what the fear mongers say ABOUT her. It's an established fact that reality shows rely on stirring up controversy to bring viewers to the show--beyond yellow journalism. Have you never wondered why trash always shows up about some Idol contestant just two weeks before the show starts every year? Gullible.

By VDV

I've never watched the show, but will now just to vote for Bristol.
China skins dogs for their fur, but you continue to buy products from China...right? So why do you want to get all bent out of shape about Bristol wanting to wear fur?

By LW

She is not a star and her situation mandates she should be home raising her child on a stable, full-time basis. More hypocrisy from the family values crowd.

By Mike

I'm an Obama supporter and if there's one thing I've learned in my life it is, to believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see. People can say anything but that does not make it true. So to can your eye's decieve you. So give the girl a break. She might be Sarah Palin's daughter but that doesn't make her Sarah Palin.....

You guys are aware that Bristol FINISHED high school? After Tripp was born?

By MJ

Alaska - Fashion Capital of the World. LMAO.

IF IT WASN'T FOR HER MOTHERS FAME THIS LOOSER WOULDN'T EVEN BE ON THE SHOW. I DON'T WATCH THE STUPID THING ANYWAY.
