Alaska's Culture And Glamour Deficit

“Ivana Trump, Perfume, Attract Alaskan Crowd”
Daily Sitka Sentinel, April 3, 1996, p. 3.
ANCHORAGE (AP) — Sarah Palin, a commercial fisherman [sic] fromWasilla, told her husband she was driving to Anchorage to shop at Costco. Instead, she headed straight for Ivana. Ivana Trump. . .came to Anchorage Tuesday to push her line of perfume. She sat Tuesday in the J. C. Penney cosmetics department wearing a pink pantsuit and pink fingernail polish. Her blonde hair was coiffed in a bouffant French twist. More than 500 people waited as long as half an hour to chat with her and receive an autographed photo. “We want to see Ivana, because we are so desperate in Alaska for any semblance of glamour and culture,”said Palin.

Why must Ms. Palin run down the humble ways of Alaskans?
