Maybe it’s Maybelline

11/11/09 UPDATE: Seller now insists this is not a misspelling after all.

See, one book is spelled “Rouge”, and the other one is spelled, “Rouge”. So that should clear it up.
12/5/09 UPDATE: Still having some trouble with the name of the book, though this one sounds like it would be more interesting.

i think this guy is just trying to market stuff by putting someones name on it thinking it will sell..
which the scheme in itself i find tasteless and tacky. kinda like slap michel jackson on it and say “lookie! mickel jackson memorabilia, better get it quick”
usually isnt a sache what you wear around your waist? no sorry that’s sash .. sachet was what he was trying to spell? why not just say “gift bag”
and Klair it sure doesn’t capture MY essence

I must confess, the first time I saw the title of Sarah Palin’s book, I thought it said “Going Rouge”
I thought it was somehow a reference to the whole red state blue state thing.

Sarah Palin is famous for, among other things, “going rogue” during the 2008 presidential campaign. Supposedly she defied the advice of the McCain advisors. However, this seller has made a little spelling error. But dear Sarah did highlight how she wore lipstick so hey, it works!
But I agree with #28, I’d only buy it to smash it. Probably with her book, which I would do at the bookstore so I would not have to pay for it.

This seller engraved it on a Christmas ornament, but they spelled it “Going Rouge”, which makes the whole thing even more ridiculous.

I don’t understand the sentence “Can also be used as OR SUN CATCHER”. What is an “OR SUN CATCHER”? On-request sun catcher? Seller fixed some words but leaves that. Strange, really strange.

I weirdly think this actually might be tongue-in-cheek on the part of the seller. Err… tounge in cheek? Whatever. I’m confused by it, since the listing is unclear. A newscaster originally misread her book title as ‘going rouge’ and that *is* now a common enough joke.
My biggest beef with this thing is that it is in the BOOKS AND ZINES top category, and tagged with “comic” … another clue the seller might be joking, but is also a tagging jerk.

Before this popped up here I actually convoed this guy to politely correct him on his spelling. He said, “I know the spelling is not the same as the real book name as I am not sure if I can use the correct spelling. What do you think?” I said he could use the correct spelling and he said, “…have done work for the last five US Presidents all the retiring senators since 1984, LPGA trophy’s so I dont want to take any chances.If Sarah had become President I would have done her inauguration…

I just sent this seller the following email, laying out the mistake in plain English. She can’t write it, but I assume she can read it. I’ll let you all know if I get a response.
—————–
I’m sorry to tell you, but Sarah’s book is not “Going Rouge,” it is “Going Rogue”. The image that you linked to in your listing is probably from this article. http://shelf-life.ew.com/2009/10/21/going-rouge-palin-basher-lookalike/

…continued:
Sarah Palin’s Book is called “Going Rogue: An American Life.” The book from the Nation is called “Going Rouge: An American Nightmare” – it is a collection of essays about Sarah Palin. It is mocking the fact that “rogue” is spelled similarly to “rouge,” meaning the blusher make up that you put on your cheeks.
I’m assuming that you support Sarah Palin, and don’t want to make Christmas ornaments that mock her and imply that she is nothing but a pretty doll.
Good…

He apparently offers both spellings. He told me that 4 people bought this thing – and money talks, so he makes them. He’s “not into politics” though.
I still don’t think he gets it.

I mean, did this lady deliberately spell it “Rogue” to copy the book by The Nation people, or did she genuinely misspell “Rogue”, and then try to get out of it when she discovered the parody book? Because if she did it deliberately, copying the title of the book by The Nation, not funny. If it was an accident and then she tried to make it look deliberate= VERY funny.
