The queen in waiting couldn't even wait to be elected VP. Palin has gone out and dropped $155,000 on clothing.

So much for the average hockey mom mythology.

What happens a lot overhere (and I'll assume is pretty common elsewhere) is that fashion-designers 'of name and fame' will consider events like e.g. election-campaigns as a very profitable way to show off their designer stuff. It's 'opportunistic' FREE advertising for them.


Do "we" know the GOP-donators are paying for this?

I didn't state éitherway..... I asked a question.


All I know for a fact, is that fashion designers will see this event as a way to show off their latest. Nothing wrong or right about it, just the way it goes :).

McCain's American Idol Make-Up Artist Makes Big Bucks



American Idol make-up artist Tifanie White has found some high profile work while the show is on break. (Altaffer/AP)


Remember last month when Republican presidential nominee John McCain got made up by the American Idol make-up artist?


Well, it wasn't a one-shot deal. The make-up artist to the wannabe-stars is getting paid beaucoup bucks to make McCain, 72, more telegenic.


Tifanie White, who reportedly has done makeup for the shows "So You Think You Can Dance" and "American Idol," was paid a total of $8,672.55 in September by the McCain-Palin campaign, according to the campaign's latest monthly financial report filed this week with the Federal Election Commission. She was paid $5,583.43 the previous month, records show.


We asked McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers whether McCain was happy with the American Idol make-up artist's work, and whether Ms. White also does makeup for McCain's naturally telegenic vice presidential running mate, Sarah Palin. Rogers replied via email, "No comment."


We refrained from asking whether McCain might have a future on "American Idol" if things don't break his way two weeks from today on Election Day. But at least he has an in if he so chooses.>>>>

I think the "outrage" (for lack of a better word) was because campaign contributions paid for those clothes.

Isn't it the left that says they want to stick to the issues?
