Okay, that's an expensive haircut

Thanks to the electoral-vote.com Votemaster for pointing out this article in Politico, about Palin's wardrobe and accessories. Apparently, the RNC has spent about $150k on her and her family. I'm a little boggled. Yes, I expect some serious expenses on primping -- the candidate needs to look good. But over a hundred thousand dollars? Jeez, what are they doing -- dressing her in couture every day?

Regardless, it does rather put Edwards' $400 haircut into perspective...

I have to admit when I saw the story earlier today I didn't even blink over the amount. I figured she is up for Vice President and is a female who has never been in "prime time", she would need to be outfitted completely. Armani and Valentino which I hear she has been wearing is very expensive. Getting your hair done, makeup, and fashion consultations are very expensive as well. Not to mention coats and footwear and accessories.... I think they did a great job, her wardrobe is very sharp looking and honestly image is everything. People are going to scrutinize everything she does and wears and I know if that was me, I'd at least want to look good while they do so :-)
