The Fashion Show Critics

"Sarah Palin's sharp looks on the campaign trail come at a price: more than $150,000 on clothing and accessories from high-end department stores since the Alaska governor was the surprise pick by John McCain to be his running mate, records reveal. " Where do they want her to shop for a suit? Walmart? Then they would say she had no class.

"Financial disclosure statements documented by Politico.com show the retail outlay for Palin and her family since early September included a $75,062.63 expenditure at a Minneapolis Neiman Marcus and shopping trips to Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York that resulted in a combined tab of $49,425.74, all paid by the Republican National Committee."

Well, when you get a call from a presidential candidate asking you to be in Ohio in 6 hours, you don't have time to pack everything for a family of 7. Let's calculate. $150,000 divided by 50 states. That comes out to $3,000 an outfit per state. You can't get a designer suit or dress cheaper than $500. Maybe we should ask Michelle Obama. She knows all about designer dresses & suits. You also need a nice pair of shoes & hose to go with a dress. She can't have trailer trash toenails. She needs a pedicure. You just know that the media has been doing close ups on her open toe shoes. What about the undergarments? I don't think she is doing laundry on the road. Do you do laundry when on vacation? I don't.

"Hair and makeup accounted for another $4,716.49 billed to the RNC in September, with no such costs reported in August. (October expenditures will not be made public until after the Nov. 4 national election."

Okay, $4,716.49 divided by 30 days in September. Cost per day is $157.21. When you think about it that is not alot to have someone do your hair & make up when you are the road. You need a higher end of make up when you are under a microscope. Obama forbid, I mean, God fobid the mainstream media find her make up running. What a field day they would have.

I did some researching on Michelle Obama's wardrobe. Her favorite designer is Maria Pinto. Maria Pinto Collection is available at Saks Fifth Ave. Well when I searched their web site, I couldn't find her line. Can't find the price of one of her dresses. So I went to her website to check out her line of clothes. Interesting to find the prices not listed. Hmmmmm. I guess the Obama's don't want us knowing what they paid for their clothes. Hmmmmmmm.

UPDATE: as of 10 pm. Sarah was interviewed by Sean Hannity. He asked her about the wardrobe. She replied that the RNC provided the clothes. They are not her's to keep. Some are borrowed & others are being donated to charity.
