McCain & Palin Makeup Cost

How much do you think it costs to make John McCain look "good" enough on camera? How much do you think Sarah Palin spends a month on makeup?

You might be surprised to find out McCain outspends Palin on makeup costs per month, by thousands of dollars!

John McCain makeup bill costs over $12,000 per month. Sarah Palin trails him, costing about $8,600, according to Sydney Morning Herald.

Adding to the ticket's headaches, it was disclosed that Senator McCain spent $US8672.55 ($12,900) last month for the services of the American Idol make-up artist Tifanie White.

While Mrs Palin spent more, the Arizona senator, 72, who has prominent scars from battling cancer, requires more work than does the more naturally telegenic Mrs Palin, 44.

Her travelling make-up artist is Amy Strozzi, who was nominated for an Emmy Award for her work as head of make-up on So You Think You Can Dance. Ms Strozzi was paid $US13,200 by the McCain-Palin campaign last month alone, according to the campaign's latest financial disclosure report filed this week.

The two politicians employ Emmy award-winning makeup artists to cater to their demanding fashion needs.

Between the two candidates, they spend $20,000 a month on makeup, or employing makeup artists.

Piper Palin's $800 Purse

Since Sarah Palin has made the headlines with her recent, $150,000 shopping spree, paid for by Republican donations, it seems even little Piper Palin is a winner in this election.

Mommy got to spend $75,000 at Neiman Marcus, and over $50,000 at other stores, but Piper palin, who hasn't attended much school this year, got her a Louis Vuitton purse that cost $800.



To be honest, I can understand why Sarah Palin needed a makeover... I have seen what she wore before she was tapped to run for vice president. And I assure you, she dressed as tacky as Britney Spears did... proof?

Here is a picture showing both Sarah Palin and Britney Spears wearing dresses with knee high boots. Can we say redneck?



I may not be a fashion expert, but I know it looks tacky to wear these dresses with boots. Palin has been forced to change her look, and the Republicans are paying for it, with your donations, if you donated to them this year.

A lot of money has gone into making Sarah Palin look the way she does, but why would the RNC be paying for Piper Palin's Louis Vuitton handbag?

Either way, Piper Palin is the winner here, what other 7 year olds do you know that get to hold their crayons and toys in a purse that cost $800?
