Sarah Palin
Apart from her being rather incompetent (“cramming a lot of information”, as if, she just doesn’t find her way around the notes others have prepared for her), Sarah Palin apparently really likes fashion. And hairdressers. And makeup.
According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74.
The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.
The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after reporting no such costs in August.
Ah well. I refrained from posting about the US election so far, it’s just too hyped up even in European media, and the US voters seem to be less informed by the day, start being openly and no longer covertly racist again, but this is just silly.
Although, on second thought, maybe the money is better spent that way.

Well, those were here first trips abroad. Who wouldn’t want to take home a few souvenirs (especially if home is Alaska)?

Heh, true I guess
And being a potential future president without substance, at least the coating has to be from top designers 
And thanks a lot for your comment!

Sarah Palin is a very vocal person and most of the time she speaks what she thinks and how she feels. **
