Ann Romney has designer store close for four hours so she can shop privately
Ann Romney’s Private Shopping Struggles
I cannot imagine the pressures political candidates and their families endure during a campaign, and I despise the fact that many news outlets exploit candidates’ families, even children. So I sympathize with Ann Romney’s preference to shop privately at the posh Fiandaca store in Worth Avenue, Palm Beach, which was closed for her shopping needs for four hours last Saturday.
Certainly it helps to be friends with the designer-owner Alfred Fiandaca, and I would have done the same thing if one of my friends were a possible first lady candidate. He just wanted his dear friend to shop in peace, without those pesky interruptions from the onlookers.
Of course I am sure the other customers who had to wait patiently –and some not so patiently- outside of the store- for four hours that Saturday, did not mind. After all, it is the Worth Avenue and one must know their worth to be able to shop there.
This surely is in stark contrast with the image of “everyday folks” Romney campaign is trying very hard to convey about Romneys. Mrs. Romney looked nothing like a “struggling homemaker” while privately shopping in that exclusive store where the prices start as little as a weekly salary of a middle class working woman.

Another example of how she is NOT one of us

I'll be interested to see how many cable news channels or hate radio shows have an apoplectic fit over this- about how Mrs. Romney seems to be "out of touch" with average Americans.
I'll be waiting............................
about his clothes after your comment so went to his website to look for myself. You are correct, the clothes aren't attractive and don't look particularly fashionable either. Welcome to DU!
Or this one?
This one looks like something an 11-year old would make out of scraps for her Barbie doll:
Then there's "pretty in pink" (not):
Jumpin Jehosephat: these things look like c. 1961 Palm Beach ... or has Palm Beach not changed that much since then?
if you modify the colors, designs and intended use, lol. For example, the first one could be a costume for a halloween party. The neon chartreuse thingie could be a cute sundress if you modify the colors to less eye-painful and lose the jacket.
As is? FAIL. EXPENSIVE FAIL. All of them.
Somehow I don't think peon-version knock-offs will be appearing in Wallies or Target any time soon. 
though i can't say i'm pissed that a group of rich people had to wait 4 hours
