McCain spent $8,672.55 in September on Make- up

Remember last month when Republican presidential nominee John McCain got made up by the American Idol make-up artist?

Well, it wasn't a one-shot deal. The make-up artist to the wannabe-stars is getting paid beaucoup bucks to make McCain, 72, more telegenic.

Tifanie White, who reportedly has done makeup for the shows "So You Think You Can Dance" and "American Idol," was paid a total of $8,672.55 in September by the McCain-Palin campaign, according to the campaign's latest monthly financial report filed this week with the Federal Election Commission. She was paid $5,583.43 the previous month, records show.

We asked McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers whether McCain was happy with the American Idol make-up artist's work, and whether Ms. White also does makeup for McCain's naturally telegenic vice presidential running mate, Sarah Palin. Rogers replied via email, "No comment."

death warmed over on Fox last Sunday.

and while he's trying to perk up his appearance - he might want to replace his yellow teeth/dentures.

:rofl:

:scared:

on TV yesterday that's all you could see - his very heavy makeup.

helped.

First she started out w/ subtle highlights the highlights got lighter; then her natural(?) color got lighter. Now her hair is at least 3 shades lighter than @ the convention w/ very light highlights.

I notice this trivia because w/ 'mute' working for me, I have time to observe.

I wouldn't go near him with a ten foot rouge brush myself for that amount. :puke:

elitist

death warmed over. :rofl:

and the pink lipstick in debate III was cute.

Seriously, the make up artist needs to be fired because McLame looks worse then ever.

we may be seeing this new "budget" make-up design to compensate.

if you want to look like you're dead.

And accurate.

If I liked him, I'd have told him to steer away from the pink lipstick, at least for debates, for free. (Maybe it looks perfectly adorable away from the TV lights.) But I don't, so it made me cheerful to see him wearing it.

in some cases. :rofl:

;-)

because it isn't working.

just saying...

They picked her because of her work on Weekend at Bernie's.

If she worked every single hour in September (30 days hath...x 24 = 720) -> just over $12/hr

If she worked 60 hours x 4 weeks = 240 hours -> just over $36/hr

If she worked 40 hrs x 4 weeks = 160 hours -> $54/hr

I'm in the wrong career...
