Romney's $2000 Beauty Secrets

[Pryderi]

An old story from 2007, but I wonder how much Romney is spending currently for his man-scaping.

The perception that Mitt Romney is some sort of pretty-boy was burnished earlier this week when reports emerged that he spent $300 in campaign funds for makeup "consulting" this year.

It turns out Romney has maintained an expensive beauty regimen for years.

A RAW STORY analysis of Romney's campaign finance records during his time as Massachusetts governor shows he spent nearly $2,000 on makeup artists over four years. The personal-beautification spending was divided over six sessions to three separate companies. Individual makeup jobs ranged in price from $180 to $690.

After reports emerged in April that Democratic candidate John Edwards spent $400 for a haircut, the media jumped on the story. It was mentioned twice as often as Romney's makeup work in the days after each story was reported, according to a database search.

Did he also invest in those supposed butt toning sneakers?

1. Sorry, Mittens, it isn't working. Save your money

or spend it on porn and good weed.

Whatever he's doing is making him look like he belongs in Madame Tussaud's.

6. the story isn't about bad makeup, although I admit, it is bad.

it is about the press destroying a dem candidate over a haircut and letting the repub makeup story slide.

7. +1

Agreed.

8. Ok so $500 a year on makeup?

Frankly, since I had to stare at his face for four years, I'd be willing to split $500 a year across the tax base to pretty that up a bit. Just saying. It's like a years worth of hair cuts and a pair of shoes.

Neither the Edwards nor the Romney thing is really a story to be honest. I'm sure they both spent more on gas getting to places several times over than they did on makeup or hair.
