Makeup must be Expensive!

When you ask yourself who the highest payed  Worker on Senator McCain's Campaign staff, I would never think of Governer Palin's makeup artist, Amy Strozzi. I would think of some chief advisor on communications, or advertising. But, no, It was a woman who does the same job on Tv show sets. Mrs. Strozzi was payed 22,800 in the first half of the month of october. With Palin's 11k lipstick budget it sure makes Michelle Obama's 150$ off the rack dress look pretty darn cheap!
But i have to wonder, is all this attention just a little bit sexist? Would we really be this worried if McCain or Obama were spending this much on clothes?
Well, Heres a point. Barack bought 5 suites at the beginning of the campaign for 580 each. McCain wears 1500$ suites and i doubt he only has 1. History shows that appearances do matter in our world today, and the vibe people have about different candidates but there is a limit on how much money should go to frivolous styling.
