Americans are struggling, yet cindy mcvain scrounged up a $300,000 (ugly) outfit

[Philosoraptor]

Vanity Fair estimates that the "rather fancy designer clothes" Cindy McCain wore while taking the stage Tuesday night at the Republican convention cost somewhere between $299,100 and $313,100.




Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100

p.s. ....john mccain did mention that he realizes Americans are going through tough times.

1. My $4000

....socks just do not compete.

Seriously, $300k for a dress. Was it made of hand-harvested spider-webs and diamond dust?!??!

Amazing!

2. Jewelry and accessories really add up

[Serial Mom]

4. A nice 'house' hanging from her ears (worth about $280,000)

3 carat diamonds

29. Rare endangered Tibetan Yeti wool? eom

[ColbertWatcher]

3. So, she's Florinda now?

[Serial Mom]

6. Neck, neck! hahaha - loved that movie!

[ColbertWatcher]

8. I don't know why George Hamilton didn't have more movies after that! n/t

5. That Pic - "The Glitz and the Ditz"

11. Who does her hair, the Gollum?

[paparush]

12. Yesssssss Precious!

[Philosoraptor]

13. The outfit....I WANTS it....

[paparush]

17. It burns us...

[marylanddem]

7. Mustard yellow is so ugly in clothes.

[Philosoraptor]

9. You'd think an outfit that expensive wouldn't look so trashy and bizzare

[Philosoraptor]

14. Flat Budweiser yellow

[my2sense]

10. She reminds me of Cruella Deville

and that color doesn't do much for her.

[Philosoraptor]

15. I wonder if she'll ever get to wear the outfit again, or if that was it?

[Philosoraptor]

16. She totally forgot to take the curtain rod out in her haste

[radfringe]

18. that's sexist

we should also be pointing out mccain's $500 shoes

[Philosoraptor]

19. Marry me john, and you'll soon be fartin' through silk

[WritersBlock]

20. Can anyone make out what her brooch spells out? (In diamonds, I assume)

The pic isn't quite big enough for me to be able to make out the letters.

[Philosoraptor]

21. 'NAVY, USMC'? Or does it say 'Live Well'?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. "F.U. Peasants."

[Golden Raisin]

22. We've obviously come a very long way

from Pat Nixon's "plain cloth coat". (And I'm NOT waxing nostalgic for either Pat or Dick).

[Generic Other]

23. I beleive jon stewart called her pearls a "neck levee"

meant to keep the sagging skin from overflowing down into her bosom.

[MadinMo]

24. Definitely looks "rode hard".

Talk about lipstick on a pig..........

She would be so dreadful as First Lady.

[Philosoraptor]

25. ....................

[Pavulon]

27. 50k for the earrings

100 tops from Tiffs..

[FloridaJudy]

28. She looks like an Oscar statutette in drag

Cindy gets scarier looking by the day. And what *is* that hideous diamond encrusted pin? It looks like she got ripped off if she spent more than $1.99 for it on eBay. That woman can only dream of Michelle Obama's class.

And Laura, as usual, looks like she's either looped to the gills (and who could blame her?) or she's botoxed herself into a permanent Joker's grin.


edited to be even more catty

30. John apparently liked it.

31. She could have spent a couple hundred bucks and looked great.

Nice semi-precious stones instead of diamonds, an off-the-rack designer dress.

What's with the ostentatious display of wealth??

[Philosoraptor]

32. ...............

33. People With Money Where Expensive Clothes

I am not a fan of John or Cindy McCain, but I contend going after the cost of her clothes is foolish. People with money where expensive clothes. There are Democrats who wear $400 shirts. I can imagine that at least one of the Democrats at the Democratic National Convention wore about $300,000 worth of clothing at the event. There is no reaso for a wealthy person to dress down just so that people will not get upset.

[Philosoraptor]

34. Had she been a Democrat, the attacks would never stop.

And yes, I'm aware that that makes me look like 'one of them', but I ain't. Are you?

[FlaDem83]

35. On a petty note

wtf is up with her bangs?? Did she want to fit in with Mrs. Palin??
