I’m having some fun reading the reviews in the international press about Sarah Palin’s $150,000 wardrobe makeover.

Interesting – the woman makes $125,000 a year as governor of Alaska and her party splurges more than that on clothing, hairstyling and makeup so that she can look vice-presidential.

Editors right and left are writing all sorts of colorful comments asking how is it possible that she can spend $75k on GFF and Ann Klein’s suits at Neiman Marcus and almost $50k at Saks Fifth Avenue on a one-day shopping spree in the middle of a worldwide financial crisis (I certainly would if I had that kind of money!)

Her beautifying budget adds up to more than double the average gringo’s household yearly income – ouch!

But what nobody is paying attention to is the comment made by McCain’s spokeswoman on the subject:

“It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign.”

Does this mean that if the McCain-Palin combo wins the ticket to the White House (God help us!) she will go back to wearing her pre-campaigning Wal-Mart’s clothes? Unlikely.

Maybe it’s just that the McCain camp already unconsciously accepted defeat and know that she won’t be needing her new fancy wardrobe after November 4 as she will be heading back to goodol’ Alaska.

Anybody knows how to go about registering myself as a charity?
