Shop window, Barcelona, Spain. This mannequin's hat with a fox tale reminded me of something Sarah Palin might wear when she's out hunting moose or chasing wolves. Then again, now that the Alaska governor has had a taste of expensive designer fashion, she might not like that frontier (albeit upscale frontier) look.
Of course, John McCain once said campaign funds should not be used for "inherently personal purposes," such as "clothing purchases." "...I do not believe the general public is aware of how their campaign contributions are being used," McCain said. "I think it would be fair to say that if they did, they would be outraged and well they should be." Read more about his principled stance - in 1993 - here. Now that it's 2008, McCain seems to have abandoned such notions.
Visit my friend Tangobaby for her brilliant post: "Putting fresher, prettier faces on the McCain campaign."

Sans the fox. I think fox belong in meadows...!
I read the above post and thought, isn't it about time I learned French? After all, I am Canadian. Bilingual country and all.

I was watching the reports on Sarah Palin's expenses and can't believe she still looks like she just stepped out of the 60s without the style. Just goes to show you cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear :)

I am speechless! Hmm... I am convinced to buy the 40$ jacket I was pondering over. : )
