Well this is dandy...

...and this irks me maaaaaan. I admittedly like to shop and have an eye for the lovely, but some things are JUST ridiculous. I could never see myself spending THOUSANDS on multiple pieces of ONE outfit. A purse (as in SINGULAR) of course they are like wearable art at times, as are shoes. But a dress, shoes, jewels, EVERYTHING. I think I'd get sick from thinking of the places I could go, the people islands or homes I could buy lol. Check this out, thanks to Perez Hilton and Vanity Fair's lovely homework, here's how much those fancy RNC wives spent to look good the other night:

Laura Bush
Oscar de la Renta suit: $2,500
Stuart Weitzman heels: $325
Pearl stud earrings: $600–$1,500
Total: Between $3,425 and $4,325



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

Now obviously this is inflated but even if you fix it up....
