"Change is coming!" Cindy McCain's dress costs $313,100
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 01:43 PM by bushmeister0
Looks like more of the same to me. That's like the entire GDP of Haitti or something, isn't it? (sarcasm}

AP:

"Friday may be the start of New York's Fashion Week, but couture has been in the Minnesota convention hall all week.

It kicked off on Monday with Cindy McCain and First Lady Laura Bush in Oscar de la Renta.

Vanity Fair editors estimated that McCain's fierce saffron shirt dress with the popped collar, diamond earrings, four-strand pearl necklace, white Chanel watch and strappy shoes totaled up to $313,100."

4. It wasn't the dress.
Most of the $300k+ was jewelry.

6. What's that schmutz on her lapel? . . .
It looks like service and battle ribbons and a USMC logo. Anyone have a better look at what she wore last night?
