[Vision2020] John Edwards: Feelin' Pretty!

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Tim,

Is Edwards going to be your new Bill Clinton?  Hillary seemed like a natural 
for you, but maybe I was wrong.

>   Edwards turns to "Pink Sapphire" spa makeup help  By The Associated 
>Press  |  April 17, 2007
>   THE PLACE: Pink Sapphire, a day spa and makeup and skin care boutique in 
>Manchester. A statement on its Web site says its mission is to "provide an 
>avenue into the intriguing world of makeup."
>
>   THE CLIENT: Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards has relied on 
>Pink Sapphire to look good for the television cameras in New Hampshire.
>   Makeup for television is heavier than usual to hold up under the lights, 
>said co-owner Ariana Franggos. The routine is similar for both sexes except 
>for men, "it doesn't involve lipstick" she said.
>
>   Franggos said she's done makeup for John Edwards a few times but won't 
>go into details.
>   "I promise he's not in here getting facials and cucumber peels on his 
>eyes or anything," she said. She's an Edwards fan: "He's fantastic. Great 
>personality, very, very nice, down to earth." She's met Elizabeth Edwards, 
>but hasn't done her makeup.
>
>   THE PRICE: Pink Sapphire caters mostly to women, offering a "timeless 
>bride" package for $225, a "teen years" makeup lesson for $30 and a $25 
>"socialite" makeup do for a night on the town. It also specializes in 
>makeup for media and special events. According to Federal Election 
>Commission reports, the Edwards campaign paid $225 for Pink Sapphire's 
>services, a $150 payment on March 7 and a $75 payment on March 20.

>   April 17, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - Democratic White House hopeful John 
>Edwards insists on first-class pampering - enjoying $400 haircuts on the 
>road and plunking down nearly $500 for swank spa treatments, according to 
>campaign records.
>
>   Edwards, who touts himself as the poor man's champion and even launched 
>his bid from New Orleans' hurricane-devastated Lower Ninth Ward, tucked the 
>vanity treatments into his 5,236-page first-quarter Federal Election 
>Commission filing under "consulting" expenses.   Records show he doled out 
>$400 of his contributors' money to Beverly Hills mane maestros at 
>Torrenueva Hair Designs in February and another $400 to Torrenueva in early 
>March.   Joe Torrenueva is a stylist to the stars at his Wilshire Boulevard 
>salon, and has sculpted the scalps of actors in films such as "Cadence," 
>"Stand-Ins" and the Charles Bronson classic "Hard Times."      Further 
>fueling his critics who have painted him as a pretty boy and "Breck Girl," 
>Edwards also had his skin smoothed from stylists from the Pink Sapphire 
>salon in Manchester, N.H., for $225.      Pink Sapphire, which is geared 
>toward women, bills itself as a "unique boutique for the mind, body and 
>face," and its mission statement is to
>  "provide an avenue into the intriguing world of makeup."        In March, 
>Edwards also spent $250 of his donors' money for the talented technicians 
>at the Designworks Salon in Dubuque, Iowa - where a full-day spa package 
>runs $210 - to clip his coif and slap on some makeup in advance of a TV 
>session.      "We went to him," said a Designworks stylist who identified 
>herself only as Melissa, indicating beauticians and hairstylists travel to 
>Edwards' location to pretty him up for TV spots and campaign events.      
>Edwards spokesman Eric Schultz did not respond to requests for comment.   
>Pampering fit for a president is nothing new. Former President Bill Clinton 
>got his locks lopped off by celebrity hairstylist Christophe.      Last 
>summer, The Post broke the story that now-Democratic presidential 
>front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton ponied up nearly $3,000 in 
>campaign cash for her blond tresses to get some presidential pampering from 
>acclaimed D.C. stylist Isabelle Goetz.
>   Goetz was also John Kerry's hairstylist of choice in the buildup to his 
>failed 2004 White House bid.      Edwards' follicle flap is the latest 
>uproar in his "two Americas" - the one he talks about on the campaign trail 
>and the one in which he lives.   Edwards is taking heat for playing to the 
>poor while putting the finishing touches on a $5.3 million compound tucked 
>into 102 wooded acres outside Chapel Hill, N.C.   ian.bishop at nypost.com
