Yes, we should be aware when RNC -- reflective narcissistic cosmetologists -- 
decide that substantive changes are needed in someone's perceived appearance.

Ah, those amazing images of northern Euro-centric lineage, perhaps from a 
Hemingway family branch, as if she were christened Heidi Hildegarde, of 
masculine bravado under a fine, thin, layer of jowless cheek -- 
unforgettable.

Just so. The next series should include an Abrams tank, an open-doored Chinook 
helicopter with an amazing rapid-fire machine gun, a beached Beluga freshly 
harpooned, and, from her African adventures, one of those ivory-bearing 
elephants from the deep, dark jungles -- or at least a game preserve captive.

You may have a point there. After the news of the purchases broke, even those 
consumers who confused their millions, billions, and trillions understood 
right away that 150,000 dollars worth of blouses, pants, and really red high 
heels would fill a good-sized walk-in closet. And at Target or JCPenney 
prices, a large house full of good-sized closets. So, this awareness raising, 
and the decisions made in its wake, were not without value.

Nieman Marcus in Minneapolis -- $75,062.63

Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York -- $49,425.74

A month of hair care expenses -- $4,716.49

Assuring a civicly challenged, national novice gets nowhere near the White 
House -- priceless!

The USA FedCard. Americans don't live life without it.
