Edwards’ $400 Haircuts
Democrats have long tried to portray themselves as the “working man’s party”, and image John Edwards has had difficulty assuming for himself. After all, few blue collar workers have a warm place in their heart for high-priced personal injury lawyers.
And now another blow to Edwards’ polished image:
The Democrat’s campaign committee picked up the tab for two haircuts at $400 each by celebrity stylist Joseph Torrenueva of Beverly Hills, Calif., according to a financial report filed with the Federal Election Commission.
FEC records show Edwards also availed himself of $250 in services from a trendy salon and spa in Dubuque, Iowa, and $225 in services from the Pink Sapphire in Manchester, N.H., which is described on its Web site as “a unique boutique for the mind, body and face” that caters mostly to women.
Torrenueva confirmed that pretty-boy Edwards is a “longtime client and friend.”
