The WaPo tracked down John's stylist! And the stylist gave an interview. thx man. This is the trivia that will determine elections.
Happy 4th Motherfuckers!
I knew what they were going through, the cancer," Torrenueva said, referring to the session at the Sheraton Delfina hotel in Santa Monica, Calif. "My son had had cancer, so we talked."
Unlike two prior haircuts in January and February, which were paid for by the campaign, Edwards personally paid the $400 for the March cut, the stylist said.
When do we get the press corps we deserve? This story boils down to looking presentable on TV.
There was a woman, an award-winning clothes designer -- I think she works in film and onstage, too. She was there with her swatches with materials for colors of suits, ties and what we were doing there was discussing his look. I was there for hair
So John went to the people that make you look good on TV and paid them to do some work for him.
Torrenueva provided his first five haircuts for Edwards in late 2003 and early 2004 free of charge. "I was just doing it because I'm a Democrat," he said.
After Edwards became Sen. John F. Kerry's vice presidential running mate in summer 2004, Torrenueva started charging. There was one cut for $300 in mid-July in Los Angeles, shortly before the Democratic National Convention, the one for $1,250 in August in Atlanta, another in Washington in early October before a debate with Vice President Cheney, and the last was in Ohio shortly before the election.
WaPo jumps the shark!
Torrenueva agreed to meet Edwards at the Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles along with several fashion experts.
"There was a woman, an award-winning clothes designer -- I think she works in film and onstage, too. She was there with her swatches with materials for colors of suits, ties and what we were doing there was discussing his look. I was there for hair.
"What I did was, there was too much hair on top, always falling down, and it made him look too youthful. I took the top down and balanced everything out. He couldn't see it. But then we went into the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and said, 'I love this,' and that was it."
So what he did was hire a Film industry crew so he would look good on TV.
The liberal press in action.
