According to campaign expense documents, Edwards received $225 worth of beauty treatments at the Pink Sapphire Spa. (that doesn’t include his $400 haircuts)

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.

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 - who specializes in men’s haircuts - confirmed in an interview with The Associated Press that Edwards is a longtime client and friend.

“I do cut his hair and I have cut it for quite a while,” Torrenueva said. “We’ve been friends a long time.”

Campaign records also show the former North Carolina senator’s campaign paid $248 on March 1 to the Designworks Salon in Dubuque.

According to Designworks’ Web site, the salon and spa features a wide variety of beauty and health services, including massages, facials, body polishes, self tanners, and rosemary mint and Caribbean therapy body wraps.

Which hair ? Edwards being the ultimate metrosexual, I have no doubt he has his hair at both ends neatly trimmed. I'll bet ya a sawbuck his southern thatch is shaped like a heart.

The campaign paid $800 for two haircuts from the Torrenueva salon. Designworks provided $248 worth of camera-ready makeup. And Pink Sapphire was called on two occasions for Edwards’s makeup needs at $150 and $75 a visit. Together they account for $1,273 worth of professional grooming, from trims to foundation.

Edwards built his fortune on representing the little guy in court; he obviously was successful at it.

Edwards built his fortune on total fraud in his crooked malpractice shyster days.

His junk science scam was that all North Carolina cerebral palsy was caused by obstetricians not doing enough c-sections. Edwards enriched himself by causing enormous injuries to women and babies, not to mention the health care delivery system.

He is an evil charlatan with a sociopath phony smile.

ROTFL - and I'll bet another sawbuck that when they're done with his massage they powder his butt with baby powder.

The Pink Sapphire?

We have got to keep this guy in politics, he is priceless. Where else can you come up with this stuff? This is better than Saturday Night Live.

“...right now he is running the least credible, least authentic campaign out there.”

I would expect nothing less from a lying trial lawyer. One hope of our society is that indeed there is a judgment and he will answer one day—as we all will.

Edwards is lacking that elusive quality: authenticity.

My objection to Edwards is not because he spends money like he has plenty of it, but because he is a classic socialist who wants to protect his own wealth why spending mine.

His entire theme is class war-fare, pitting one class against another.

He never speaks on any subject that does not further socialism. He comes across as a phony.
