from Boston Globe, Apr 17
THE PLACE: Pink Sapphire, a day spa and makeup and skin care boutique in Manchester (N.H.). 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.

“ Pink Sapphire caters mostly to women,...”
Unbelievable. Well..not really.
Only a Democrat like Edwards would be so tone deaf as to
a) go to a spa in the first place and
b)go to one with Pink and Sapphire in the title.
In my world, ( the other America ) real men don’t go to spas.
I bet his “ rabid, rabid Republican “ gun owning neighbor has never set foot in a spa.
My money’s on Edwards having the “ $25 “socialite” makeup do for a night on the town. “
Or the Brazilian wax.
He made payments for a haircut?
