Meghan McCain, daughter of presidential contender John, has a new memoir out about the campaign, ‘Dirty, Sexy Politics.’ Though there’s not much dirt or sex (she says she swore off the latter for the duration), there are, All the Rage is happy to note, some style and beauty insights of a political nature. For instance, image consultants redid her ‘stripper’-blond hair and dulled down her wardrobe, then billed the campaign. During the convention, Meghan was turned away by a makeup artist busy with the Palin offspring, whom she was told would ‘get more air time.’ She thought Sarah Palin was the most beautiful politician she’d ever seen but also that she seemed to be interested in her own ambitions more than McCain’s. OK, maybe that is a little bit of dirt! [Washington Post]
It’s 90210 Day. Really. (Sept. 2, 2010, if you’re still one cup shy of your morning caffeine.) And it’s giving die-hard fans of the show set in the Beverly Hills Zip Code some giggles. Now, guys, if the girl in your life is hooked on the modern version of the show, you can find the perfect gift for her, thanks to the CW, which, like some other smart networks, is selling some of the characters’ ‘looks.’ This morning, for instance, I found Adrianna’s snake bracelet on sale for $95, Naomi’s gray Bridgette purse for $599 and Silver’s chain lariat necklace-and-earring set for $20.
