Move over, Cindy McCain. There's a new fashionista in town:

The Republican National Committee appears to have spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74.

The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September. The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after reporting no such costs in August.

Five thousand dollars for hair and make-up? As Americans face a depression?
