Cindy McCain wearing a house, or two

marjorie says...

The fashionistas over at Vanity Fair are getting in on the political game. Since the notion that Barack Obama is an elitist is being pushed by the R's they figured they'd break down the pricetag of one of Cindy McCain's outfits during the RNC. Their fashion experts tell us that if her earrings are the real deal, she was wearing in the ballpark of $300,000 last Tuesday night:

Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100
In their words, the price of a Scottsdale split-level hanging from her ears.
Who's elite?
