Wait, Ken looked better than Harper...that's what I like to believe anyway.

I wonder if we serve as the secret muses to the major news groups. I mean...I was just joking about Harper's make up, but looky! Someone (CP) did some sleuthing to get the answers!

It's not a novel concept that a price tag is involved with the appearance of heads of state [hos], but does it really have an effect upon, say, the way we vote? Or the credence we, as citizens, attach to what hos say or do? I'm not sure if I have an answer to these questions myself, but I would like to say that so long as hos show up in a shirt and tie, then it's all good. Maybe a little lotion for skin care, but that's just expected.

After exploring what effects primping hos have upon the general public, will all of this 'dressing up' offer any insights as to how hos perceive the general voting public? What expectations do hos have when they change their appearance for different audiences? Say you're walking down a street and Harper shows up, looks at you, and strikes up a conversation in the rouge his 'personal primper' advised he wear, what are his expectations?

I didn't mean anything with the anacronym.

BREAKING: We ARE paying for the Ken look!!

As an aside, notwithstanding how much of an impact buffing the PM's style stats has, someone's going to have to explain to me why it's a big deal that taxpayers are paying for our PM to look, say, presentable as a world leader. (I'm assuming that's the goal, anyway.)

Not a very good stylist?

well... okay then Ed... um... what stylist, in their right mind, would make a man look like a Ken doll all the time??

Ken dolls kill in Quebec focus groups.

And the drop-off in Alberta for wearing lipstick (for a Conservative PM) is miniscule until you get to the extreme end of the range.

Even then they still poll higher than the bastards stealing our money and giving it to Quebec. Er, the Liberal bastards, that is.

Didn't you just answer your own question?

Anyways, I guess he has been looking a little 'red' lately. Which of course means the opposition gets to make fun of him in question period (and get paid 150k+ a year to do it).

so... if Harper's got a permanent stylist, why does he still look like a Ken doll all the time? it's eerie.


and so plastic

For Percy:

Who is paying for all that make-up he is wearing?
