Splitting Hairs, Edwards’s Stylist Tells His Side of Story
For four decades, Joseph Torrenueva has cut the hair of Hollywood celebrities, from Marlon Brando to Bob Barker, so when a friend told him in 2003 that a presidential candidate needed grooming advice, he agreed to help.
The Beverly Hills hairstylist, a Democrat, said he hit it off with then-Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina at a meeting in Los Angeles that brought several fashion experts together to advise the candidate on his appearance. Since then, Torrenueva has cut Edwards’s hair at least 16 times.At first, the haircuts were free. But because Torrenueva often had to fly somewhere on the campaign trail to meet his client, he began charging $300 to $500 for each cut, plus the cost of airfare and hotels when he had to travel outside California.
Torrenueva said one haircut during the 2004 presidential race cost $1,250 because he traveled to Atlanta and lost two days of work.
“He has nice hair,” the stylist said of Edwards in an interview. “I try to make the man handsome, strong, more mature and these are the things, as an expert, that’s what we do.”
Read the rest if you want but why bother
The Edwards camp should just pack it in. When a candidate’s hairstyle is the biggest attention getter you know your campaign is doomed.
I was shocked to find that the Washington Post would even do this article; I thought it was a joke.
The Edwards campaign clearly went into clown mode when Liz Edwards had to play bully protector to her husband because he was too chicken shit to take on Coulter himself in a shameless fund raising ploy. Another hair story I guess to explain themselves, but why?
Other than John McCain this is clearly the worst run campaign this cycle.
I don’t count people like Brownback because someone has to take you seriously before you can become a “candidate” for President.
