Bachmann paid Fox News makeup artist $4,700 -- she's criticized either way...

The Raw Story:
"Natalie Hale told the Minneapolis City Pages that Bachmann paid her $225 for three separate makeup sessions in 2010.

'I know for a fact if Michele has to pay for makeup she will usually instead do it herself,' Hale said. 'As a result of this -- Saturday night live makes fun of her -- so she's crucified by the media either way.'



Many may consider Bachmann's latest expenditures outrageous for someone who says Washington should live within its means, but big spending on hair and makeup by candidates is not unheard of."
