Got a tip for a post?:

Editor's note: We had an impromptu guess-a-thon here in the AlterNet office and no one was even close. Laura Bush had the good sense to rock duds only costing somewhere between $3,425 to $4,325 ... but Cindy ... well it's just ridiculous.
Vanity Fair does the numbers on the "banana look" so you don't have to :
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
