Why hasn't the media reported that Stephen Harper wears a toupee. Normally you could say this really doesn't matter in the scheme of things however I think it says volumes considering we, as taxpayers, are paying to have Michelle Munteen to be his private makeup artist and hairdresser to help maintain the pretense. Keep your secret Stevie, just don't make me pay for it. In one news broadcast, you can see his hair momentarily levitate when a gust of wind hit it and on two other occasions the toupee shifted a degree or two clockwise or counter clockwise.
Here's an article from CTV.ca
CTV.ca News Staff
Pierre Trudeau wore flowers in his lapel and Sir Mackenzie Bowell favoured a thick white beard, but Stephen Harper is the first prime minister to have a personal stylist paid for by taxpayers.
Michelle Muntean, a former stylist for CTV News, fusses over Harper's hair, selects his clothes, and even accompanies him on official trips -- most recently to France for the Vimy Ridge Memorial ceremony.
