Stephen Harper won’t divulge his stylist’s salary

Despite appearances, Stephen Harper has his very own Rachel Zoe, a personal stylist to attend to his makeup, hair and clothing needs. Debates over MP expenses turned up the information that Michelle Muntean, Harper’s grooming guru, is now paid by the Conservative Party, but her salary and travel expenses are being kept secret. Her pay, which used to come from taxpayers, has people up in arms over knowing how much was coming from the tax coffers to keep Harper looking so darned spiffy. Muntean’s official tasks are mundane, like picking out suits and ties and co-ordinating hair and makeup, but we prefer to think of her as Canada’s answer to Lisa Kline.
