St Petersburg Times Horrible Stanton Coverage Continues

The St. Petersburg Times coverage of Susan Stanton has been horrible. Now it has morphed into an episode of Oprah.

A blow dry, manicure

Monday night's reception capped a busy day for Stanton, who awoke about 2:50 a.m. She couldn't sleep, so she wrote in her journal for an hour and a half.

About 5 a.m., she went on a run to the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial and Capitol. Later that morning, she changed hotels after a scheduling conflict, checking in for the first time as Susan Stanton. She had to travel to Washington as Steve Stanton.

Later in the morning, she had her first professional blow dry and manicure.

For the day's events, her hair was styled fluffy on top with wispy bangs in front. She chose a soft rose color to accent her sporty nails. She admired herself in the mirror.

"I could get used to this, " she said, as the manicurist massaged her hands.

Stanton is in Washington to lobby Congress to back hate crimes legislation. You won't find out much about that from the article. You do learn Stanton ate a salad.
