11 Things Carly Fiorina's 'Body Woman' Always Has Handy
The 2016 GOP candidate favors "crunchy gum" over the soggy variety.
— -- What makes a good “body person”?
Carly Fiorina believes she has the best in the business with her personal assistant, Rebecca Schieber, who recently gained some notoriety when The Associated Press profiled her. One of the tools that makes Schieber so good at her job, Fiorina demonstrates in a new Facebook video, is the overstuffed purse full of various necessities and little convenience items that she hauls around on the campaign trail.
In the video, Schieber and Fiorina give us a sneak peek inside the purse. Here are some of the items found inside:
1. “The crunchy gum”
The first thing Scheiber pulls from her bag — and a must-have item for the candidate — is what Fiorina refers to as “crunchy gum.” The Chiclet-style gum is a matter of personal preference for Fiorina, who explains, “I don’t like soggy gum; I like crunchy gum.”
Scheiber then whips out her own gum favorite, which Fiorina might refer to as “soggy,” because, well, Schieber doesn’t like the same kind of gum as Fiorina.

3. Snacks
4. Hand sanitizer
5. Little toothbrushes
6. Sewing Kit
7. Pantyhose
8. Sharpies
Diving into her easy-access side pockets, Schieber pulls out a collection of Sharpies. “Oh, this is very important,” Fiorina says to camera. “Everywhere I go, I’m asked to sign things … and Rebecca, ever at the ready, has the Sharpie pens.”
Schieber then reveals her special variety silver Sharpie. “People are always very impressed,” Fiorina says in reaction to the silver marker.

10. The Electronics Section
11. Deck of Cards
As a distraction from the near-constant rigors of campaign life, Fiorina and her traveling team will sometimes play a game of cards when traveling. But Fiorina says she has recently sworn off the deck of cards after Schieber beat her a few too many times.
