Imelda Marcos Is BACK!
With a vengeance, my friends.
Former first lady of the Philippines Imelda Marcos—known for spending millions on shoes, clothing and real estate while her countrymen lived in poverty—has launched a fashion jewelry collection.
Marcos, 77, created the Imelda Collection this month after learning of the "hopelessness and helplessness of Filipinos everywhere," according to the collection's Web site.
Marcos used components of her personal collection of costume jewelry from around the world and Swarovski crystals to create the jewelry, which includes bib necklaces, brooches and bracelets.
"You don't have to be rich to be beautiful," Marcos says in a statement on the Web site. "Sometimes I have been rich. Sometimes I haven't. But there is still beauty out there. It may cost you the earth, it may be quite cheap, but in nature it might even be free."
Marcos created the jewels at the urging of her son, Martin "Borgy" Manotoc.
The Web site does not give further information about the jewelry's distribution or price points.
The shoes, Imelda, your 3000 pair of shoes!! Give us the shoes!

I thought they were kicked out of the Philippines.
