Hahaha, another thing she has in common with Ms. Simmons........

Well, now I think I might bring it to the top of my cue at Netflix.....

a little OTT parhaps- but i come from a family where having a single flawless stone was considered superior to inferior jems in an elaborate setting. BTW what did people expect about her taste in jewellery- just remember her shoes- a lot of them but all 'fugly'

imelda makes kimora look simple!!!

Constance · 23-09-2005

ooppppsss... really sorry for the double post

That must suck (and I'm not talking about the jewelry and Kimora Lee Simmons). Her husband worked so hard to steal that money so he could buy her jewelry, and it was going to be auctioned by the government that overthrew her?

*Anyway, I'm full Filipino, and my dad was around when the Marcoses ruled, tiara and everything.

fouroclock: maybe that's what you call karma?

I'm a Filipino too, well Filipina to be exact.

I just hope the money from the auction won't go to waste... ahem ahem

Hey folks, I put up a photo in my CP but it's not showing up..any suggestions??

I've met Imelda myself when I was little (8 or 9), in her house. When you stand next to her, you think she's royalty. She really does have gracefulness, class, and elegance going for her. All I have to say, you can't judge a person unless you meet them face to face.

webdiva888 · 27-09-2005

I have met her as an adult and I can tell you that she is living in LULU Land. A child doesn't have a very good perspective on reality. I am glad you enjoyed that experience as a child...but as an adult.....I am afraid her mind is bent. There you have it

That number seems low to me for some reason. 1200? But i guess back in the 80s that was alot of pairs of shoes.
