Imelda Marcos, notorious shoe hog and widow of dictator Ferdinand Marcos, will be launching "The Imelda Collection" of fashion jewelry and accessories on Nov. 18 . Apparently this was prompted by her grandson, Martin "Borgy" Manotoc. She recalls, "One day my grandson came to me and said, `Mama Meldy, I would like to use your collection to tell the world the real Imelda and the spirit of my grandma,'" she told reporters. "It's only beauty that can feed the spirit."
The Marcoses have been accused of amassing ill-gotten wealth and were driven out of the presidential palace by a military-backed, nonviolent uprising in 1986. The government has recovered about $1.6 billion in cash and assets from the Marcoses and their associates, including Swiss bank deposits now worth about $680 million.
