I was born ostentatious. They will list my name in the dictionary someday. They will use Imeldific to mean ostentatious extravagance.
Imelda Marcos was, is, and always will be queen.
Girl had so many pairs of shoes she put them in a museum.
How many?
She doesn’t even know.
She had so many shoes she left 1,220 pairs of them at the Presidential Palace when she fled.
AND THEY HAD ALL BEEN WORN.
She almost bought the Empire State Building but said “it’s too ostentatious”.
She’s even got a freakin Michelangelo.

At 85 years old she’s a member of Congress in the Philippines and worth five BILLION dollars, the richest woman in the country.
And she was on Season 1 of Project Runway Philippines.
Here’s a quote of Imelda’s, just to get you into her mindset:
It is not expensive to be beautiful. It takes only a little effort to be presentable and beautiful. But it takes some effort. And unfortunately people think of beauty as luxury, beauty as frivolity, … or extravagance. Beauty is a discipline, beauty is art, is harmony, in the ideological sense and in the theological sense, beauty is God and love made real. And the ultimate reach in this world is beauty.
She’s a living piece of history, and it’s cool she posed for this badass selfie with two tourists.
it goes without saying: queen
