The online version of Allure quotes former first Lady Imelda Marcos:
Imelda Marcos once said, "Beauty is not extravagance; beauty is life." For once, we actually agree with the former First Lady. We now present some of the necessary extravagances named the winners of Allure's 2008 Readers' Choice Awards.
Kudos to Allure for recognizing the infamous shoe collector and a double kudos to Ms. Marcos for continuing to dress to impress (at 79).
This photo was taken last year. She's the sweet lass in blue.
The Marakina Shoe Museum has some of her shoes on display.
