Imelda Marcos to open museum for her shoes.

Not all her shoes, mind you, just several thousand of them.

This is very exciting news! Thanks for the posting. I have long had a shoe and foot fetish. Will this be a hands-on museum, sort of like a petting zoo? Hope so.

This is something I will pay to see. And maybe do some comparative analysis of the shoes from the various "eras/dynasty" (stage of the Marcos influence/power).

i have been fortunate enough to get an up-close look at the woman's feet, and let me tell you, they were better dressed than my feet have ever been (or will ever be).

i know that looks like a wax statue, but she is just wearing a lot of make-up.

Whoa! That is a hell of a lot of make-up.
