Imeldific 8.5

Imeldific is an adjective that means ostentatiously extravagant to the point of vulgarity. Coined after the Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos, Imeldific 8.5 represents the lavishness and greediness of our very own Imelda Marcos. I'm not an anti Marcos but the Newsweek's Greediest People of All Time where Mrs. Marcos landed a spot triggered me to create this art work. Known for her collections of thousands of pairs of shoes (2,700 pairs or 5,400 shoesto be exact), 8.5 or 8 1/2 is the shoe size of Imelda Marcos. Aside from shoes, Imedlific 8.5 was also inspired to her massive collections of gowns, jewelries, paintings and real estates. This collections have allowed her to gain notoriety.
