OH...MY...GOODNESS...

Wow. So apparently this is what her high hairedness is giving away as a parting gift when you leave her presence nowadays. Thank you so much to Anne-Marie, Annick, Geert, and Jeff from Brussels for this precious bouquet of painted olive shell "roses" and capiz "leaves" glued atop a glass jar full of sand and clams crowned with a huge mother of pearl disc that has the image of our former first lady set in between the words, "Love and Best Wishes Imelda". It was given to them by the great shoed one herself after she interviewed "Madame" for a Belgian documentary being done on the world's most popular first ladies. Naturally, they didn't want to ruin this amazing historical artifact by stuffing it into the aeroplanes baggae hold. So instead, it was given to me for safekeeping in Manila when they left the country. I proudly display it now on the toilet watertank in the bathroom of The Living Room. It's gorgeous... Just... Just gorgeous...
