Last night, I went to an event at the CCP.  It was a tribute to Mrs. Imelda Marcos!  The event was called “7 Arts One Imelda“.  We were advised to come early, as the traffic was horrendous and the rain was pouring like you would not believe it. As we went up the ramp of the CCP, a group of demonstrators greeted us. I was worried at first, but thankfully, it was a peaceful demonstration.

The beautiful one emerged from the upstairs lobby! She really has a presence! Love her shoulder pad shape!

She was in such a good mood. Now, she is what you can call an ICON!

I was there to support the Arts.  You can say many things about Mrs. Marcos, but if there is one thing that she really cultivated in the Philippines during their regime, it was the promotion of Philippine Art and Culture. I was not allowed to bring my camera, so I felt really bad because I could not blog about it. Good thing Henri Calayag was sneaking his in, so these are his photos.

The show was the most SOSYAL variety show that I have ever seen! LOL! The program included notable Sopranos, Prima Ballerinas, Violinists and the like. I was so thrilled to be there, as these kind of events are very rare. I was actually amused at my calendar, because one night I am staring at barely dressed men and the next I am enjoying an evening of classical music and opera!  LOL!

My gang decided to take a photo withe her. Lets play a game? If you're a real observer of Philippine fashion, who am I with?

My date for the evening was my dear friend Patrice! She is so busy now, as she in charge of the entourage of Mar & Korina's wedding!

The second act was a bit strange for me, as it was a piece called “Imelda- Muse & Madness!” It was a cast of 300 or more performers. With several choirs & chorals, dancers, singers and even a segment filled with Imelda’s signature ternos, all being orchestrated with the baton of Mr. Ryan Cayabyab. Honestly, I found the whole second act disjointed and indulgent.  Madness talaga!

A cast of thousands! LOL!

A true patroness of the arts! You have to give this one to her! She built the CCP, right?!

All in all, it was an amusing evening. I was really too young to remember the glory days of the Marcoses, so this is the closest thing I will ever experience to the IMELDIFIC life. Thank you so much to Pepito Albert for inviting me!
HUGS!

RAJO!
