A barefoot Imee Marcos shines on Philippine Tatler cover

A barefoot Imee Marcos shines on Philippine Tatler cover
So, is there really a Marcos who's not fond of shoes?

Ilocos Norte Governor Maria Imelda Josefa "Imee" Marcos poses for the cover of the October 2015 cover of society magazine Philippine Tatler, wearing a very red terno gown -- and barefooted.

The striking magazine photo is a complete turnaround from the image of her mother, former First Lady and currently Ilocos Norte 2nd District Rep. Imelda Marcos -- who, at one point in her life might have owned about 3,000 pair of shoes.

The magazine cover also reveals her true age, which is 60 years old. Age really is just a number.

For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...
