Luxurious Belongings Of Imelda Marcos Seen Damaged At Museum

In this photo taken Aug. 14, 2012 and released Sunday, Sept. 23, 2012 by the Philippine National Museum, former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos’ dress ragged by termites is shown at a section of the National Museum in Manila, Philippines. Termites, storms and government neglect have damaged some of Imelda Marcos’s legendary stash of shoes, expensive gowns and other vanity possessions, which were left to oblivion after she and her dictator husband were driven to U.S. exile by a 1986 popular revolt. <AP Photo/Philippine National Museum>
