Heart Evangelista’s Pooch The World’s Richest?

Leave a comment

In the glittering world of Heart Evangelista, where luxury is not just a lifestyle but a species-wide right, it’s no surprise that her pet dog is vying for the title of the world’s richest. 

Mrs. Chiz Escudero, ever the doting fur mom, proudly flaunts her pooch in a P10 million Bulgari necklace, because nothing says “I love you” like a diamond choker on your canine companion. 

Of course, the pup likely dines on pâté and caviar while checking its Rolex for the next scheduled walk. 

One can only hope Heart has enlisted a small army—say, 400 close-in security personnel—to protect this four-legged royalty from any stray cats or suspicious squirrels. After all, it’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, and not everyone’s cut out for the high-stakes world of designer dog collars and gourmet kibble.

Oh, Imelda’s Shoes!

Leave a comment

In a twist of irony that even the most skilled cobbler couldn’t stitch together, the Marikina Shoe Museum has reopened its doors, welcoming none other than Imelda Romualdez Marcos as a guest of honor.

Yes, the very same former First Lady whose vast shoe collection became a symbol of opulence and extravagance. It seems fitting, then, that she would grace the halls of a museum dedicated to the industry she inadvertently — or purposely spotlighted.

Visitors can now marvel at around 700 pairs of her once-ridiculed shoes, alongside those of past Philippine presidents. The museum offers a fascinating tutorial on traditional shoe-making, a nostalgic nod to an era before designer labels hijacked our soles and wallets.

For a minimal entrance fee, you can step into history—literally—while pondering the curious case of how shoes can tread the fine line between fashion statement and historical artifact.

Unique Barong Design For Filipino Olympians Unveiled

1 Comment

In a bold fusion of fashion and functionality, Filipino flagbearers Nesthy Petecio and Carlo Paalam will stride into the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony clad in “Sinag” barongs, courtesy of renowned designer Francis Libiran.

The Philippine Olympic Committee announced Wednesday that the intricate design, inspired by the humble arm and shoulder sling, will debut on July 26. This avant-garde choice, which Adobo Chronicles cheekily notes might double as emergency medical attire, is already turning heads.

Libiran, always a trailblazer, has brilliantly merged style with an innovative nod to injury recovery gear. “It’s a statement on resilience,” he quipped, as the nation applauded the unexpected twist.

Critics, however, wonder if the next fashion frontier might include neck braces or orthopedic boots.

In any case, Petecio and Paalam are set to parade not just the flag but also the country’s flair for turning adversity into high fashion.
