The trouble with electronic monitoring bracelets: “I can’t even wear my knee-high croc boots!” Oh, the horror!
If the ongoing Senate investigation into the “alleged misuse of military funds” is not graphic enough for you, revisit this 2009 interview with the high-living son of former military comptroller Carlos Garcia.
Marc by Marc Jacobs publicist Tim Garcia, under house arrest because of a criminal investigation, spent the night in a Gucci jacket and YSL boots.
Timothy Mark Depakakibo Garcia, a 25-year-old publicist for Marc by Marc Jacobs, has a court-ordered Fashion Week curfew. Perched on a sleek white Armani Casa chair in his apartment in the modern, gilded Trump Plaza at 502 Park Avenue, Garcia is decked in head-to-toe designer: a supple caramel leather Alessandro dell’Acqua jacket, Alexander McQueen jeans, a thin white LnA tee shirt and YSL boots. His wrists are adorned with a big Cartier gold and silver Tank watch, a Cartier Love bracelet, a white enamel Hermes bangle and a $1000 dollar large gold plated spiked Hermes cuff called the Collier de Chien.
The ankle bracelet limits Garcia’s fashion choices. “I can’t even wear my knee high croc boots by Sergio Rossi for the fall,” he laments. . .

“We are third generation despots in the Philippines,” he says. So that’s where you got the money! Sorry I didn’t know you were in the tyranny business, I thought it was just stealing.
If your blood pressure is a little low this should send it zooming upwards. How to wear that electronic monitor: Use a Chanel ankle pouch! Ooh, clever!
Thanks to Budjette and Chus for the reminders.

These pieces ran in the US, but is the local media any different? People are lionized for what they own (materially) rather than what they’ve done. This is not a recent development, but now that everyone is his own media center we seem to hear of nothing else.

Wow, just… I’m mortified!

Shameful.
Miriam Santiago may as well call him a “one-celled amoeba.”

Not helping with your idea of world domination, that’s for sure.
I need one of those barf bags.

Of course he’s joking. Right?

Ang ow-ey naman ni bakla.

what the hell? this is crazy! the horror!!! i have a dream: chop his tongue and limbs off with a rust-covered second-hand butcher knife!
“Basically they are accusing my father of stealing millions and misuse of public funds and me being his son, they locked up his entire family. The picture the Philippines press paints of my family is that we were dirt poor and with my father in this position for two years, we rose to astronomical riches. We are third generation despots in the Philippines.”

Bleh.
Dapat ipadala itong “one-celled amoeba” sa mga lugar na may bakbakan, para makita nya ang sitwasyon ng mga sundalo at mga taong apektado ng gulo. Not being able to wear his high croc boots for fall will be the least of his worry…pero sa liit ng utak nya baka rin hindi.

Huwag ninyong iinsultohin ang mga amoeba.

He could have all done us a favor by spending the money his dad stole on things that look good on him.

Sumakit yata ang batok ko pagkabasa ng artikulong ito. Salamat sa mga amoebarcia.

# 10 KeyserSoze –Gaya halimbawa ng isang Chanel na tapahoho at YSL na horseshoes for the fall. Ow Ey talaga si bakla.

@KeyserSoze: Koreeeeek! By the way, Crocs are fugly (the mass produced ones). Mga pa-rich na naloko ng pagka-mahal2x na pangit na sapatos ang gumagamit nun.
February 7th, 2011 at 18:16
Uhmmm . . . Ang ibig kong sabihin sa “mass produced ones” ay yung mga mukhang buwaya na may sangkatutak na imitations. Nagtataka talaga ako kung bakit hindi naisip ng karamihan na pangit ang mga sapatos na iyon. Parang bang The Emperor’s New Clothes ang drama. Walang nag-react o parang nabulag ang mga tao dahil sa kamahalan ng bagay. Basta mahal, automatic nang maganda. ehehe Pasensya na. Hindi masyadong halata ang inis ko sa Crocs.

OHMYGULAY! Former Sec. Reyes shot himself in the chest! There’s your clue, Gen. Garcia. You know…
Keysersoze – There’s only one favor that this family of one-celled amoeba can do for the Filipino people: return the frickin’ money. All of it.
