According to this blog Lo que dice Damian.. Lady Margarita apparently is the Ismelda Marcos of hats. She loves them so much that she supposedly has more than 3000 of them, some of them costing as much as 10k USD. The article also touches on a supposed trip to The NYC where she had a store on 5th avenue close just for her to shop - a la Paris Hilton - and came out of there with a nice bill of about 118,000 USD. She is in charge of a budget of about 700 million pesos a month and has to answer to no one on how she spends that money.

Typical Third World country rulers' attitude... :tired:

She has 20 million a month. No controls, yes. No accounting. Who would dare do an audit??? Not now, maybe later...after May 2012. That post just confirmed what I have been saying for years...

She warned us in an interview for Clave (EPD) back in 2006 that we'd have to get used to her hats. She also came out with these pearls:

[Q] La gente comenta sobre sus vestidos, sombreros y asesores.
[A] No necesitamos tanta asesor?a para verme bonita. Le agradezco al Se?or que me hizo as?. Desde peque?a he tenido estilo. Cuando estaba en la universidad no aceptaba que mucha gente me dijera "t?". Hab?a que tratarme de usted.

[Q] - People comment on your dresses, hats and advisors.
[A] - We (sic) don't need much advice to look pretty. I thank the Lord for
making me this way. I've had style since I was a little girl. When I was at university I didn't let many people address me as "t?". You had to address me using "usted".

We have Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann, go figure.

How could anyone take any person seriously much less a politician saying they they are by their very nature important and therefore demand respect? Sounds like the quintessential banana republic politician.

Is anyone really surprised? This is par for the course in the DR! Only surprise is that someone found out and opened their mouth.

My beautiful Dominican wife who is my resident expert on all things Dominican says this is not possible and must be incorrect. She has been wrong but I cannot remember when as it relates to the DR.

Go to Google images and search on "margarita cedeno reina isabel" for another "bucket" of laughs.
