What’s one of the hottest-selling (for $10) T-shirts at several Westwood-area stores?

It’s an Academy Awards parody, featuring ousted Prez Marcos and wife, Imelda, as the stars of “Out of Manila With the Color Green.” The shirt touts this epic as “the biggest flim C in Philippine history” and winner of “7 A-Scam-A-Day Awards.” They include: “Best Direction (in a quick getaway),” “Best Accumulation in Wardrobe and Footwear,” “Best Palace and Bathroom Decoration” and “Best Song (I Am the World).”

Tag line at the bottom: “Coming soon to a country near you!”

Said promoter Mark Kogan, who designed the shirt, “Too tempting to pass up. It’s so Hollywood, especially Marcos’ accounting practices.”
