We have a Moroccan restaurant not far from us. The food is wonderful.
Once, many years ago, as we sat eating/lounging, a large party came in
and every person on staff jumped to attention to seat and attend the
group, who were all very well dressed..almost formally so for the men,
who were sort of beefy, big guys.

Ultimately, we got to see who the "star" of the large party was -
Imelda Marcos. The guys were her body guards.

She had on really nice shoes.
