Manolo says, the very naughty, and yet very nice Alexa has asked the Manolo to remind you that the weekly Carnivale of the Sins, it is looking for the racy blog stories about the Seven Deadly Sins.

Manolo says, look at this.

Brad Pitt has turned to his “Ocean’s Twelve” co-star George Clooney for comfort following the break-up of his four-year marriage to Jennifer Aniston.

Clooney has been comforting Pitt and even joking about the threat to his position as one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors. He even suggested Brad take a break, offering him his Italian villa as a free holiday destination.

And just days after announcing his split from Aniston, Pitt flew off to Japan on a promotional trip for “Ocean’s Twelve,” spending two days with George in the Far East.

Manolo says, the Clooney he is the shameless wrecker of the home!

(Many thanks to the Manolo’s internet friend the Sarah for the tip!)

Manolo says, sometimes the pictures they do not even need the captions.

Manolo says, everyone they are now doing the shoeblogging, even the big blogs.

Manolo says, of the recently many of the Manolo’s newer internet friends they have been asking the Manolo, “Manolo, sometimes, the shoe you select I do not like, and so what makes this shoe the super fantastic?”

So, the Manolo he has dug back into his archives and brought out this post from many months ago, to explain what makes something the super fantastic.

….

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s many internet friends has written the e-mail to the Manolo asking the question.

I must ask a question: what are your requirements for a shoe that measures high enough on your superfantastic scale to be featured on your blog? What do you look for? A certain style? A specific look? What makes a superfantastic shoe superfantastic?

Manolo says, this question, it is a very good question, but a very difficult question for the Manolo to answer.

Manolo says, sometimes the shoe it jumps out at the Manolo and says, “I am the perfect shoe!”

For the example, the Manolo, he absolultely loves this shoe by the Yves Saint Laurent.

It is, this shoe, the perfect black suede pump; the platonic ideal of the pump. The workmanship is the top level, the material is beautiful, and there is no doubt in the mind of the Manolo that this is a shoe every girl, she should own.

So, it is a very logical that this is super fantastic.

Yet the other times, Manolo says, this question it is difficult because the Manolo he cannot explain sometimes why he thinks a particular shoe it is super fantatstic. For the example, this shoe by the Donald J. Pliner.

Manolo says, this shoe is wonderful!

On the one of the hands it is in a classic although somewhat of the stodgy form, the mocassin toe loafer. Yet, on the other of the hands, the material, it is the calf hair, in the black and white, like the funky cowboy chaps, and it has the red rubber-esque soles

Alone, says the Manolo, these things they would not make for the super fantastic shoe, but somehow, when the Donald Pliner put them together they became more than the sum of their parts! And so, it is difficult for the Manolo to explain with the logic why it is super fantastic, because there is the shoe magic at work.

Manolo has said before there is a place where the fashion it lies, and that place it is on the line between the classic and the trashy. The fashion, the real fashion, it is a balancing of the various, seemingly contradictory elements.

Sometimes the Manolo he can explain why something, it is super fantastic, other times, the Manolo can only feel the super fantasticness in the vibrating of his very being.

Manolo says, the Manolo he has made the website the help the man pick out the ties that are worth wearing. It contains pictures of 24 beautiful ties that any man would be proud to own.

So, if you are the man shopping for the tie, or the woman shopping for the man who needs the tie…click here to go to Manolo’s Cravats Worth The Wearing.

Manolo says, the Manolo he is usually indifferent to the shoes of the John Fluevog. They are sometimes just too trendy for his more classical tastes.

However, this funky maryjane shoe, of all the Fluevog shoes, is the one the Manolo he likes the best. And now, it is on the sale! Reduced almost $90 of the American dollars.

There are the other Fluevog bargains to be seen at the Manolo’s Basement of the Bargains!

Manolo says, it is the Tuesday, and so it must be the time for the regular round of the What The Manolo Is…

Reading…

Watching…

Reading…

Listening to…

Watching…

Manolo says, serveral of the peoples they have asked the Manolo what he thinks of the new book of the Tom Wolfe, I Am The Charlotte Simmons, which the Manolo he was reading it two of the weeks ago.

Here is the Manolo’s opinion on this work. It was just the okay… which in the context of the Tom Wolfe, whom the Manolo thinks is a genius, is somewhat of the disappointment. The Manolo, he wanted to like it, but it was not up to the high standard of A Man in The Full, which the Manolo considers the great work.

Frankly, the The Charlotte Simmons, it was a little boring, a little ridiculous, a little too much of what we already know about the students of the college. (“They are the Horndogs! Quelle Suprise!”)

Manolo says, they deserve each other.

Manolo says, this boot from the Donald J. Pliner, the Manolo he likes. They are the straightforward, the simple, and yet “hip” with the buckle and the heel of chunkiness.

Manolo says, “And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast.”

Manolo says, in the future of the post-apocalyptic ice-age we will all dress like this.
