Comfortable in His Celebrity

Manolo says, the Manolo’s internet friend the Catherine she has reported back to the Manolo about her evening in the presence of the greatness.

The charity event was a great success.

David Hasselhoff could not have been more gracious and giving to the charity (Make-A-Wish). He spent much time talking with people, posing for pictures (like the one I’ve sent you….the one with he and I came out very blurry…the woman taking the photo for me was smashed!). He whipped up enthusiasm for the auction and I can’t tell you how impressed I was with his graciousness and unselfish behavior. Definitely not the usual asshole-ish behavior I’ve seen by other “celebrities” at these events. He looked very good, his wife was equally gracious and he helped our organization raise much more money than we could have without him there.

So, my shoe is off to him! Super fantastic!

Manolo says, super fantastic indeed!

Look here is the picture of the mighty Hasselhoff that the Catherine she has sent to the Manolo.
The Charitable Hasselhoff!
Manolo says, the Manolo he was glad to have been able to help prepare his friend meet this most very important and most very super fantastic person.

The Strappy Sandals in Neutral Color

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s many internet friends has asked the Manolo the question.

I have been graciously given a few coupons to use at Zappos.com But they are the “act fast or expire” kind. So armed with my new bonus of $70, I would like to find some neutral (bone, taupe, tan,bronze) strappy sandals.

I can probably put a few extra dollars onto it (70+150 or so) but am wondering which of their lot is

1) not matronly
2) not too high
3) fashionable

so I wonder, if the Manolo of the Shoeblogs.com would be so kind as to assist me.

Manolo says, the coupons! The friend of the Manolo is indeed most lucky. Here are three pairs of the super fantastic shoes that the Manolo thinks would be worth the wearing.

Stuart Weitzman - Suspend (Gold Matte Lame)  Manolo Likes!  Click

When the Manolo he thinks of the comfortable sandals of strappiness, he must indeed think of the Stuart Weitzman. This color, it is called the “gold matte lame”. Do not ask the Manolo how the “lame” it can also at the same of the time be “matte”. It sounds to the Manolo like the dangerous combination of the opposing materials, like the meeting of the matter and the anti-matter. Whatever, are they not indeed most pretty?

Charles David - Babe (Camel Kid)  Manolo Likes!  Click!

This one from the Charles David it is the simple and the classic choice, and in the color “camel kid” less dangerous than the “matte lame”.

Delman Café-MN (Shell)    Manolo Likes!  Click!

Finally, here is this beautiful shoe from the Delman. It is the little more elaborate, but it is also, in the humble opinion of the Manolo, stunning.

The Jay

The Jay

Manolo says, look it is the Jay McCarroll!

The Manolo he loves the Jay! He is the wonderful, sweet, talented young man. However, like many of the designers who dress the others well, he does not know how to dress himself well.

Yes, he is doing better than the last we saw him when he had the caftans and crochets, however, the Manolo he would still love to give the Jay the over-making.
