Low Heels for the Working Girl

Manolo says, many of the Manolo’s internet friends have been asking the Manolo, “Manolo, we are the working girls who need to stride forcefully through the halls of the workingplace so that our co-workers may be impressed by the aura of power and competence we exude. But, we need the low-heeled shoes of business because we are the peoples who find it difficult to stride forcefully in the high heels. Please help us!” Although it is the opinion of the Manolo that the forceful business striding would best be done in the highest of heels, so that you may tower…

Miss Meghan Interviewed

Manolo says, the Manolo’s friend, and one of the judges of the Manolo’s Super Fantastic Shoe Contest, the Miss Meghan Cleary, she has been interviewed by the Gothamist! Where are you on the comfort vs. style continuum? Do we have to sacrifice one for the other? I have plenty of shoes I love but can only wear in very limited doses. You gotta be comfy and confident in your shoes or the rest of you will feel bad, that is sort of my philosophy. Saying that though, I have a pair of Sergio Rossi’s that I can only wear for…

Australia Loves the Manolo!

Manolo says, the New York Times they may ignore the Manolo, but the Sydney Morning Herald, they do not! It should come as no surprise to the fashion media that fashion blogs are on the rise: they’re starting to attract large audiences and ads while regularly lifting material from mainstream sites such as http://www.style.com. But a recent story in The New York Times on this burgeoning arena of citizen fashion reporters sadly overlooked the guy we think is the most entertaining: Manolo the Shoe Blogger (www.shoeblogs.com). Calling himself “the Manolo”, he has coined numerous Manolo-isms (many available on T-shirts, totes…

D & G Sophistication

Manolo says, the Manolo he has been most impressed by the fall shoes from the Dolce and the Gabbana. This one, for the example, it is urbane and sophisticated, but the brassy D&G hardwears, they make the shoe more assertive and edgy than the understated material and classic line would normally justify. This shoe it has contrasting rich brown leathers and the loafer-ish details of the kiltie and the chain all wedded incongruously to the pointy toe and stilleto heel. There is the sort of sophisticated visual wit here that gives the Manolo much pleasure.

The Gallery of the Horrors: The Sweat

Manolo says, the Manolo he has finally added the new horror to the Gallery of the Horrors, the Sweat from the Steve Madden. Manolo says, here you see one of the more lamentable fashion statements of this the new millenium, the Steve Madden’s “Sweat”. Yes, it is named, the Sweat. Most descriptive, no? Does the name and the shoe not conjure up the mental image of the three-hundred pound man-child, shuffling down the street in the filthy pajamas, clutching at the half masticated piece of the pizza? Yet, what is most unaccountable is that this shoe it is intended as…
