No Poncho Day

Manolo says, many of the Manolo’s internet friends have been emailing the Manolo to tell him that today, on the new show of the Martha Stewart, it was the Poncho Day.

Perhaps it is the time to renew our vows to the Manolo’s No Poncho Pledge.

And to remind you that the fashion mania for the Poncho it is now over.

    We are so over the poncho. Especially the “David Spade trying to be funny in a poncho” poncho.

    I just caught two minutes of Martha’s Show and Tell with the audience and noticed that she was giving away ponchos. Eek.




  2. sarah Says:

    the poncho is one of those rare items which looks terrible on *everyone.* the manolo is so right, as ever.




  3. Doodlebug Says:

    The David Spade, his roots, they are showing.




  4. Mimi Says:

    Pancho and Lefty. Hahahahahahahahahaha!




  5. ChaChaHeels Says:

    Okay: the ponchos were for a good cause, I know…but they are still ugly.
    Martha and Spade look like they were separated at birth.




  6. The Bloody Munchkin Says:

    Eeeeeeeee! The Bloody Munchkin said it in the e-mail, but the bloody munchkin must reiterate. Thank You!!!! I’m all giddy now!!!




  7. Cat Says:

    I think the last time I wore a poncho, I was about seven years old. Why would any grown woman (or man) wear one of those things? Why? WHY?




  8. VeddyVeddyBadAng Says:

    It appears that David Spade is trying to imitate Martha’s hairstyle - very funny. I don’t care what anyone says, I love David Spade, poncho or no poncho.




  9. Kai Jones Says:

    I’ve always thought that the poncho was an early draft of the straightjacket: it restrains the arms from any utility.




  10. Mimi Says:

    …but the Federales already got this Poncho.




  11. Kath Says:

    Ponchos and mules go together. The only time when a poncho is fashionable is when riding a mule.




  12. Beth Says:

    Ponchos in any form are a no. The Martha, she looks as if she is covered by the lint from the dryer.




  13. Mme. laVie Says:

    Lint from the dryer!! The Beth, she has captured the essence of the Martha’s dreaded poncho, ~much to the amusement of the Manolo’s delighted readers! Touche!

    “Ponchos and mules go together. The only time when a poncho is fashionable is when riding a mule.”

    Ha! You have made the Manolo laugh out loud!




  15. zippy Says:

    Time to round up the mules for those of us who have hung onto our ponchos…




  16. Mims Mimsington Says:

    The only people in real life I’ve seen wearing ponchos… were still in primary school.




  17. girls handbook Says:

    Wearing a poncho is like wearing a paperbag or a tarp it gives you no shape and people ask if you are hiding something.




  18. Moira Says:

    Ruanas are ok, tho, right?




  19. dimestore lipstick Says:

    How clever of David Spade to have the dark roots–it makes people think that’s his real hair. A great distraction from the true issue. You say “His roots are showing!”, but not “Why on Earth does he think he can get away with that dreadful fake mop?”




  20. shoelover Says:

    I think dave spade must have a new job as a Martha double




  21. Another Liz Says:

    I still can’t believe he has anything to do with Kate.




  22. Jill Says:

    Ponchos are soooo out! I have seen a couple already..ughhh. David Spade is hilarious!
