Manolo Loves the Capitalism!

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

Manolo says, not to be the crass person concerned with the moneys, but there is the interview with the Manolo at the site of the Problogger, the blogger who writes about the business side of the blogging world.

The Manolo he makes no secret of what he does here. He considers himself to be similar to the personal shopper who is also the amusing companion. He tells the joke or two, he bloviates on the fashion, he gently mocks the celebrities, and he recommends the shoes and the clothes that are worth the wearing to his many internet friends.

Yes, the Manolo he makes the little bit of the moneys off of his humble shoe blogs. But this it is to be celebrated, that we live in the place where the peoples are free to make the money while doing the things they love.

P.S. If you are visiting this place for the first time, be certain to see the front page of the blog of the Manolo, so that you may understand better what it is that the Manolo does here.

This is Sad

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

Ayyyyyyyy!

Here is the depressing photo of the Donatella Versace, the woman who has so much, and yet still feels the intense need to carve her face into the simalacrum of beauty.

The Manolo he does not mind the occasional nip or the little tuck, this it is not bad, but the grand attempt to turn back the hands of the time, or the desire to remake the features of the perfectly attractive face, it is disturbing and suggests the sadness and insecurity at the core of the person’s being.

The Manolo, he prefers one who is content to work with what the nature has given, who understands that symmetry is frequently overrated, who knows that old is not ugly.


What the Manolo Is…

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

Manolo says, here is this weeks list of what the Manolo is…

Reading…

Watching…

Reading…

Listening to…

The Manolo he must recommend to you The Seasoning of a Chef it is funny and well written and about the food and the cooking. If, like the Manolo, you are the gourmand who enjoys reading the books about the food and the cooking, then it is certainly for you. Even the better, not only is it the good read, but it is written by the Manolo’s literary agent and friend, the Micheal Psaltis and his twin brother the Chef Doug.


Franco Sarto for the Poor Girls

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

Manolo says, many of the Manolo’s internet friends have been again emailing the Manolo, begging, “Manolo, please to help us, we are the poor girls who have no moneys but who need the super fantastic shoes!”

As always, the Manolo he would tell the poor girls to save the moneys carefully so that they may be able to purchase the true shoes of super fantasticness. Nothing can compare to this.

However, at the same of the time, the Manolo he knows what it is like to be poor, so poor that you must fashion your own super fantastic shoes out of the prison blankets and second-hand suits you have purchased for pennies at the store of thriftyness.

And so the Manolo he has selected three pairs of the autumnal shoes from the Franco Sarto that will hold the poor working girl until she is able to afford something wonderful.

Franco Sarto Cherub (Women's) - Blaco Kid Suede/Tejus

Not only are the shoes of the round toes comfortable, but they are this season in.

Franco Sarto Proud (Women's) - T. Moro Kid Suede/Coco Lizard/Gold Metallic

The colors of this shoe, the Manolo he found them appealing. And like many of the shoes of the Franco Sarto these they are strongly reminscent of the good shoes of the Bruno Magli, only executed in the China, with the inferior materials, and poor quality workmanship. (One gets what one pays for, which is why one should save the moneys and buy quality.)

Franco Sarto Iota (Women's) - Chianti Crocco/Espresso Calf

Here is another of the shoes of that would be good for the stylish working girl, perhaps the poor, just-starting-out professional who wishes to impress the hunky young FedEx man.
