Manolo says, Ayyyyy! The internet friends of the Manolo at the Shoe Stor, who provided the Clear Shoe Boxes for the contest of the Manolo, they are having their own contest, one in which they are giving away the pair of shoes from the Maestro Manolo Blahnik!
Manolo says, today there is the very short and the very cryptic mention of the Manolo in the Guardian newspaper.
The best thing about Manolo’s Shoe Blog (Shoeblogs.com) is how the author constantly refers to himself as “the Manolo”.
The Manolo he would argue that there are other things about the Manolo’s humble shoe blog that are better than this, but, nonetheless, he will take these words as the compliment.
Manolo say, except she is far too smart and sassy for the likes of him.
Manolo says, the Manolo he cannot but welcome the return of Victorian swimwear.
In celebration, the Manolo he already placed decorous coverings on the overly suggestive “limbs” of his piano. Tomorrow he will begin the laborious process of separating the books written by unmarried female writers from those of the male authors on his book shelves.
Viva Prudish Wholesomeness!
P.S. Many thanks for the link to the always amusing, and certainly not prudish Fashion Addict.
Manolo says, this brown pump, with the look of the retro, it reminds Manolo of the spirited, tough-talking, gold-hearted “dames” of the early comedies of the Howard Hawks.
Perhaps the young Rosalind Russell she could wear the shoe like this with the tailored suit, and the small whimsical hat cocked to one side on the carefully coifed head, the sort of accessories that undermine the aggressive air of the “Do Not Toy With Me” woman.
Manolo says, when the Manolo announced the winners of his contest on the Sunday last, the high quality of the entries made choosing the three winners and seven runners up most difficult indeed, and so although it was the happy occasion, it was with some sorrow that the Manolo was forced to select only ten.
One of the entries that nearly made it into the top ten, but did not, was the set of the haikus sent in by Katherine Delhotal of the Arlington, Virginia, which were based on the super fantastic shoes of the Magnolia, one of the gracious sponsors of the Manolo’s Super Fantastic Essay Contest.
So the Manolo he sent the little poems to the kind peoples at the Magnolias, hoping that they would volunteer to provide the Katherine with the prize suitable to her efforts.
And they did! The Magnolia peoples they have decided to present to the Katherine the pair of the shoes for her lovely efforts, which the Manolo now here presents along with the pictures of the shoes described in the haikus.

Corduroy for the streets
Uptown in pink cool
Downtown in blue funky

Silently stalking
Amid Birkenstocks, flip-flops
Avalon
Classic gross grain bow
Vibrant blooms catch the eye
Dancing, dreaming ballet
Manolo says, here is the latest column the Manolo he wrote for the Express of the Washington Post.
Dear Manolo,I love the expensive shoes you recommend, but I’m a poor working girl.
Love,
Kimberly
Manolo says, this it is the common dilemma. On the one of the hands it is the inalienable right of everyone to have the most super fantastic shoes, yet on the other of the hands, it is difficult to save enough of the moneys on what the “Man” he pays you.
But, do not worry, 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 candy wrappers and used bubble gum you have found on the street after the Halloween parade it has passed.
And so the Manolo, he would recommend to you you the Polaris from the Joan and David. It is the simple, classic pump, one that is on the sale at the Zappos for less than $100 of the American dollars, over 50% off!
Manolo says, the Manolo he loves how the toe cleavage it produces the appearance of three sagging breasts!
Manolo says, today’s column of the Manolo from the Express of the Washington Post it is now available for the download as the pdf. The topic, it is the shoes for the poor girls.
Of the course, the Manolo he will post the column here at his blog later this day.
