Manolo says, if you are in the Manhattan, and if you have the opportunity you must do as the Manolo has done and stroll down the 7th Avenue to the showing of the magnificent couture of the mid-century French designer the Lucien Lelong at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. This museum show of the historical couture of beauty and refinement, it is the show which will both entertain and edify those who have the interest in such things.
Manolo says, it is late on the Tuesday, but here is what the Manolo is… Reading… Listening to… Reading… Long has the Manolo been the student of the history of the oyster in America, and especially of the “sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells” at the end of the 19th century, the idea of which to the Manolo seemed so wonderfully democratic. And so naturally it was with the great eagerness that the Manolo picked up the new book by the Mark Kurlansky. Of the course, what could be more enjoyable than pairing this book with the delights of the M.F.K. Fisher?
Manolo says, the spring it is icoming! Sing cuccu nu, sing cuccu!
