Still the Same on the Inside?

Manolo says, ayyyyyyy! The Manolo was wrong, you can polish the turd.

And here the Manolo must once again note that the proper grooming and the attractive clothes can radically, completely, and totally change the manner in which we are perceived.

In these clothes he is apparently the man worthy of our respect, someone who would appear to have left the old reputation for fecklessness behind.

Amazing, no?

    Ye gods…I didn’t recognize him! He pulls of the wide ties with quite a flair.




  2. Dora Long Says:

    Most astonishing! Perhaps they can do the same for the Missus??

    Perhaps he can now be motivated to be a respectable person in the inside as well-




  3. johnnycake Says:

    He’d do a lot better to prove himself on the inside than merely cleaning up the outward.




  4. megaera Says:

    I’m not sure, there still appears to be something of the….oily untrustworthiness about him…politiician with a whiff of used car salesman…ooh no wait…ambulance chaser!




  5. oliviacw Says:

    is anyone else amused by the fact that the gray jacket appears to be rather too large for him? Still not grown up yet, I see!

    Holy shiznit. I would never have recognized the man.




  8. Anonymous Says:

    megaera-that’s exactly what I was thinking *points to above entry*

    I’m really wondering if his makeover isn’t too little too late.

    However, if he really want to be supportive and helpful to his wife, he’ll schedule her and appointment with his stylist ASAP!




  9. JayKay Says:

    Great googly moogly! I never would have guessed who that was!
    Dressed like that, who’d've thunk that he tried (and failed) to make a rap album with such smashing lyrics like “Back then, they called me K-Fed, but you can call me Daddy instead”
    Nice one, Manolo! =D




  10. kim Says:

    Who styled him? A news achor from 1982? 1975? Completely bizarre. He looks like a school principle. If you polish a turd, then it disolves, right? This guy is not going away. Like herpes.




  11. desertwind Says:

    I swear!

    What the well-dressed young man wears to his next court appearance.




  12. Cat Says:

    I didn’t recognize him either. He looks so different without his scraggly facial hair and his ratty old manpris. When I saw the photo on the left, my first thought was, “Is that Noah Wyle’s kid brother?”

    (My sincere apologies to Noah Wyle.)




  13. Lady DunBraidh Says:

    The Lady DunBraidh can only hope that the clothes on the K-Fed were burned after they were removed. The overwhelming stench of the trailer park trashiness could not possibly be removed with even the industrial strength turd polish or the most strong smelling of the soaps. As for the unfortunate peoples who were forced to clean the K-Fed and groom his hair, well, the Lady DunBraidh can only pray they were well-compensated.




  14. Susanna Says:

    When I first saw that picture I didn’t actually recoil and get a shiver. I mean, he’s like kinda boyish, dimpled, sparkly-eyed.

    First glance, of course. Then it falls apart when scrutinized. Nice watch, gangster.

    I am a little scared, though. If I am not instantly repulsed by him, does that mean I’d let Ted Bundy buy me a drink, too?

    Four Wedding Blogs Reviewed

    Yesterday I received a nice surge in traffic from a site called BridalWave.tv and this got me thinking that really I have limited ideas regarding the best wedding blogs on the internet. Ever since October 2005 I have kept myself…

    “would appear to have left the old reputation for fecklessness behind.” - No, we believe he is still quite capable of the fecking.




  17. Christina Jones Says:

    *gag*




  18. Phyllis Says:

    Holy Smokes! She still needs to dump him though. Thank God he’s not my son-in-law.

    One word:
    SOAP




  20. jenny Says:

    It’s funny how looks can fool you…




  21. shiloh Says:

    a polished turd, but still and above all a turd.




  22. stilettogirl Says:

    OMFG! I didn’t recognize him at all. He looks so GQ. I am at a loss.




  23. fiveandfour Says:

    That is an utterly astonishing change - I never would have guess who that was. I actually thought, before finding out who it was, “He looks like a decent guy - how much of a turd can he really be?”

    Clearly, clothes do indeed make the man.




  24. Anne Says:

    I couldn’t figure out who that was. My first guess was Tucker Carlson (late of Crossfire where Jon Stewart ripped him a new one) without a ridiculous bowtie. The concept that that might be Britney’s greasier half never even occurred to me. We’ll see if it sticks.




  25. la petite chou chou Says:

    HOLY Freaking GOD. At first I thought the entire blog was an elaborate hoax created by one Manolo in an effort to make me think I was losing my mind. I could not figure out who the pictures were of, and yet everyone else seemed to know. To learn that it is Federline shocks me. I’d never have figured it out.

    If he were to stay the guy in the pics, I think he and Britney wouldn’t be a match any longer. But if he stays his shaggy, beardy, wife-beatery self then I think they are perfect for eachother. I mean, SHE is the one who walked around in a public bathroom with no shoes on…am I wrong?




  26. Khazarkhum Says:

    Ah, the Manolo, he has forgotten one muy importante thing:

    The Turd Still Smells.

    And somehow, the aroma comes off the picture, does it not???




  27. Gina Says:

    Took me a while to figure this out. The guy in the pictures somehow looked familiar. I wondered what Manolo’s entry was about. Perhaps I should click on “the turd” (link) to learn what Manolo is going on about. OH !!!

    I always thought K-Fed had a cute smile.




  28. Fausta Says:

    The K-fed, he borrowed the suit from the Liberace, did he not?




  29. AskMom Says:

    Beauty is as beauty does. God be merciful to this man’s offspring.




  30. LotionBarBunny Says:

    When I saw this photo shot on E (?) I was also amazed at his transformation…yet when he talked, he sounded like a complete idiot! You can dress them up, but you can’t change who they really are. ;)




  31. Rachel* Says:

    The jacket is too big!




  32. cheeky Says:

    His fingernails are still too long. So gross.




  33. Manolo's Shoe Blog: Shoes, Fashion, Celebrity, and Manolo! Says:

    […] Finally, as the example of how the change of clothes can completely alter how one regards the person, the Manolo gives you PopoZão. […]




  34. Wells Says:

    noooo…. I looked at the pic before I read who it was and thought “OOO..hot guy!”
    Now my evening has been ruined.
