Manolo says, here you see the craft project that has gone horribly, terribly awry: the plastic grocery bags crocheted into the pair of the sandals.

Yes, it is not the secret that the Manolo has many times in the past been so poor that he has had to fashion his own super fantastic shoes out of the recycled and repurposed objects. And so he could perhaps be considered the expert in such matters, which it is why he is qualified to say that these shoes they are frightening.

These they are the sort of thing that would be worn the ranting homeless lady who lives in the culvert behind the Ralph’s Super Saver. You know, the one who wears the dirty grey poncho and shouts at you as you leave your car, “Whore of Babylon! You’ll burn in the sulphurous pits of Hell!”

That one.

This is the sort of person who would put such things upon her feets.

Do not be this person, do not wear such things upon your feets.

P.S. Many thanks to the Pamela for alerting the Manolo to this horror.
