Manolo says, finally, shoes for the Keira Knightly!

P.S. Also from the Boing Boing, lockable metal stilletos.

P.P.S. Many thanks to the Selena for alerting the Manolo to these!

Manolo says, query: who would tape the shoes to the feet?

Answer: Crazy Russian ladies.

Manolo says, after the week of travelling it is time for the Manolo to once again reveal what the Manolo is…

Rewatching…

Rewatching…

Listening to…

The Manolo is preparing for the much anticipated recommencement of the Project Runway.

Manolo says, these attractive shoes from the Isaac Mizrahi, which come in the wide variety of the colors and the materials, they are on the sale! Nearly 60% off of the regular price, the savings of over $140 of the American dollars.

Manolo shouts, Galliano!!!!!

P.S. Of the course, in the absense of the Manolo, the Izzy had already made the hilarious comment.

Manolo says, Ayyyyyyyy, Ayyyyyyy, Ayyyyy!

All of the this travelling this week and the last has resulted in the Manolo neglecting to properly organize and publicize the Carnivale of the Couture!

Ayyyyyy!

Please forgive the Manolo this lapse.

And now the Manolo must rectify his mistakes. And he belives that the best way to do this it is to push back the Carnivale for the single week. So that this next week, that of the July the 10th, it shall be the carnivale at the Shoe Sense blog, and in the following week, that of the July 17th, it shall be at the Fashion Incubator blog.

Again, many apologies to both of these wonderful bloggers for the mistakes of the Manolo

And so, here is the link to the topic from the Scarpediem at the Shoe Sense blog, , which shall be the topic for the Carnivale in this coming week.

Here is the topic, itself.

What is the proper attire for 4th of July?

In other words, can you be festive without being tacky? What does a fashionable woman or man wear while overloading on hot dogs and fireworks?

The answer of the Manolo it is yes, of the course it is possible to dress in the festive manner without being considered tacky.

For the example, for this Fourth of the July, when the Manolo celebrated those things that make one proud to be the American, even if it is by the adoption rather than the birth, the Manolo appeared at the party in the casual blue suit with the white shirt and the red tie with small white stars.

Festive and emphatically not tacky, no?

Manolo says, the Manolo’s latest column it is now available at the website of the Express of the Washington Post

Already the controversy about this column is has begun!

Dear Manolo,

I’m a physician, one who like most doctors spends many hours standing, can you suggest something comfortable and stylish?

Many thanks,

Lucia

Manolo asks, when did the doctors first begin to dress like the mental patients?

Is it now mandatory that every physician now appear everywhere—the surgery, the hospital, the bank, the country club—wearing the green pajamas and the ridiculous plastic “comfort” clogs?

Yes, the Manolo knows that they are called the “scrubs”, but are they not the same institutional pajamas worn by the troubled residents of many psychiatric hospitals?

Worse, it is not just the surgeons who are wearing the scrubs. All of the doctors are now doing it. Even the Manolo’s own celebrity podiatrist—the man whose most tricky operation involves the rasp and the recalcitrant bunion—even he has begun to affect this disconcerting style.

Perhaps this happened at that moment when the nurses began to dress like the circus clowns, in the ridiculous and gaudy polyester prints that have mostly replaced the starched white uniforms of the past.

Happily, there are the few, like the Manolo’s friend Lucia, who know that if one is a professional, one must dress the part. This it is why the Manolo would suggest the Nanico from the Bruno Magli, the handsome and professional shoe that will inspire the confidence in your abilities as the professional.

Manolo says, many apologies for the rather slowish pace of the postings. This week and the next the Manolo is travelling–San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and elsewhere–and as the consequence he has not been able to communicate with his internet friends as frequently as he would like.

Worry not, dearest of the hearts, the Manolo will stop by the blog when he can, and in any of the events everything it will soon return to normal.

In the meantime, do not forget that you are indeed most super fantastic!

Manolo says, from the Manolo to his many, many internet friends, Happy Fourth of the July!!

Manolo says, here is the long article about how popular the Croc have become, for as we all know if something it is very popular it must be very good.

“There’s no doubt that they are very, very hot right now,” said Michael Wood, vice president of the marketing firm Teenage Research Unlimited. “The key to it is they’re comfortable, they’re practical and they’re fun … and they’re also affordable so you can buy into the trend without making a big investment.”

Jen Mosher of Tuscaloosa, Ala., said she got her first pair of Crocs for Christmas in 2002.

“I stuck them on to wear for slippers and haven’t taken them off since,” said Mosher, 39, a University of Alabama microbiology graduate student who’s often on her feet in a lab.

She now has the original Crocs in nine colors dark blue, royal blue, yellow, orange, red, purple, green, black and the tan ones she wears as dress shoes.

She cleans them by throwing them in the dishwasher.

Remind the Manolo not to have the dinner at this person’s house.

It has now become clear, that despite the best efforts of the Manolo once again, the nation it is sinking into the slough of bad shoes, and just when the curse of the Uggs had abated.

The Manolo must reiterate this point, that the Crocs they are suitable only if you are less than 10 years of the age, the point at which the vividly colorful plastic things are cute.

If you are taller than these girls, the Crocs they should be avoided.

Manolo says, Ayyyyyyyyy!

Former “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff had surgery after severing a tendon in his right arm in an accident in a London gym bathroom, his spokeswoman said Friday.

The 53-year-old actor, who played lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on the TV beach drama for 11 years, was shaving at a gym in the Sanderson Hotel on Thursday when he hit his head on a chandelier, showering his arm with broken glass, his publicist, Judy Katz, said.

Doctors operated to repair the injury and Hasselhoff spent one night at St. Thomas’ Hospital in central London, Katz said.

“He’s fine,” Katz said by phone from New York. “He’s out of the hospital and will resume filming tomorrow.”

The Manolo he has two reactions to this news. First, Thank the Lord that the mighty Hasselhoff was not serious injured.

And second, What athleticism, to be able to bounce his head off the chandelier while shaving!
