Manolo the Columnist
Manolo says, here is the latest of the Manolo’s columns for the Express of the Washington Post.
Dear Manolo,
I am a happily married mother of three, and I’m finding that as my 35th birthday approaches, I am craving some really nice red shoes. OK, “nice” isn’t the word. More like “hot”! Can you recommend some red heels, not over 3 ½ inches that are super fantastic but not too “young”?
Cahdi
Manolo says, ayyyyyy! What better way to celebrate the birthday than with the new pair of the shoes!
Of the course, as the Manolo’s friend Cahdi has indicated, the “hot” shoes desired by the soon-to-be 35-year-old woman are not usually the same as the “hot” shoes desired by the 18-year-old woman.
One would worry about the 35-year-old mother of the three who would wear the shiny plastic red shoes with the five inch heels more suitable for the dancer of the pole.
Yes, most ordinary men, who are bedazzled by the shiny bright objects, are not so subtle as to notice the difference. But as we know, the truly “hot” shoes not only attract the admiring gaze but also please the wearer, giving to her the confidence and feeling of sexiness that most worthy men find fully alluring.
Thus the Manolo would recommend to his friend this shoe, the Catchy by the Charles David as being hot. It has the ankle strap, and the ankles straps they are always sexy.

I would wear those shoes at 64 if I ever get my ankle out of the cast again.

The Manolo he is a GOD. He has seen into my soul and found the shoes I was born to wear.
Many thanks to The Manolo.

These are, indeed, the superfantastic shoes for the lady who is past the first blush of youth, and yet not quite “of a certain age.” Beautiful!
