Happy Birthday!!!
Manolo shouts,
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday to the Manolo’s Shoe Blog!!!!
Two years ago exactly today, the Manolo invented the shoe blog.
It was from the beginning, the intention of the Manolo to share with the world his love of the shoes, and the fashion, and the fun. And he has succeeded in this beyond his imagination, as he now has many thousands of internet friends who each day visit the shoe blog of the Manolo.
But it is not only the shoe blog of which the Manolo is proud. Indeed the Manolo is also filled with pride for his small network of blogs, and especially for the quality of the other writers who blog for him.
It is beyond argument that there are few bloggers anywhere who are as consistently funny, or write as well as Never teh Bride at the Manolo for the Brides, Izzy Gallant at the Manolo for the Men, or Mr. Henry at the Manolo’s Food Blog. If you are not reading these blogs you are missing some of the strongest writing on the internets.
What now lies ahead for the Manolo and his blogs?
There are things yet coming, dear friends, that will astound and amuse you.
Soon there will certainly be talk of the autobiography of the Manolo, Super Fantastic, the first chapters of which, after much delay, are now almost ready to be presented to the publishers.
Also, as you have perhaps noticed, the Manolo has already been writing his weekly column for the Express of the Washington Post, and the occasional pieces for the Politics Central, but it is likely that in the next month or two there will be other places where you may read the musings of the Manolo.
Of the course, the Manolo will always and forever be here at his first love, his humble shoe blog, showing his friends the pictures of the beautiful shoes, gently mocking the celebrities, and offering his advice to those in need.
Finally, and most importantly, the Manolo must thank you, his internet friends, for your attention, for your generosity, and above all for the love you have shown the Manolo. He is truly grateful for all that you have done for him.
Yes, Manolo loves the shoes, but it is doubly true that Manolo loves the readers!

Happy Birthday to the Manolo blog. Just the action of loading the page, waiting to see what shoes will appear in my upper, right-handed corner fills me with feminine joy.
I cannot afford these beautiful shoes but I love to see them. And I love to read the Manolo’s most excellent fashion advice and the wit is so sharp, I love it all. I even introduced my baby sister, the Yahmster, to the Manolo and we both enjoy it so.
When I read the Manolo, I cannot help but burst into song. The “I feel pretty” song, or the “I enjoy being a girl” song.
Many, many more to the Manolo!

Thank you for the humor and advocating a return to civility, grace, respect and gratitude. Most of all, thank you for alerting me to the Zappos, providing pain relief to men like me with very wide feets.

kim 18 years ago
The Manolo, for the Kim you ARE the internets for her. The Kim she loves the humble shoeblogger’s blog. She loves his high/low humor, his well-read-ness and his open arm policy. His goofy attachment to the Hoff makes him human, although he does not show his face and the Kim she says a big Happy Birthday and many, many more. xoxo

Red Hamster 18 years ago
Happy Birthday and many more happy blogging days! The internets love you to the depth and breadth and height of your style, wisdom, wit, grace, humbleness…we could go on and on. Might your new book have a picture of you on the jacket – so that we could all swoon at the first sight of our beloved Manolo?
