When Cautionary Tales Converge

Manolo says, there has not been this much of the singing and acting talent in one place since Frankie Avalon dined alone!

    That seems like such an insult to Frankie Avalon!

    Hola Manolo!!

    Imagino por tu nombre que hablarás español, si no és así no sirven muchos mis frases (mi ingles es un poquito malo), pero aún así me decido a escribirte. He estado leyendo tus comentarios y veo que te gustan mucho los zapatos, yo soy de Elda (Alicante- España) es una de las ciudades mas importantes de la fabricación del calzado fino de señora, de donde salen muchas grandes marcas del mundo.
    Yo tengo 24 años, llevo trabajando en el calzado como diseñadora desde los 16 años (me viene de familia) y ahora tengo mi propia marca “María Arellano” , el año pasado fuí elegida como mejor diseñadora de calzado de España, y a raiz de eso, trabajo para La Redoute, H&M con quien he colaborado esta temporada con Viktor & Rolf…te cuento todo esto porque mi pasión al igual que la tuya son los zapatos, son grandes informadores, ellos te dicen la clase social de la persona, su personalidad, su estado de ánimo, su entorno, deciden que toque darle al vestido negro que tienes de siempre en el armario, o cómo quieres contonear ese día las caderas, o simplemente quieres pasar desapercibida….los grandes secretos de los zapatos!! y bueno, sólo queria darte las gracias por darle tanta importancia a los grandes que nos mueven por el mundo!

    Besos.
    María

    My screen almost ended up wearing Black Raspberry Chip Ice Cream when I read the fabulous words of The Manolo!

    Well, said. Well, said.

    Why does Mr. Cruise wear his hair like a 13 year old girl hiding a big zit on her forehead? What’s he hiding? Receding hairline? Botox scars? Or is he simply hanging on with a death-like grip to the “boyish good looks” label that has taken his career this far? Please. Say good-bye to the “David Cassidy” hair-do, Tom.

    Why does the J-Lo look like the Mari-Lu? Hmmmm. . . J-Lu.

    Hahahahahahahaha, Manolo, you never cease to amaze me. Excellent play on an excellent JFK quote. Bravo!

    Right on, kate! Frankie’s small, but he’s wiry!

    Frankie got it on with Annette.
    ‘Nuff said.

    The Apocolypse comes. I just found myself thinking that Marc Anthony is now more attractive than Tom cruise. The end is nigh.

    To Talmida – maybe it’s a WEAVE…..

    It does look a little swirly….

    And Marc is clearly thinking that there are more interesting, sane people on the other side of the room, and is trying to plot his escape.

    And to think after YEARS of not really thinking about Frankie (although I love the Beach Party movies) today on HSN or QVC or one of those shopping channels, they were hawking “Frankie Avalon’s Pain Relief Cream.” Which “if you don’t get relief right away, Frainkie doesn’t want you to keep it!” I about lost it at 5:30 this morning!
