Manolo’s Shoe Blog

Manolo says, these shoes from the Christian Lacroix, they fully express the joyful, over-the-top luxurious exuberance of the season!

Manolo say, ayyyyyy! The Cate Blanchett, she is using the Pink’s stylist.

Manolo says, it is the Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is…

Readling…

Listening to…

Watching (again)…

Listening to…

If you are having the trouble finding the last minute gift for that manly-man, the Manolo highly recommeds The Places In Between as being the sort of ripping yarn that the menfolk appreciate. Indeed, the Manolo, himself, has found it to be the exceptionally good read.

Manolo says, ayyyyyyyyy! One of the Manolo’s favorite bloggers, the Cindy Bokma, has published the new book!

Cindy Bokma, also known as celebrity blogger “distresssedjeans” has released her first novel, a Hollywood satire called A Thousand Dollars For A Kiss. Cindy gained popularity for her award nominated gossip site, Conversations About Famous People where over six million viewers from around the world read the hilarious entertainment reports. She became known for her cutting edge wit and social commentaries on celebrities in the news. Phil Magitti from the satire site, Pug Bus called her a “female Oscar Wilde.”

Cindy is also well known for her author interview blog, Conversations with Famous Writers where she conducts fun, offbeat interviews with best-selling authors such as Lauren Weisberger, Jeannette Walls, Jennifer Weiner, Janet Evanovich, Simon Doonan, Jessica Cutler, Stephanie Klein and many more. Jane Heller joked that Cindy was the “Oprah of the internet!” with all her work inspiring people to read good books and learn more about authors.

A Thousand Dollars for a Kiss takes a look at what happens when a normal person gets swept up in the life of a Hollywood starlet named Kat Savage- rumored to be modeled after none other than Britney Spears.

The Converstaions about the Famous Peoples was one of the Manolo’s all time favorite celebrity blogs, simply because the Cindy has the most marvelous, intelligent, and biting wit, one which is neither peruile, nor panders to the base crowd. And so the Manolo has the highest expectations that the Cindy’s new book will be most amusing indeed.

Manolo says, here are the few links that may amuse…

The professor and the spikey shoe.

The Maestro and the Madame.

The everyday photographer and the Magnificent One.
(Via the Manolo’s dear internet friend the Kim, who has the new blog.)

Manolo says, word to the mother.

P.S. Jim Carey!

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.

Dear Manolo,

My husband has informed me that we will be going to his company’s holiday party this year, and that I should “dress up”. I’m thinking a new pair of shoes will ease my psychic pain. Please help.

Manolo says, it is time again for the annual corporate holiday party, when we all gather in the office park near the airport, at the Marriott Towne Centre Suburban Chain Hotel Function Room.

Look! They have decorated!

There is the magnificent Christmas tree that the ladies from marketing have decked with the leftover corporate logo key chains. See how they sparkle in the light cast from the menorah Morty in accounting has brought from home.

Ayyyyy! They have even included the festive wiccan pentacle out of consideration for the stout girl who wears the black nail polish, what is her name?

No, no. The new name.

That is it! Astreal Ravenscroft!

Truly the spirit of the solstice season is upon us!

Of the course, you would be wise to dress up in your holiday finest, as one of the traditions will be when your spouse forces you to meet the boss’s boss, the exalted semi-divine personage who’s very gaze, legend has it, can scald interns to death.

When the moment of meeting arrives, these black suede shoes with the gold trim from the DKNY, they will make you appear statuesque and stylish, the perfect companion for the rising corporate star.

Manolo says, here are the beautiful pair of the crushed red velvet heels from the Martinez Valero that are not only festive, but also reasonably priced.

Manolo says, what to get the person who has everything?

Perhaps the drink coasters that remind you of just how special you truly are.

Or maybe the hoodie with the Manolo’s favorite interjection.

There are many more such items available for the holiday shopping at the Manolo’s Shoe Blog Shoppe.
