Whose Shoes Wednesday…The Answer!

Manolo asks, whose shoes?

Manolo answers, the Queen Mother Elizabeth!

Congratulations to the Manolo’s long time interent friend the Phyllis, who came up with the correct answer the mere eleven minutes after the Manolo asked the question. Indeed, the Manolo was mightily impressed by all of his friends who said the Queen Mum, as he thought this question was quite difficult.

By the way, the amusing and endearing picture on the left is from 1949, during one of the three periods in the 20th century when the platform shoes were stylish. The other two occured in the 1930s and in the 1970s. Of the course, we are now at the end of the first revival of the platforms in the 21st century.

Her First Pair of the Blahniks

Manolo says, here is the heartwarming and amusing story of the young woman’s first pair of the Manolo Blahniks.Carolyne's by Manolo Blahnik   Manolo Likes!  Click!

When he got back, he took off my Isaac Mizrahi for Target shoe (Hey! It’s bargain basement, but still designed by Isaac Mizrahi, so I wasn’t embarrassed. Much.) and slipped the Manolo on my foot. I felt like motherfrickin’ Cinderella up in that piece!!!! That shoe felt like butter. It conformed to my foot, y’all. Oh. my. God. I actually closed my eyes and had a shoegasm. It was a religious experience. Sarai started talking and Vic actually shushed her because he could see that I was having a moment.

This made the Manolo the Shoeblogger laugh out loud.

P.S. From the Manolo’s internet friend Meimei
