Manolo’s Shoe Blog

Manolo says, Look! the Hasselhoff he is comfortable in his celebrity!

Many thanks to the Manolo’s internet friend the Sarah!

Manolo asks, whose shoes?

Manolo says, yes, it is the Tuesday night, but the Manolo felt the need for something pointy and elegant, like this beautiful shoe from the Daniel Barbara.

Manolo says, sometimes the Manolo comes across the pictures of the celebrity event which astound. Such is the case with the photos from the premiere of the new Quentino Tarentino and Robert Rodriguez juvenile movie, Grindhouse.

Mira! Eva Mendes dropped by while on the way to pick up her groceries!

The Manolo has no idea who this person is, nor does he have any desire to make her aquaintance.

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

Reading…

Watching…

Listening to…

The Manolo was wondering when someone would realize that the Jack Black had the potential to play the romantic lead.

He is, in his short chubby way, the handsome and manly little dude. If you do not believe the Manolo, simply look at the cover of the March issue of the Vanity Fair in which he looks like the 1930’s movie idol. The Holiday does not quite achieve what the Manolo has in mind, but at least it is trying.

Speaking of the Jack Black, someday remind the Manolo to explain to you why the Nacho Libre is the most sincerely religious movie made in last the 20 years.

As for the Amy Winehouse, ayyyyy! This is the magnificent voice and talent! But sadly, girlfriend has the problem.

Manolo says, if you ever wish to see shoes the Manolo truly despises, these are such shoes.

Manolo says here are the few links which may perhaps amuse (or appall)…

It’s the perfect way to add excitement to you party or event.

There is nothing wrong with being free with your virtue if it gets you fabulous shoes.

I tend to go barefoot as often as possible. My feet are rough and dry and permanently calloused because of it, but I’m simply happiest this way.

Manolo says, the New York Times has announced the “first” shoe trend of the new spring!

The snow hadn’t disappeared from the streets of New York and already the first trend of spring could be seen up and down Madison Avenue: the revival of flat ballet-style shoes. In the 1950s, they were a popular alternative to spindly high heels; designers of calf-length full skirts showed their fashions with ballet slippers made by Capezio. At the time, such shoes were not commercially available. But today many manufacturers produce variations of the ballet flat.

The “first trend”? Hardly. The ballet flat has been stylish for at the least the past three seasons.

None the less, here are the few pairs the Manolo finds most attractive.

These flats from the Delman have the most wonderful springy colors.

These are from the French Sole and have the unusual quality of being both elegant and cute. Who knew such the thing was even possible?

Here is another of the shoes of the French Sole, this time in the patent leather, which is also the trend of the season.

Manolo says, the Manolo has finally joined the MySpace. Hurry, make him your friend before he regrets this decision.
