Manolo says, the Manolo’s internet friend Darren sends these pictures of the presidential candidate Ron Paul, and asks the question, “What would the Manolo say?” The Manolo would say, “Ayyyyyyyy!” He would also hope that the Croc in Chief would be replaced by something better than the Wal-Mart trousers and the ratty Reeboks.
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, Starting in late July I’ll be spending two weeks of my vacation with some friends in a rented house in the Hamptons. During the day it’ll be beach casual, but at night we’ll be going out. What do you suggest? Marlise Manolo says, summer in the Hamptons! It is just like being in Manhattan, only without the nice people. It is the experience of the Manolo that during the weekdays the Hampton beaches are mercifully free of the preening young investment bankers and…
Manolo says, the Manolo empire is again about to enter the period of expansion, as the Manolo will soon unveil the new blog, one devoted to fashion, lifestyle, and humor for the super fantastic plus sized girl. In other words, the Manolo will soon introduce Manolo For the Big Girl! To this end the Manolo is now seeking two bloggers who have the unique and entertaining authorial voices, the obsession with clothing, fashion, and celebrity, and are possessed of the special knowledge of issues relating to the big girl. If you believe you are such the person, please send the…
Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… Don’t get me wrong, I like a nice bum as much as the next gal, but jeez… all that self-conscious decadence just exhausts me. There are only a few pairs of shoes I own that cannot be walked in for at least one mile on city streets. Summer is the social season for flightless birds.
Manolo says, this summer the Manolo has been especially enjoying the casual flat sandals from Moschino (see here and here) which combine the elements of whimsy and style in the delightful ways. Here is another of the charming sandals, this one with the pretty flowers.
Manolo says, Nurse Ratched Shoes. The Daily Mail renders it differently. Californians are better known for their laid back approach to fashion, but Posh Spice has given them anything but, even donning towering heels disguised as trainers when she took to the pitch for the Americans’ other favourite pasttime – baseball. Mrs Beckham tried out the sport as part of a reality television series which follows her first moves around Los Angeles. Just what the world needs, more Posh Spice and her glowering puss of mustard.

Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, The Dolly Parton! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend the Doralong, who got the answer straight away, literally one minute after the Manolo posted the question. Such knowledge of celebrity feetwear is to be both commended and admired.
Manolo says, “First he girded his goodly greaves about his legs, making them fast with ankle clasps of silver; and upon his belly he set the cumberbund which Byblos had designed for him as the fashion frippery.”
Manolo says, after seeing this the Manolo now wishes to put on his boogie shoes. P.S. Many thanks to the Manolo’s internet friends at the Shoe Blog who found this amusing video.
