Manolo’s Friday Miscellany

Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… I accept the size and shape people are and I believe it’s important to drive that shape and make it fabulous. Deal with the here and now. Don’t buy clothes thinking, ‘I’m going to lose 20 pounds.’ When the world becomes a place where a kid can’t parade around in silly glasses, then that’s a world I don’t want to live in anymore. It seems real life wedding crashers are motivated by money.

Cause I Drinks a Bit

Manolo says, “Knew a man, Bojangles And he danced for you In worn-out shoes With silver hair, a ragged shirt And baggy pants, the old soft shoe”

Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I will be starting my new job as a children’s librarian next month, and my question is, how do you remain super fantastic while dealing with grubby little hands, gluesticks, crayons, and puppet shows? Annabelle Manolo says, back in the day, the stereotype of the librarian was of the humorless crone with the hair-trigger “Shsssssss”. After that, it was the secretly hot librarian lady, the one who (from the lofty perch of her library ladder) removed her cat-eye glasses and let her auburn…

Donna Karan Strappy Sandals for the Thursday

Manolo says, here for your long holiday weekend, is the beautiful pair of the strappy sandals from the Donna Karan. Supposedly this color is known as “Smog Oxide”. Do not ask the Manolo. He does not write the official descriptions, he merely reports them. Still, this is the very pretty shoe, and one which is also worth the wearing in the more comprehensible color of “Copper Oxide”.

Readings from the Book of Hasselhoff

Manolo says, occasional readings from Don’t Hassel the Hoff. Today, page 114. Late that afternoon it was still raining as 15,000 people in Barbours and wellington boots gathered in the deer park to watch the concert. At the last minute, the rain stopped and bright sunshine streamed down. I went on stage and said, “Earlier today I prayed to Diana, “Could you do this one last thing and part the skies?” And she did. It was the most amazing thing she did today. Thank you, Diana — this one’s for you.’ The Word of the Hoff!

Manolo’s Wednesday Miscellany

Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… Even though I am slightly traumatized by this picture, I want George to know that I totally blame his parents. As mentioned before cap toe shoes are a going to be a big hit this fall. But, plaid cap toe shoes are going to be even bigger. If you really want to get in touch with your soul, look at your soles.

Manolo’s Monday Miscellany

Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… Every marriage fifty years ago, we are led to believe, was nothing but a loveless travesty, maintained for public perception only, secretly crushing the will to live of both partners. In short, it’s all great fun… Germaine Greer Wants YOUR Teddy! Fankly, I think these shoes might attract the wrong type of attention and cause more harm than good but then again, I’m not in the industry so what do I know.
