Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… According to the authors, Cinderella’s slippers were NOT made of glass. THIS spring, nearly every top designer has a ” Cinderella” slipper, a shoe priced so high that it should come with a handsome prince — or an hour with a male escort, at least. This season, prepare to throw off the shackles of those boring proletarian overalls…
Manolo says, it is Monday and you are again back at your desk, working for the Man, so as to earn your meager crust of bread. Worse, it is only ten in the morning, and already you have endured the first disaster of the week, as your boss has informed you that you had forgotten to put the new coversheets on the previous week’s TPS reports, thus invoking the petty wrath of the various panjandrums and poobahs further up the chain of corporate misery. And so you boot up your computer and shout “Ayyyy! Manolo take me away!” And the…
Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. Plumcake… Frankly, if you are not at a beach, in a communal shower or getting your toes did, there is no reason to wear flip flops outside the house. None? NONE. Patri… Si todo lo que la prensa conservadora y cerrada pensara sobre Anna Wintour fuera cierto, ella serÃa la culpable de la anorexia que padecen millones de chicas en todo el mundo, un monstruo destructor de carreras, una retrograda racista y una tirana editorial. Spirit Finger… She may enjoy the occasional traipse down Rodeo Drive to pick…
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, As you know, better than anyone, the hottest trend for spring are wild and colorful shoes with crazy sculptural heels. While I would love to have some outrageous Miu Miu or Chloe shoes, I’m just a poor working girl. Can you recommend something outrageous that isn’t outrageously priced? Chrissy Manolo says, last fall, when Miuccia Prada introduced her crazy-colorful pumps with the flower-stem heel, anyone with half the eyeball could see that this was the next big trend. Soon, other shoe designers rushed…
Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… To my mind, wearing pink with impunity is one of the great perks of being a girl. No doubt some well-meaning editor thought they were doing her a favor, but was it really necessary to make her look thirty years younger? Damn Those Celebrity Moms!
Manolo says, notice in the lower right, the desperate maternal hands.
Manolo says, the Manolo’s friend Linda Grant has recently purchased these Dolce & Gabbana shoes (in black patent), which sadly, have not withstood the test of (short) time and London streets. I mentioned last week that I had bought a pair of Dolce & Gabbana shoes. I wore them for the first time on Thursday. When I got home the leather on the soles was pitted and worn away. I was going to take them back to Harvey Nichols for a refund but first went into my excellent local shoe repairers for an opinion. They told me that the shoes…
Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Gwyneth Paltrow! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend, Curly Q who was the first to arrive at the correct answer.
Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… I have decided to pen my last words and drip a few drops from ye olde font of knowledge before I shuffle loose this mortal coil before I even get to wear my new Tory Burch wedges. But when we talk about shoes, it is a serious job… Cute, comfortable, supportive shoes: Do they exist?
