Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’m a commuter who must run from the train to my office. So, I need a shoe with a high vamp that will stay on my foot, a cushiony sole, and a high enough heel so that my pant hems won’t drag on the ground. Is there any other non-frumpy option than wearing sneakers and carrying heels in a tote bag. Paulina Manolo says, yes, it is called “taking the earlier train.” Actually, the Manolo has much sympathy for the poor peoples who…

Summery Topaz Slide from Charles David

Manolo says, the Manolo loves this pretty contrast of camel leather and topaz (faux-paz?) gemstones. This is the shoe you would keep in the bottom drawer of your desk to change into after work for drinks and dinner. Et voila! From office girl to glam in two seconds!

Jimmy Choo Snakeskin Monday

Manolo says, it is again Monday and you are back in the office day-dreaming of the weekend just passed, when you and Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Hunkalicious spent your Saturday evening dining and dancing and canoodling in the twilight. For the coming weekend, this perfect man of broad shoulders, small waist, and good hair has promised you more dinners and discos. Of the course, you wish you had the perfect sexy shoes with which to compliment that new Balmain mini-dress…something sexy and chic…something snakey and sleek. Something…Jimmy Choo!

Words of Wisdom

Manolo says, the Manolo’s friend Twistie has wise words of wisdom for those who are obsessed with battling the bulge. I know once I stopped worrying about dieting, I thought more about taking care of the people around me. I thought more about making art, music, and laughter in my home. Everybody relaxed more. Until that happened, I hadn’t realized how much time I was wasting on thinking about not eating food, or what it was doing to my personality.

Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’ve been invited to an outdoor wedding in New Mexico later this summer, one that will be held in an “untrimmed meadow”. So I need a closed-toe shoe that can resist cacti and which can be worn with either dressy pants or a knee-length skirt. Also, I’m short, so I need a bit of a heel, and I dislike wedges. Please help! Mary Manolo says, when the Manolo thinks of meadow-based weddings he thinks of wildflowers, songbirds, and bubbling brooks, not cacti, coyotes,…
