Manolo says, it is Tuesday in Buenos Aires, time to see what the Manolo is… Reading… Listening to… Watching… The Manolo has been in Buenos Aires for the little bit less than one week, and already he is in love with this place. It is spring here, and the trees on the street outside of the Manolo’s apartment are putting out the leaves. It is perfectly pleasant.

Manolo says, it is Monday and you are back in the office, where the tension is thicker than the sopa de chicharo and twice as salty. This destructive uncertainty and madness was not what you expected when you went into the investment banking so many years ago. Indeed, the recruiter at your college assured you that it would be just like sitting under the money tree and waiting for the shower of golden fruits. But now, ayyyyyy! People are running around like the chickens with the heads taken off, smelling strongly of panic and fallen portfolios. And you, yourself, you…
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, One of my best friends is getting married for the second time in October, in what she says will be a “simple wedding†of “only 100 guestsâ€. Of course, I’m to be one of the bridesmaids, and the dress—knee-length in a subdued pumpkin shade—is especially unflattering. The good news is that we can buy our own shoes? Please help.

Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is… Reading… Listening to… Watching… The Manolo had not seen the Annie Hall movie in many years, and after viewing it two nights ago, is happy to report that it has held up remarkably well, indeed, most of the jokes still seemed fresh, and the topic, love found and then lost, is as timely and as bittersweet as it has ever been. It is truly the lovely, funny movie. This is not to say that everything in the movie has survived, or that the film is as completely trenchant…
Manolo says, this week, the Spirit Fingers has challenged us to identify the lady fashion designers. (The Manolo is confident that he has scored the 80% on this test.)
Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolo-sphere. Francesca… Seriously. These scientists and reporters could have learned the same thing by talking to any of us women who have tried dieting for years and years. We could have told them what it feels like to feel hungry, to feel full, to feel satisfied, to feel healthy, to feel too pressed for time to cook at home, to feel too full of juicy peaches to eat that cake, to feel – to know – that diets don’t keep the weight off. Mr. Henry… As a general rule…
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’ve been hired by the development department of my alma mater to be a fundraiser in the upper Midwest. I’ll be traveling a lot this fall, and I need to look sharp, so I’m looking for a pair of boots that will see me through from the airport to the boardroom, and back again. What would you recommend?
