Manolo says, Julie & Julia? Ha! The Manolo gives you Mr. Henry and Julia!
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, Knowing that you appreciate the super fantastic shoe classic of any type, I wonder if you say something about the revival of the Converse Chuck Taylor type sneaker. My 13 year old daughter has a pair of tall Chuck Taylor she loves. Phyllis Manolo says, the Manolo loves the Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers! They are one of the greatest shoes ever invented, indeed, not just the great shoe, but also, together with the white tee-shirt and the Levi’s 501 jeans, one of the…
Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Phantom of the Super Hunky Opera, Gerard Butler. Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend
Manolo says, since Manolo’s yesterday choice of practical end-of-the-summer sale shoe was given the less than enthusiastic greeting, the Manolo will try again. Behold! Here is the Equus from Matt Bernson, the lovely sandal that is on the deep discount sale at Piperlime, 35% off of the regular price!
Manolo says, it is Monday and you are back at your desk, wondering where the Summer went. Yes, it is still roasting hot outside, but this morning, your youngest child reminded you that school was starting in the mere days. Yes, she may have reminded you of this in the context of her lamenting having not read the single book on her summer reading list, but still, the threat was implicit, your halcyon days of fun-in-the-sun-09 are at the end. It is sad. You spend all winter waiting for the summer to arrive, and then it is gone in the…
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, What is your take on the over-the-knee boot that featured prominently in the Fall 2009 Ready-To-Wear collections? I particularly love the ones I saw from Louis Vuitton, but clearly do not have the bills required for such luxury spending. In your opinion, is this a look worth investing in, or do you think it will disappear in a couple seasons, leaving me with a large hole in my wallet and a pair of boots I cannot take out into public? Lulu Manolo says,…
Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Jaime Pressly! And, for only the second time in recorded Manolo history, none of the Manolo’s internet friends identified this week’s personage of note.
Manolo says, since the government is giving away the free money to the car buyers, perhaps it is time for the shoe industry to lobby for their own subsidy. Thus the Manolo proposes the Cash for Clogs program. Turn in your old Croc for destruction and receive the $10 gift certificate for the purchase of the new pair of beautiful shoes. To state in graphic terms…turn in this monstrosity… Get this… Off of the price of something like this… The Tiara by Charles David. The prefect sort of summery replacement for the odious Croc. Of the course, the government will…
Manolo says, the Manolo continues to update his blogroll. If you are the internet friend of the Manolo and you already link to the Manolo’s humble shoe blog please let him know and he will gladly add you to his blogroll (assuming your site is the real blog and not the e-commerce or spam site).
Manolo says, here is the briefest taste of what you are missing if you are not following the 140-character musings of the Manolo on Twitter. The movie “The Perfect Getaway” looks like Deliverance with hot chicks, no Burt Reynolds, and no squealing like the pig. ***** Topol is still performing the lead in Fiddler on the Roof? How is that even possible? http://www.fiddlerontour.com/ ***** Sally Field + The Unsinkable Molly Brown – Sanity & Decorum = Mary Murphy ***** Boulevardiers vs. Flaneurs = Shakers vs. Quakers. Non-violent sects occupying the same continuum of faith. ***** RT @EdDriscoll If social class,…
