Manolo says, the Manolo admits to having had the mostly blah reaction to the recent rise of the ankle-bootie-sandal trend. Perhaps this is because the Manolo had not yet seen these spectacular Jimmy Choo Embellished Ankle Wrap Sandals! Are they shoes? Are they booties? Are they sandals? Who cares! They are gorgeously super fantastic!
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, Prom is approaching, and I’m currently looking for a pair of shoes to fit my wide feet. I’m having the worst time trying to find wide shoes that are HOT. I don’t want to look like a frumpy old lady at my prom now do I? Please help! Christina Manolo says, ayyyy! How well the Manolo remembers his own prom, the event which in hindsight should best be forgotten. Sadly, the memory of the the Manolo standing alone outside the gymnasium, dressed in…
Manolo says, behold! Beautiful and unusual platform sandals from Burberry in the handsome dark nickel color, but that name? What does it mean? Tonal…Check…Perspex? It sounds less like something you would wear on your feets and more like the DARPA super secret squirrel project.
Manolo says, in perhaps the saddest and most unexpectedest news since the Fall of Rome, the timeless romance of the ageless pop-goddess Madonna and her one true love, Brazilian philosopher and savant, Jesus Luz, has come to the close.
Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… “Travels through Italy led me to Venice and an obsession started to attach glass to a shoe,” Fabrizio says. By placing Lagerfeld on an inexplicable red platform, the confused artist adds either an ominous neo-fascist tonality or suggests that Lagerfeld is a space alien standing on the transporter that beamed him down from the mothership.

Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Keira Knightly! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend Mark T. who was the first to correctly identify this week’s celebrity personage of note.
Manolo says, the espadrilles they have returned to fashionability, and this one, the Prada Cutout Espadrille Wedge has the modern edge that lifts it beyond the usual espadrillic baggage (such as rum-based drinks, peasant skirts, and vacation trysts gone awry).
Manolo says, if you have not been paying attention to the celebrity news, Kanye West has had some things to say about the fashion bloggers and other playa haterz who have criticized him for wearing fur. WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, REMEMBER THE FEARLESS, REMEMBER THE DREAMERS, EMEMBER THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE GHETTO…THE FAIRY TALE OF NOTHING TO SOMETHING. I’M BRIEFLY SADDENED BY NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED, INCAPABLE OR JUST PLAIN IDIOTS. WE ARE THE F*CKING ROCK STARS BABY. NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE MY NIGGAS!! NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE! IT’S FUNNY TO…
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has the request of the Manolo. Dear Manolo, I am the Mary (well, not The Mary, but the Mary around here). I agree with you about Crocs, and you have done the Lord’s work there, and I appreciate your references to your affiliated blogs. I am a big fan of the Manolo. What I miss are the Tuesday updates on what the Manolo reads, watches and hears. I have enjoyed many tips from these postings. I understand if it is too much work for the Manolo to be able to make these…
