Plaid, My Lad
Manolo says, our friend Raincoaster has pictures from the fantastic Scottish fashion show.

Manolo says, speaking of oddballs with talent…Lin Yu Chun.. Everyone is going on about the Whitney imitation, but for the Manolo, the following video is the much better performance… And now, the question is, what to do with the pudgy, funny-looking, teenaged man-child with the girlish-beautiful voice who likes singing in the foreign language? Well, the Manolo can think of one very prominent role model for Lin Yu Chun…
Manolo says, the editors of the fancy lady fashion rags are in the uproar. “The Internet has allowed people to be ‘couch critics.’ You could sit anywhere in the world, you could sit in Oklahoma, look at a fashion show on the Internet, you could post your thoughts . . . the Internet has made fashion a lot more democratic in this way. You know, Tavi, like her or don’t like her, she’s 13 — whether she even really writes it herself, the idea that she has gotten all this attention, it’s because of the Internet, not because of anything…
The Manolo politely reminds you that he has joined the world of Facebook, where he occasionally now airs his thoughts about life, dining, and fashion… Naturally, he would be most honored if you would consider making him one of your special Facebook friends. P.S. You may also wish to follow some of the Manolo’s more banal and ephemeral pensées on the Twitter.
Manolo says, perhaps it is time for the Manolo to revive the Gallery of the Horrors… These are not just the simple Birkenstocks-which-have-mated-with-stilettos-thus-violating-all-that-is-holy , but rather the pleather Birkenstocks-meets-the-stilettos, and not just made-from-faux-leather Birken-stilettos, but also the $625 fake leather, mutant Birken-heels. Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, $625 American dollars can get you these…. The Jimmy Choo Suave Satin Sandals, with almost enough change left over to buy these… The Elie Tahari Carlise flat sandals. Of the course, the Manolo would never object to paying this much for beautiful shoes. But for ugly shoes which pay homage to the crunchy…
Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Lauren Conrad! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend Heather MacAllister (whom the Manolo thinks would be the perfect person to write the best-selling romance novels featuring elves, and maybe dragons, with perhaps the randy nazgul as the villain), who was the first person to correctly identify this week’s low-wattage celebrity of note (by the way, girlfriend needs to buy the bigger shoes, just saying).
