Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I love all the fabulous shoes you recommend, but as you know, things are tough out there, and I’m just a poor working girl. Could you suggest some office shoes that would look great for the fall, but not cost me an arm and a leg? Layne Manolo says, although it is true that one should always buy the super fantastic shoes of the best and highest quality, in the current recession of economic disastrousness, the monies for such beautiful shoes may not…
Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Jennifer Garner! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend Rach, who for the second week in the row, was the first person to correctly identify the weekly personage of note.
Manolo says, like the Queen of England, the Manolo carries no identification. (He is the Manolo! What more is required?) And because of this, his garments do not have the unsightly male wallet bulge.
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is…. Reading… Watching… Listening to… This article in the Slate magazine, by Ron Rosenbaum, it sent the Manolo back to the Nabokov to reread the poetry of Pale Fire. And now, the Manolo cannot but agree that the” John Shade” poem “Pale Fire” is the superior work of poetry, something that should be regarded as one of the greater works of post-war versifying.

Manolo says, your mission, Ms. Vionnet, should you decide to accept it, is to embarrass the middle aged starlet using only the dinner napkin and the plastic bin liner.
Manolo says, it is Monday and you are back at your desk doing that thing that you do for that money that you need. Normally, this would be the cause of mild discomfort and soul-weariness, as who would not prefer to be away from grindstone? However, given how roastingly hot it is out of the doors, you do not mind being in the air conditioning during these most Doggish Days of Summer. And, even the better, your boss, along with two or three of the office troublemakers, are away on their vacations, allowing all of the remaining worker mice to…
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I have a question about shoe etiquette. I recently attended a funeral for a work acquaintance, and was shocked to see that many of the younger women present were wearing sandals. I’ve always assumed that this was inappropriate. Your thoughts? Helen Manolo says, frankly, the ways of the modern world continue to disappoint and frighten the Manolo, and nothing moreso than the casual manner in which we now treat all of the most important events in our lives. All except for the weddings,…
Manolo says, frankly, the Manolo is suffering from the summer doldrums, and has need to spice it up the bit with something fun, something like these calf-hair, leopard print, ankle boots from the Brian Atwood. Is it perhaps too literal that the Manolo thinks of pairing these with something light khaki and safari-inspired? Hatari!
Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Mira Sorvino! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend, Rach, who was the first person to correctly identify this week’s personage of note.
