Best Dressed at the Emmys: The Manolo’s List

Manolo says, here are the Manolo’s favorites from the Carpet of Red from the last evening. Susan Sarandon… This is the lovely, restrained, classic black gown, with the proper amount of glamour, and unlike many of her most recent outfits, does not display her magnficent Sofia-Lorenesque bosom overly much in the vulgar manner. . Emily Deschanel… Few are the times the Manolo can recall bangs working for such the august occasion, but here they go marvelously with Emily Deschanel’s tiered purple gown. The look is fun without being silly. .

Manolo the Columnist: My Charm by Salvatore Ferragamo

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’m starting a new position this fall as the director of a private Montessori elementary school.
