Modern Romance

By Manolo the Shoeblogger
October 22, 2010 in Celebrity with 21 Comments

Manolo says, it is common in the modern era for Internet relationships to progress rapidly once the participants meet for the first time in person.

Ayyyy! Cara mio, come to Papa Bear.

All of those weeks of emailing and texting, texting and emailing, until finally, he hops on the plane, and flies to your town for the weekend encounter.

Question of etiquette: do you slip him the tongue on the first date?

You embrace warmly at the airport, go to the dinner at this romantic place you know down by the river, dancing afterward, and then…?


The next thing you know it is Monday morning and he is still there, and you are sharing embarrassing confidences with your friends…

Dude in the middle is all 'Ack! TMI, Mahmud, TMI'

“This guy, by the beard of the Prophet, like a horse, Ali, like a horse.”

Three weeks later….

Just me, and my shaaaadow, strolling down the avenue...

You have completely rearranged your lives, moved in together, and formed the professional karaoke duo.

P.S. Please be so kind as to befriend the Manolo on Facebook and follow him Twitter.

    It’s always so cute when dictators find each other.

    Fat Mussolini and Little Hitler.

    Together again, and needing an unconditional whomping.

    Meanwhile, Obama sits there by the phone, constantly checking his e-mails, his facebook account, his twitter; waiting for them to call and invite him down, you know, just to let him know they still care….

    ….and still he waits…..

    Yet it does write itself, doesn’t it?

    I don’t see it lasting because of family disaproval.
    I know there are already whispers about not wanting someone in the family who works for a non Prophet organization.

    The problems come when they form a jealous love triangle. Look what happened in ’41 when Adolph and Benito decided to give Stalin a “dear Joe” note. 50 Panzer divisions crossing the border to deliver the “I don’t love you anymore” note.

    I’m wondering who is the bottom? And is there corporal punishment involved? Whips and chains? Floggings? Will there be video?

    I would call this Manolo’s Greatest Post, but he’s had so many great ones, it’s hard to choose. This one is way up there.

    The Manolo, he bestrides the world

    Why is Ringo Star saluting and wearing his Sgt. Pepper uniform?
