The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere.

From Ayyyy!

It’s made of vintage Sari materials, primarily silk of course, but also including gold threads. And while on the one hand, lovely fabrics, nice idea, unfortunately, none of these strapless, bubble-skirted 80′s throwbacks have anything like the authentic allure of a real sari…

From Crafty Manolo

I love the flowing lines typically seen, the texture with the slightly raised bits, the long history of the technique. If I were any good at embroidery, this would be the one I think I would do most.

From Green Manolo

If you’re not sure where your eco threshold is, imagine how green you’d have to before your joie de vivre would all but disappear in the face of your ever-expanding environmental consciousness.

From Manolo Jewelry

Now I’m not saying that one of my sister’s friends stole my beloved, cherished daughter’ s pride ring. And I’m not saying that I took umbrage at being accused of just misplacing it, when I KNOW I had done no such thing. And I’m ALSO not saying that I’m still bitter about it, twenty-three years later.

From Manolo for the Beauty

On all of those men, though, it seemed like the makeup was a definite affectation, a persona.

From Manolo for the Big Girl

It’s Tuesday, the sky is blue, the Scotch is plentiful and all is right in the world so it’s time to find out What Miss Plumcake is…

From Manolo’s Food Blog

This is weirdly brilliant, in the way turducken is weirdly brilliant.

From Manolo for the Brides

With all of the other things the poor bride-to-be has to think about while walking around on her wedding day – stand up straight! smile! where’s your train?! is your bodice slipping?! bra sweat!! MINTS!!! – why add one more worry for her to stress over?

From Manolo for the Men

…one woman who had both figure and face – and a sultry sound.

From Teeny Manolo

He was much too young for all of the extremely awesome book release parties that occurred for almost the entire series, and he should get to experience at least some of the hysteria that comes with an important pop culture moment, don’t you think?
