Manolo says, the Manolo reminds you that there is much good information and entertainment to be had at the Green Manolo.
Manolo says, part eleventy-hundred in the on-going series, the Death of Civilization… “When we see each other, it’s romance. I don’t think pedestrian sex is very interesting,” Sting says in the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar. “There’s a playfulness we have. I like the theater of sex. I like to look good. I like her to dress up. I like to dress her up.” Don’t peg Sting as the romantic type, either: “We like tawdry,” he said. Mission accomplished!
Manolo says, sometimes the fashion blogosphere delivers up something wonderful…
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I feel left out. I seem to be the only woman in DC who is not wearing a pair of skinny jeans under riding-style/flat boots this winter. I have taken your lessons to heart and am no longer interested in buying cheap shoes, but I don’t want to invest in a trend that will look dated in two years. How can I buy a pair of boots that will be on trend right now but also classic enough to wear for years? (non-black…
Manolo says, not only do these boots, the Tahra from La Canadienne, have the virtue of being weatherproof (which is the important virtue, indeed, given the severity of this winter), but they also somewhat, if you squint, resemble the super fantastic Metropolitan Railway Boots about which the Manolo has recently blogged. And look! They are on the sale, reduced more than $60 of the American dollars from the usual price!
Manolo says, our friend, the inimitable Miss Plumcake, gives us the lesson in how to wear the jeggings. I have never been a fan of the skinny jean on big girls because it’s such a tricky look to deploy. Big girls, like Tolstoy’s unhappy families are all big (or unhappy) in different ways. Yet back in October my bff Meghan, who was also a plus-size model and is even more beautiful than I am (if you can imagine such a thing), was not just wearing but actively rocking jeggings. My tiny world was turned upside down.
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked him the question… Love your column! I went to Starbucks for coffee today and the woman in front of me in line was wearing the perfect shoes. I couldn’t take my eyes off of them and memorized everything I could about them! A quick search on the internet brought them up – Prada, but apparently from long ago. The pair I found online is not my size. Is there any way to find something comparable? Are square toes completely gone? They really were gorgeous. It was the color that was…
Manolo says, yes, it has come to this. For the people who believe that readjusting the Snuggie when you move from the Barcolounger to the mobility scooter is too much work, comes the Forever Lazy, described as :”the one piece, lie around, lounge around, full body lazy wear!” (Please note that the exclamation mark is in the original, apparently the punctuational celebration of sloth rewarded.) Put on the Crocs, and head out for the night on the town…Walmart, Applebys, Chuck E. Cheese. The world is your oyster! Or, stay in and make the sloppy joes! Recline in front of the…
Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Tina Fey! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend Rondi for being the first to identify this week personage of note. (Frankly, when the Manolo posted the photos this week, he was certain that no one would be able to identify the Tina Fey, so cheers to the Rondi!)
Manolo says, two years ago, when the Manolo was living in Argentina, he purchased the pair of these boots, the Timberland Earthkeepers 6″ in preparation for tramping about the wilds of Patagonia. He admits to having been somewhat dubious about them at the time… “Yes,” the Manolo said to himself, while examining them in the Timberland store in the Patio Bullrich, “they look very good, but they are not terribly expensive. Will they last?” And now, the Manolo is happy to report that they have given good service over many, many miles, and have become one of the preferred boots…
Plus Equals Manolo says, because as everyone knows, if you mix the ounce of sewage with the bottle of fine wine, you have the most tastiest cocktail ever! P.S. The tip of the hat to Manolo’s internet friend the Nancy.
