Manolo’s Shoe Blog

This time the Manolo has heeded the suggestion of his friend the Sarah to play with the variations, and so he gives you the Manolo Survivor: Build the Outfit for the Poor Girl version of the game.

Here, then are the shoes…

Pretty, no? But you are not completely certain about them, as the buckle seems perhaps slightly excessive. But, they are from Celine and they are $500 of the American dollars!

Of the course, you would never buy them for yourself, as you are the poor girl, but your crazy friend, who is dating the Greek billionaire named Stavros, recently purchased these shoes, wore them once and now does not like them, and so she has given them to you, and they fit perfectly.

So you must build the outfit worthy of these shoes, but you only have $200 with which to do so. Still you are clever, and your crazy friend says that Stavros has the single cousin who is nice and quite handsome, and perhaps there may be the chance at the double date.

Go! Hurry! Build the Outfit!

Please be so kind as to post your answer in the Manolo’s Forums.

On Friday afternoon, the Manolo will pick what he thinks is the best outfit made for under $200 of the American dollars and award the person who composed it with the $100 gift certificate to the Zappos.

Manolo says, there were 53 entries for the Build the Outfit contest at the Manolo’s Super Fantastic Forums.

The Manolo jumbled up the entries and randomly picked one name from his hat. And the super fantastic winner was the MiscMama, who submitted the entry which paired the Giuseppe Zanotti geometric wedge sandals with this green purse, the white sunglasses, and this simple Isaac Mizrahi white dress from the Target.

As the prize the MiscMama will recive the $100 gift certificate from the Zappos!

There were many entries which were quite praiseworthy, look at this one from the
Manolo’s internet friend the Edot…

The Manolo liked this one so much that he has decided to award the Edot the super unnanounced second prize of the $50 gift certificate from the Zappos.

Congratulations to the winners!

And now you may browse through all of the entries at the Manolo’s Super Fantastic Forums.

The Manolo reminds you that at noon EST tomorrow the Manolo will suspend the first round of the Build the Outfit contest and randomly pick the entry to which to award the $100 gift certificate from the Zappos.

It not yet too late to submit your answer to the question, what would you wear with these shoes?

Thus far, 42 peoples have answered the question.

And that is not all! More than 100 have registered to talk about the various other things in the Manolo’s new Super Fantastic Forums, things such as “Important Hair”, “Where to Find the Bargain” and why “Pale is the New Tan”.

Manolo says, the Manolo reminds you that the Manolo is running the contest Build the Outfit in his new Super Fantastic Forums. The Manolo gives you the shoes, and you describe the perfect outfit with which to wear them.

On Friday afternoon the Manolo will pick one of the entries at random and award that person the $100 gift certificate from Zappos. Of the course, there is the catch, you can only enter by registering for the Manolo’s Forums and posting your entry in that place.

The Manolo has to say that he has been quite impressed with the quality of the entries thus far, but go there now and see for yourself.

Manolo says, today, in honor of his new forums, the Manolo is starting the new game: Build the Outfit.

The Manolo gives you the shoes, and you tell him what you would wear with these almost-but-not-quite tacky platform shoes from the Giuseppe Zanotti.

In order to participate you must register at the Manolo’s new Super Fantastic Forums and leave your reply in this thread.

On Friday afternoon, the Manolo will randomly pick the winner from among the participants and give them the $100 Zappos gift certificate!
