The Awards of the Emmy

Manolo says, many of the Manolo’s internet friends have been asking the Manolo for his opinion of the show of the awards of the Emmys and the clothing of the famosos who were there.

In the word…meh.

The show and the clothes they were so boring, that only the few minutes could be managed before the Manlo he felt it necessary to flip the channel in the hopes of finding more entertaining fare, perhaps like this.

Yes, there were the few who were willing to entertain us with their awful fashion. Such as this sad girl, who was screaming for the attention.

No, the Manolo he does not know who this person is, nor why she was invited to the Emmys, nor even why she is dressing like the Pompeiian prostitute, but such were the pickings of slimness at the Emmys that this pitiable person would nearly merit our attention.

And so the Manolo he has not the report to give to his many loyal internet friends. But trust the Manolo, you did not miss much.

Manolo says, the Tylia of the San Carlos, California, (who may be known to some of you as the commentor BisNation) she is the first winner in the Manolo’s contest!

Her name it was selected at the random by the Manolo to receive the copy of the Jane Eldershaw’s very amusing book Heart and Sole : The Shoes of My Life. (The Jane Eldershaw she is of the course, one of the judges of the Manolo’s Super Fantastic Essay Contest.)

Manolo in the City of the Brotherly Love

Manolo says, please forgive the Manolo as he had to briefly step away from the blogging this weekend to attend the fancy semi-society wedding on the Main Line in the Philadelphia. The best man he was the New York muy famoso.

Of the course, the trip it included the visit to the King of the Prussia Mall for the shopping extravaganza with the Posse Manolo. It is not the secret that the Manolo he rarely enters the malls, but there are the precious few (The Mall of the Short Hills, the Galleria in the Dallas ) for which he will make the exception.

To the mind of the Manolo, this pair of the daring shoes of the Giuseppe Zanotti, was the best purchase of the trip. (That and the little something the Manolo he had to purchase for the Manolo himself.)

This shoe it good because it is on the exact border between the trashy and the classic, where, as the long time readers of the Manolo know, the true fashion lies.

Once in the while the truly fashionable girl she must cast out the book of the rules and chart her own course in the matter of the footwear, she must defy the convention, and the staid and the stultifying rules of the mob.

The Word Count

Manolo says, the Manolo he must remind you that if are submitting the story to the Manolo’s Super Fantastic Essay Contest you must adhere to the restriction of the no more than 300 words. It is the rule, not the suggestion.

Yes, the Manolo he recognizes that there is perhaps the irony in the fact that the Manolo he has just rejected one of the hoary old rules about the wearing of the white shoes, but in this case, the rule about the word count it is both practical and necessary.

Already the Manolo he has received nearly 50 entries to his contest and it is only the second day! Also, imagine if you will the uproar from the legalistic peoples if the Manolo he were to give the award to someone who wrote the essay of over 1000 words! Ayyyyyyy! The headaches.

So, in the conclusion, please keep your stories under the 300 word count.

White Shoes After the Day of Labor

Manolo says, here is the latest column from the Manolo, in which he answers one of the most difficult of the questions in the world of the shoes:

Dear Manolo,

White shoes after Labor Day, yes or no?

Janice

Manolo says, ah, the eternal question to which the Manolo he gives the eternal answer: yes, yes, the thousand times yes, the white shoes they may be worn after the Day of Labor.

Usually, the Manolo, he is the man of traditions, however, some of the traditions, such as this one, they are the vestiges of ridiculous rules made by the petty peoples.

Instead, the correct rule it is always appropriateness. It is indeed not appropriate to wear the flip flops to meet the Mr. President. However, it is most appropriate to wear the super fantastic white shoes anytime the weather it is clement.

If the shoe looks good, the shoe it must be worn.

These white sandals, the Hilton from the Nicole Miller, would they not look good, even in October?

The Manolo he does not shy away from the controversy!

The Shoes for the Teachers

Isaac Mizrahi Sidney Fuschia Manolo Likes! Click!

Manolo says, here is the original director’s cut of the Manolo’s latest column.

Dear Manolo,
I’m a new teacher of middle and high school students, so I need comfortable yet fabulous and affordable shoes to go with dress pants and knee-length skirts.

Allison

Manolo says, well the Manolo remembers from his own days of schooling the new teachers who would arrive the first day filled with the indomitable spirit of young idealism. Of the course, by the end of the month many had decided to take up less challenging occupations such as the professional wrestling.

But, perhaps it will be easier for the young teacher to hold on to the idealism (and avoid the unsightly hammertoes and bunions of the elderly school marm) if she has the stylish and wearable shoes.

Such as the Sidney from the Isaac Mizrahi. It is the traditional but attractive moccasin-toed pump that comes in the untraditional colors, such as this fuscia. Even the better they are on the sale at the Zappos, over 50% off!

The Manolo he does not wish to complain, but the process of the newspaper editing, it takes some of the color out of the Manolo’s prose.
