What the Manolo Is…

Manolo says, it is the Tuesday, time for the What the Manolo is…

Reading…

Watching…

Reading…

Listening to…

The Manolo he has posted the few more remarks on the books and the movies over at the Manolo’s Media Galore.

The Perfect Fit

Manolo says, Ayyyy! The Manolo he has just received his advance copy of the Miss Meghan’s new book, The Perfect Fit: What Your Shoes Say About You.

In the opinion of the Manolo it is the wonderful addition to your shoe-based library. It is the book filled with the inimitable wit and the wisdom of the Manolo’s favorite non-Manolo shoe maven, the Miss Meghan.

Best of the all, this book it is funny! You must buy it!

The Manolo has spoken.

Manolo the Book, Part 2

Manolo says, many thanks to the friends of the Manolo who have left the most helpful comments about the future book of the Manolo. The Manolo he will be incorporating many of these suggestions in his book, or perhaps, what may well turn out to be two or three of the books.

Again, much thanks to the internet friends of the Manolo who have helped with this question, you are indeed super fantastic!

Manolo the Book

Manolo says, many of the internet friends of the Manolo have been saying to the Manolo, “Manolo, why do you not write the book? It would be most super fantastic, indeed.”

At the first, the Manolo he was resistant to the idea of the book. Who would pay the $18.99 in the American dollars to read the blatherings of the humble Manolo, especially if this it can be obtained for the free at the Manolo’s blogs.

But then the literary agent of the Manolo he convinced the Manolo that the book it was the very good idea, that perhaps many people they would pay this money to hear the Manolo pontificate on the fashion and the celebrity, and that this world of ours, this crazy mixed up world of ours, it needs the Manolo now more than the ever.

And so, the Manolo, he has decided to write the book, one filled with the wit, wisdom, and fashion advice of the Manolo.

Now, of the course, the Manolo he needs two more things. First he needs the publisher. (By the way, if you are the publisher who would like to give the Manolo the giant advance, please contact the Manolo immediately so that he may put you in the touch with the literary agent of the Manolo, so that the wire transfer details they may be worked out.)

The second thing the Manolo he needs is for his many internet friend to tell him what they would like to see the Manolo write about in this theoretical book of his.

It is no secret that left to his own devices the Manolo he would love to write the book about how the Hollywood it has mistreated the genius that is the Hasselhoff, but the literary agent of the Manolo he has nixed this idea.

So, help the brother out, and leave the ideas for the Manolo in the comments section of this post. The Manolo he eagerly awaits your help.

News Flash! The Stilettos Are “Hot”!

Manolo says, here is the very obvious news from the newspapers: Stilettos are Soaring in Popularity.

Stiletto heels force a woman’s back to arch, pushing her bosom out in the front and her rear in the back, further accentuating the feminine silhouette. Men like it, and so do women, says fashion historian Caroline Cox.

“Men like an exaggerated female figure. Stilettos also make a woman seem quite delicate because you have to balance (in the shoes). She might need a man’s hand,” Cox says.

“Women like them because they have a reputation of being glamorous and sexy. Women also get height, which makes them feel powerful.”

Cox wrote Stiletto (HarperDesignInternational), which traces the modern history of the ultra-high heel. She credits 1950s’ shoemakers Roger Vivier, Andrew Perugia, Salvatore Ferragamo and Charles Jourdan for rescuing women from the utilitarian wartime footwear of the previous decade.

Since then, stilettos have remained a fixture on the fashion scene, hitting heights in the ’50s and ’80s, and they’re soaring now. Cox notes, though, that the look of the modern stiletto is evolving from a witchlike pointy toe to a rounder toe, and Prada, a favorite among the stylish set, is returning to a thicker cone-shape heel that was popular 20 years ago instead of the narrower slope familiar to fans of Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik.

In the 1960s, the heel was square, while in the late ’70s – as a backlash against the wedge and the clog – stilettos either had a punk-rock edge or they were disco sandals, Cox explains.

Manolo says, it is obvious, nothing can make the legs of the woman look better than the stiletto heels.

Also, the books by the Caroline Cox they are always worth the reading if you are interested in the history and the meaning of the fashion, and who is not intested in that?
