Mr. Henry on the Tiger Mother

Fat Foot Week

Manolo says, all week long, our friend, Miss Plumcake, is discussing the trevails of having the big lady-feets and the troubles of finding the shoes to fit them. Yet, like a baby in a tumble dryer, I can only ignore your cries for so long. You want wide width shoes, you’re gettin’ em. All week long.

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. From Manolo for the Home In addition to being an obsessive reader, I’m also an obsessive book hoarder.
