Tres Gros Pieds

Manolo says, here is the article reporting that the feets of the French girls, they are growing.

The average French foot has grown by three centimetres in the past 40 years, and the French now buy more shoes, mostly made in Asia, than any other nation barring the United States, a new survey said.

The average shoe size for a French woman has risen from a 37 to a 40 (a seven in Britain and Australia, and a seven and half in the US), said the survey by the Centre Technique Cuir (Technical Leather Centre).

The French also now buy an average of 5.3 pairs of shoes a year, compared with 4.8 in the rest of Europe. The Americans remain the top buyers, treating themselves to 6.3 pairs of new shoes a year.

Manolo says, yes the Americans they buy many pairs of the shoes. Unfortunately, they have not all read the blog of the Manolo, else they would all know that it is not quantity of the shoes that is important, but the quality.

It is the rule of the Manolo that twenty pairs (Ha! one hundred pairs!) of the shoes from the Walmart does not equal one pair of these.

Behold!

I bring you good tidings of great joy

Manolo says, Behold, a child is born.

The Selma Blair is Insane

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s many internet friends has sent him this quote from the Selma Blair.

Selma Blair grabbed fashion king Karl Lagerfeld’s manhood when she first met him.

The stunning actress, who is married to Ahmet Zappa, was so impressed with Lagerfeld’s physique that she couldn’t resist having a feel.

She said: “He’s got quite a boyish body and you can see every inch of his boyhood in his pants, which are very tight. I think I touched it the first time I met him in my house; I couldn’t help myself. It’s just longing to be held.”

Manolo says, just thinking about this it has caused the Manolo’s gorge to rise in his throat. It is nausea making.

The Shoes of the Ashley Fawkes

Manolo says, the Manolo’s has just learned that the Manolo’s internet friend the Piers, his brother the Ashley is the skilled maker of the handmade shoes for the mens and the womens.

Manolo says, the feeling of these shoes, they seem to the Manolo to be very aristocratic; a little fusty, a little old-fashioned, but with the sense of the timelessness, and certainly they are of the first quality in material and workmanship.

They are indeed super fantastic.
