Manolo says, nothing makes the man more hot for you than the colorful, breast-revealing squid costume.
Manolo says, the Manolo he has recommened this simple but elegant boot from the Kenneth Cole before, but now it is on the sale, reduced over 50% to below $100 of the American dollars! Truly it is the mighty bargain.
Manolo says, it is the Tuesday, time for What the Manolo is… Reading… Listening to… Reading… Watching… Several of the internet friends of the Manolo they were surprised in the last week when the Manolo noted that he was listening to the Outkast. “Manolo,” they said, “how can such the cultured person as you listen to the music of the rap, and the hop and the hip?” To this the Manolo he cannot but reply that the Manolo likes what the Manolo likes, and that he has learned, over the years, to not fight himself with regard to his artistic…
Manolo says, from the Elle Magazine, here is the gentlemanly Tim Gunn interviewing the Jay McCarroll! The first two design challenges established Jay’s point of view—funky, artsy, and edgy, with a splash of “f–k you†spice. But those challenges were not about real clothes. How would Jay perform when actual wearable clothes were the expectation? The third challenge, to design a dress for Banana Republic, would tell all. Jay took a major leap by creating a dress I can only call exquisite—the silhouette, proportions, and construction details (including an homage to the Chrysler Building in the form of an accordion-pleated…
Manolo says, the color of this vintage-seeming shoe from the Anne Klein it is called the “berry”. Despite the fruity name, there is to this suede shoe the richness that appeals to the Manolo. Is it not reminescent of the beautiful, deep colors of the paintings of the Early Renaissance from the city of Sienna?
Manolo says, the Manolo he must express his most heartfelt gratitude to the advertisers of the Manolo, the peoples who help the Manolo bring you his humble blogs. He is most especially thankful for the artist DeeDee9:14 for her support. If you have not visited the virtual gallery of the DeeDee you are not seeing the sort of minimalist art that the Manolo he would be most happy to hang in his own abode.
Manolo says, the Manolo’s internet friend the Catherine she has reported back to the Manolo about her evening in the presence of the greatness. The charity event was a great success. David Hasselhoff could not have been more gracious and giving to the charity (Make-A-Wish). He spent much time talking with people, posing for pictures (like the one I’ve sent you….the one with he and I came out very blurry…the woman taking the photo for me was smashed!). He whipped up enthusiasm for the auction and I can’t tell you how impressed I was with his graciousness and unselfish behavior.…
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s many internet friends has asked the Manolo the question. I have been graciously given a few coupons to use at Zappos.com But they are the “act fast or expire” kind. So armed with my new bonus of $70, I would like to find some neutral (bone, taupe, tan,bronze) strappy sandals. I can probably put a few extra dollars onto it (70+150 or so) but am wondering which of their lot is 1) not matronly 2) not too high 3) fashionable so I wonder, if the Manolo of the Shoeblogs.com would be so kind as…
Manolo says, look it is the Jay McCarroll! The Manolo he loves the Jay! He is the wonderful, sweet, talented young man. However, like many of the designers who dress the others well, he does not know how to dress himself well. Yes, he is doing better than the last we saw him when he had the caftans and crochets, however, the Manolo he would still love to give the Jay the over-making.
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has pointed out to the Manolo that, like the Beverly Feldman, the Holly Dunlap of the Hollywould shoes has the blog! Manolo says, Manolo loves the shoe designers who blog!
