Project Runway 3, Week 8

Manolo says, Paris and the Project Runway? C’est Magnifique! Jetsetters? Ayyyy! Let the Manolo be the first to say that this is not the possee that the Manolo would want to take with him to the Ibiza. The Manolo usually associates with the better class of drama queens, airheads, recovering junkies, and befuddled old men. But, one must “make it work” and so this motley crew went at their appointed task with the vengeance, producing the outfits that were mostly fit for wearing to the Salvation Army, where they could then be exchanged for something more stylish and au courant.…

I’d like a woman who’s really intelligent. “I saw this girl recently…

The Awards of the Emmys

Manolo says, each year the Manolo he has roughly the same reaction to the Emmys, “who are these peoples?” The Manolo he does not watch much of the popular televsion, not because he is one of those annoying holier-than-you peoples who scorn the popular entertainment, but for the opposite reason, because he loves the television too much. And thus, the Manolo must forgo the television watching, lest it becomes all he does, every day. The result it is that the Manolo knows few of the peoples who each year attend the Emmys, to accept the awards for the shows he…

Manolo says, here is the latest of the Manolo’s columns for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I am a happily married mother of three, and I’m finding that as my 35th birthday approaches, I am craving some really nice red shoes. OK, “nice” isn’t the word. More like “hot”! Can you recommend some red heels, not over 3 ½ inches that are super fantastic but not too “young”? Cahdi Manolo says, ayyyyyy!

Manolo says, this episode of the Project Runway, it had it all: the anger, the tears, the ladies of the certain size, the Micheal Kors and the mother of the Michael Kors in the Mommy-and-Me outfits! Ayyyyyyyy! Such fun! First, allow the Manolo to say, adieu, sweet Barbie Prince Bob. Yes, everything you made looked as if it was something you had just purchased down at the Ross Dress for Less, but you were still the nice guy and you had the big gym-made biceps. Second, allow the Manolo to congratulate the crazy Vincent for designing what was the superior…
