Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, As is appropriate for one of your long-time readers, my resolution for 2007 is to look super fantastic at all times. What would you recommend for New Years Eve? Jessica Manolo says, what does the Manolo recommend? Champagne! That, and the naïve and unbridled enthusiasm for the coming of the New Year, when we may cast off our old habits and begin life anew.
