Manolo says, here are the few links that may perhaps amuse… I tore some shoes apart with a hammer, pliers, and screwdriver. Lesser-known labels that still pack the same distinctive punch continue to be a rare breed… On that fateful day at that fateful hour was born a new, true foodie.
Manolo says, it is the Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is… Reading… Listening to… Watching… The Manolo is still reading the books of the Mark Helprin, which he is finding not only entertaining in the extreme, but also inspirational.
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’ve been told that I must stop wearing pointy toed shoes because of a foot disorder. Could you recommend some non-ugly, non-flats that would be appropriate? Amy Manolo says, this friend of the Manolo is in luck. For the few years, around the turn of the millennium, the pointy-pointy shoes had come to completely dominate the shoe fashions. During the height of this mania, the tips of these stiletto-heeled shoes of pointiness began to lengthen, to the extent that the Manolo feared that…

Manolo says, one of the most common questions the Manolo receives from his internet friends has to do with the boots for the super fantastic girls with the muscular calves, who lament that they cannot find the tall boots to fit their physique.

Manolo says, once again, the Maestro Manolo Blahnik proves why he shall forever and eternity be our hero, he is simply the most witty, gracious, and charming person. The word “y’all” comes with hesitation. Manolo Blahnik sounds it out. “Yaaaawwwl.” If he practiced enough, he’d master a Southern drawl someday. But not today. “My biggest dream is to talk like a Southern person,” Blahnik says as he settles into a cozy chair at Neiman Marcus in Houston. He blots a trickle of sweat from his face and lets out a faint sigh. “I need an aspirin. I have a headache,”…
Manolo says, nothing cheers the Manolo like the visit from his favorite funky little fashion troll, the John Galliano! Look! He is the very model of the modern major designer! Everyone thinks they’re down there just playing pinochle at the Knights of Columbus Hall.
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is… Reading… Listening to… Reading… The Manolo is still reading the work of the Mark Helprin.

Manolo says, for the past few weeks, since the start of the new year, the Manolo the Shoeblogger has been feverishly writing away at his autobiography. Now, after this burst of activity, the Manolo is most happy to announce that he has reached the 120 page mark, and that his agent tells him that he is ready to take this brief sample of the Manolo’s magnus opus to the publishers, so that they may judge its literary worth in the markeplace. Yes, 120 pages sounds like the large portion, but at the rate the Manolo is going, he expects this…
