Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.


Dear Manolo,

In two weeks I’m heading off to the Ivy League college of my dreams. Can you recommend a pair of stylish boots that won’t leave me broke?

Manolo says, ayyyy! Congratulations to the Manolo’s friend!

Sadly, the Manolo himself never enjoyed the benefits of the college education, as in his early adult years he was too busy working away at his chosen profession, shoe polishing.

But, he is happy to report that he now counts many graduates of the Ivy Leagues among his friends. Oh how the Manolo envies them and their college experiences: the binge drinking, the cramming for the tests, the incoherent lectures by the tenured savants, the late night “bull” sessions that devolve into fistfights with the unhygienic roommates.

But, in the end, it is all worth it, if only for the frequent and importuning calls, letters, and emails from the alumni “development” officers. And, of the course, for the opportunity to casually drop the words “went to school in New Haven” into any conversation.

As for your boot, here is the Canter from the Etienne Aigner, the handsome and reasonably priced riding boot in the chocolate color that would be the versatile addition to your wardrobe.
