The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere.

Raincoaster…

Patri…

La primera vez que los ví no fueron de mis favoritos, recuerdo que desde el principio los llamé “andamios” porque su tacón me recordaba a esas estructuras que hay en el exterior de los edificios y creo que ha fuerza de verlos decidí cogerles cariño y hasta decir ¡Qué bonitos!

Mr. Henry…

Walt Disney World is America’s #1 tourist destination – a vast Orwellian shining city in the swamp brimming with bratty English schoolchildren spitting insults at cowed, permissive parents, with tattooed teenagers trying desperately to pretend they aren’t walking beside uncool parents, and with grinning sunburned, foot-weary pilgrims of pleasure plodding on and on and on.

Glinda…

Plumcake…

Last night as I was glamorously soaking my feet in my equally glamorous beige Rubbermaid dishtub full of epsom-salted water and rose oil (ignore the old-folk associations, epsom salt soaks are brilliant)…

Diable…

Es mil veces más chic llevar un Marc Jacobs (de carne y hueso) que un chihuahua


Never teh Bride…

If you, like me, have more books than you know what to do with but aren’t willing to donate them to a books for teachers program, then you may just have more than a passing interest in bookshelves.

Isidore Gallant…

Robert Redford costumed himself as an old-fashioned school teacher…

Diablesse…
