Manolo says, the Xmas, it is approaching and Goody Glinda at the Teeny Manolo has been bust putting together the lists of toys, to include the list of the hottest video games for 2008. The 12-to-29 year old boy in your life will be certain to thank you profusely.
Manolo says, far be it from the Manolo to take pleasure in the misfortunes of others, but…. Crocs Inc. shares plunged 45% Thursday, stumbling after the colorful sandal maker reported a whopping third-quarter loss and warned of further financial pain as it downsizes what was once a high-flying business to better match sharply reduced demand. Happy days are here again, the sky o’er head is clear again! The Crocs are dead this year, Amen! Happy days are here again! P.S. Many thanks to the Manolo’s internet friend, Aaron, for this good news.
Manolo says, here is the latest column of the Manolo for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’m going to my boyfriend’s parents’ house for Thanksgiving next week. The problem is that I’m a Republican and my boyfriend’s parents are ardent Democrats. They’re very nice, but they are also super-political, so I’m sure I’ll be subjected to lots of gloating. (My boyfriend is no help at all. He’s a libertarian.) What do you recommend to help me get through the weekend? Cecilia Manolo says, America, the Manolo begs of you, please, stop! The campaigns are over. Put away…
Manolo says, if you are not reading the Teeny Manolo, you are missing out. Just this week alone, for the example, our friend Raincoaster has located the video that has elicted the following comment. He’s going to be really disappointed when he grows up and realizes he’s not a king or some sort of wizard. While the darling Glinda, is angered by the new internet website. Yet I have to admit that another part of me is pissed. Angry that a website had to be developed to do something that every single parent should be doing, and doing happily. It…
Manolo says, behold, the new fashion trend has gripped the nation to it’s bosom. Why are New York women wearing ankle boots? “Because we follow trends,†said Maya Beaumier, 18, a college freshman who was hanging out on University Place last Friday night, clad in flat black ankle boots with black leggings and scrubby denim shorts. “Yeah, we’re followers!†said her friend Maureen Flanagan, also an 18-year-old freshman and also wearing little zip-up ankle boots […] The coeds have done their homework. Ankle boots are, in fact, the shoe of the year. (They’re also known as “booties,†but because that…
Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the President-to-be, Barack Obama! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend Cassandra who was the first to identify this most important personage of note. P.S. As for the photo below, in which Barack appears to be pantless, the explanation is shown above: he is sitting down.
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is… Reading… Watching… Listening to… The Manolo has come to the conclusion that it is impossible to make the fully satisfying cinematic adaptation of the Jane Austen novel. Indeed, only the person who had never read the novel Persuasion could be content with the latest filmic version, staring the Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones. Yes, there were portions of the production that were amusing, but the final fifteen minutes, which showed the Anne Elliot racing about Bath like the Sarah-Connor-style action heroine, were especially absurd. Likewise, the Manolo was…
Manolo says, this week, our darling Ms. Spirit Fingers challenges us to identify the Hollywood Gone Bollywood.
Manolo says, it is Monday, and you are again back at your desk, although, this morning, when the alarm clock went off and you discovered you were still wearing the same underwear you had put on on Friday morning, you almost didn’t get up. But, what did you expect on Friday morning, shortly after you donned those panties, when the telephone rang and it was your old college friend, the dangerously dangerous Erika announcing she had just arrived in town for one of her semi-irregular visits? Ericka? Ayyyyyyy! Ericka!!! Nooooo! To say that Ericka is “nothing but trouble”, understates the…
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, My husband has just gotten the dream job of a lifetime, an assignment that literally puts him at the top of the heap. So now we’re going to celebrate with a giant party in January when the new job officially starts. This party will be a dressy affair, with tons of important people, toasts, dancing, dining, a real blowout. What would you recommend in the way of shoes? I’m thinking of wearing gown by Narciso Rodriguez. Michelle Manolo says, ayyyy! Congratulations on your…
