Manolo’s Monday Miscellany
Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… What would they pay you to have to wear this? High-heeled Hiking Boots: The Faux Practical. Do you know this man?

Manolo says, the Manolo politely reminds you that in honor of the unveiling of their new fall collection, our friends at the Carmen Steffens are giving away the $500 shopping spree! Look, here is something pretty from that new collection… Bold, beautiful, sparkly sandals. Only three more days to register for the contest!
Manolo says, it is Monday and you are back at your desk, doing that thing that you do, so that the people that you love can enjoy the comfortable standard of living typical of the Americans of your class. Sadly, this article has you convinced that the people of your class, the sort of well-educated, aspirational middle, no longer care about dance as the art form. This makes you sad, not merely because you have long been (to the chagrin of your husband) the balletomane, but also because you know how hard the young dancers work to achieve excellence, and…
Manolo say, ayyyyy! The super fantastic peoples at the Carmen Steffens are giving away the $500 shopping spree to one of the visitors to their website! Hurry and enter for the big drawing next Thursday, August 12th.
Manolo says, Ayyyy! Nanny McPhee-ish! You know what this costume requires…
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest colimn for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, Unfortunately, my summer is almost over. Soon, it will be time for me to go back to standing at the blackboard several hours each day, teaching math to high school students. Can you recommend some affordable, comfortable shoes that might match my style? I consider myself to be a moderately hip, somewhat quirky thirty-year old. Charise Manolo says, ah, how well the Manolo remembers his own algebra teacher, Sister Benedicta, otherwise know to the children as “The Slide Ruleâ€, not simply for her…
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked him the question. I am in a quandary re. red shoes. I can find amazing evening ones, but not respectable daytime ones. I know red is hardly respectable, but it seems to give a nice jolt to a day outfit, if only one can find the right pair. Any thoughts or suggestions? Or should I just stick with red evening shoes? Thank you! Dana Since the Manolo does not know whether these hypothetical shoes of the daytime jolt are to be worn casually or professionally, the Manolo will make the…
Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Cindy Crawford! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend, Katkova, who was the first to identify this week’s statuesque personage of note.
Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… It’s exactly like you’re walking back through history… More than 200,000 people visit their GP or even end up in hospital every year after suffering falls or developing long-term problems. Fitting the Fashion to the Action. Give me my summer back!
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is… Reading… Listening to… Watching… On the one of the hands, this movie The Youth in Revolt was mildly amusing, on the other of the hands, it starred the Michael Cera, the actor the Manolo can tolerate only in the smallest of doses. Happily, the supporting characters were wonderfully vivid and funny.
Manolo says, it is Monday and you are not at your desk, you are on vacation! “Calloo, Callay,” you chortle in your joy, for you have slain the Jabber Boss! Celebrate with beautiful shoes! And so you surf on over to the Saks Fifth Ave to view the new arrivals, which you know to be always filled with the most exciting new shoes from the hoity-toity designers. But, after the few minutes of looking you are depressed. You are depressed because, while these expensive shoes are beautiful and exciting, they are also undeniably autumnal, in somber tones of black and…
