Manolo says, not only do these boots, the Tahra from La Canadienne, have the virtue of being weatherproof (which is the important virtue, indeed, given the severity of this winter), but they also somewhat, if you squint, resemble the super fantastic Metropolitan Railway Boots about which the Manolo has recently blogged. And look! They are on the sale, reduced more than $60 of the American dollars from the usual price!
Manolo says, our friend, the inimitable Miss Plumcake, gives us the lesson in how to wear the jeggings. I have never been a fan of the skinny jean on big girls because it’s such a tricky look to deploy. Big girls, like Tolstoy’s unhappy families are all big (or unhappy) in different ways. Yet back in October my bff Meghan, who was also a plus-size model and is even more beautiful than I am (if you can imagine such a thing), was not just wearing but actively rocking jeggings. My tiny world was turned upside down.
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked him the question… Love your column!

A quick search on the internet brought them up – Prada, but apparently from long ago. The pair I found online is not my size. Is there any way to find something comparable? Are square toes completely gone? They really were gorgeous. It was the color that was…
Manolo says, yes, it has come to this. For the people who believe that readjusting the Snuggie when you move from the Barcolounger to the mobility scooter is too much work, comes the Forever Lazy, described as :”the one piece, lie around, lounge around, full body lazy wear!” (Please note that the exclamation mark is in the original, apparently the punctuational celebration of sloth rewarded.) Put on the Crocs, and head out for the night on the town…Walmart, Applebys, Chuck E. Cheese. The world is your oyster! Or, stay in and make the sloppy joes! Recline in front of the…
Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Tina Fey! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend Rondi for being the first to identify this week personage of note. (Frankly, when the Manolo posted the photos this week, he was certain that no one would be able to identify the Tina Fey, so cheers to the Rondi!)
