Never teh Bride in the New York Post!

Manolo says, the Manolosphere’s own treasured wedding-expert diva, the Never teh Bride (a.k.a. Christa Terry) has been interviewed for the article in the New York Post! “Given the state of the economy, people are seeing that it’s smarter to use money they would’ve spent on their wedding on more useful, permanent things like buying a house or a new car,” says Christa Terry, author of “iDo: Planning Your Wedding with Nothing but ‘Net.” Terry says New Yorkers – who spend an average of $46,000 on their nuptials – are getting in on the trend. […] There are plenty of other…

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. Glinda… There was nothing else but this infant and their momentary bond. Which is touchingly sweet, and yet is at the same time a wee bit creepy. Spirit Fingers… Did nobody tell these two that they are supposed to be promoting the launch of another money-spinning fragrance? Plumcake… I feel that many of my shoes really need a yacht to truly be shown to their best… Raincoaster… Loyal TeenyManolites know that we’ve long kept a beady eye on the jaded escapades of debauched homunculus known as Elmo. The…

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. Diable… Porque sólo Anna Wintour es capaz de movilizar a tanta gente, entre diosas y lagartonas, animales y caballeros, en un mismo lugar y a una misma hora con la sola finalidad de vivir la moda por una noche completa. Plumcake… I’m sure that modern science, once it has sent a middle-aged man to Jupiter supplied with pills ensuring readiness for all the interplanetary nookie he can, ahem, stand, that the fine doctors and scientists will turn their heads to creating a film that is actually glamorous at…

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. Glinda… All these people who are screeching in outrage at the photo above of a “naked” Miley Cyrus need to step back for a second and take a deep Zen breath. Spirit Fingers… Congratulations Mariah, I don’t know too much about your new husband but may he bring you more bliss than a rainbow-soaked field of dolphins being held aloft by butterflies ever will! Isidore Gallant… Men’s jackets already have shoulder-padding, so why not some, er, rear-guard action Diablesse… ¡Oh, diosa! ¡Oh, grande! ¡Oh, Bundchen! Raincoaster… One doesn’t…

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. Diablesse… El amor de mi vida, como príncipe de cuento de hadas, cruzó la pasarela luchando contra otros “guerreros” del staff que le lanzaban infames injurias: “¡Sin pisar la pasarela, por favooooorrrrrrrr!”. Patri… ¡¡En Manolo Moda nos gustan los zapatos!! Isidore Gallant… As a proponent of judiciously chosen ornament, Izzy thinks this is happy news. Plumcake… Everywhere I turn it seems that women are plucking their eyebrows into tiny squiggles that look like –and I’m sure you’ll pardon my indelicacy– the “boy” part of the boy-meets-girl part of…

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the previous week from the Manolosphere. Diable… ¿Se imaginan a Christian Louboutin tocando la guitarra y desgarrándose en un escenario como Ozzy Osbourne o Iggy Pop? Mr. Henry… At these prices, Mr. Henry doesn’t feel that to expect one decent meal is asking too much. It’s an amusement park, after all. When you are hungry, you are rarely amused. Patri… A una amante del calzado, denle uds una pasarela para escudriñar, repasar, mirar, admirar….y encontrará curiosidades varias, como las que he ido mostrando desde que finalizaron las Pasarelas para el Otoño Invierno 2008/09.…

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. Raincoaster… Remember Tang? It’s what we had before we had SunnyD. Old people remember Tang, and the thing we remember best about it is that the astronauts had Tang in their space ships, and so we wanted it. 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…

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. Plumcake… Frankly, if you are not at a beach, in a communal shower or getting your toes did, there is no reason to wear flip flops outside the house. None? NONE. Patri… Si todo lo que la prensa conservadora y cerrada pensara sobre Anna Wintour fuera cierto, ella sería la culpable de la anorexia que padecen millones de chicas en todo el mundo, un monstruo destructor de carreras, una retrograda racista y una tirana editorial. Spirit Finger… She may enjoy the occasional traipse down Rodeo Drive to pick…

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the last week from the Manolosphere. Glinda… So then your child gets the idea that everything they do is this fantabulous piece de resistance that needs to be displayed on the wall or the refrigerator. Plumcake… But now I want to know, what would go in a Frog Water Cocktail? Diablesse… En ocasiones, el brillo resplandeciente de una estrella fugaz puede causar maravilla y ceguera momentánea. Mr. Henry… Mr. Henry’s friend Bernard, superb home chef and coiner of original observations, declared decades ago that although he was giving the kids pizza one night,…

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. Izzy… If women love a man in uniform, they must surely lurv a man in half of one… Patri… Un secreto: a todas nos gusta usar zapatos “divinos de la muerte” como los suyos, no le resto mérito, pero que a su vez sean prácticos y estéticos. Plumcake… Dane Cook: I AM A LLAMA IN A UNITARD! POW! Mr. Henry… Thus diet dominates life. Like a train wreck, the expanded waistline collides with the blue jeans which in turn degrade personal hygiene and shatter self-respect. Raincoaster… Oh yeah,…

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. Izzy… Ironically, that look—comprising a button-downed collar, narrow tie with a small knot, and three-button sack tweed jacket rolled to the second button (note the button hole on the lapel)—is now at the height of fashion… Plumcake… I have no problems with cheerleaders as a group, they’re sweet and bouncy, sort of like cocker spaniels with a slightly lower college acceptance rate. Mr. Henry… Once in a great while circumstances oblige Mr. Henry freely and without jealousy to admit that certain people simply have cool, that is to…

Manolo says, here is the best of the previous week from the Manolosphere. Spiritfingers… From the moment her gentle but experienced hands clasped around his postmodern cool aura, Quentin knew he had found his longlife muse and partner. Raincoaster… That’s “cliff” to us landlubbers. Mr. Henry… Please, Barack, if it didn’t work for the Mahatma, will it work for you? Twistie… Before you can start making serious plans for your wedding, there’s one thing it’s smart to do: decide on the other person who will stand at the altar with you. Glinda… I quit my job shortly after having the…
