Manolo's Shoe Blog.Because every once in a while, you need something where the sole political content consists of commentary on Bush in a poncho.

Annie Hall's granny would be a lot more super fantastic if it weren't for the hair, which doesn't jibe with her outfit even a little bit.

That's quite the affiliate site.

So much so that they even bought the word 'manolo' from google adwords.

This custom goes back to Marie Antoinette, the shepherdess costume.

shoepal: I am glad you made an appearance here. Are you familiar with that wastrel calls himself shoeboy on slashdot and kuroshin?

In Louisiana "shoepick" (a fish only cajuns eat) is a very common nickname. Kind of like Bubba up north in Arkansas.

Try Fugly Is The New Pretty for more detailed, less product-oriented fashion snark.

Kerry wouldn't have looked nearly as good in that poncho. Aren't we all happy that he didn't win?

bush, kerry, nader...the beauty of the poncho photo is that no matter who we got in office, they would have looked assy in that thing.
