And yet, even as we acknowledge the debt designer Jeremy Scott has paid to the people at Hanna-Barbera, we must also note that these shoes, although amusing, are only half as amusing as they think they are.

For the Manolo, they are perhaps too obvious, the joke perhaps too labored. Or perhaps the real problem is that the Manolo wonders about the circumstances in which one could wear these peculiar shoes.

Part of what made the famous Marc Jacobs mouse shoes so wonderful was that they were casual shoes, which mean that one could safely enjoy their whimsicality without undermining one’s style choices. The problem with the bone heels is that the joke has been wedded with the more formal court shoes, and thus to find the occasion where their humor would be appropriate or welcome with your black dress and pearls would be difficult.

For me knock-offs are like tracing the images of comic books. Someone else did the hard work and you just traced it and didn’t have to come up with an original thought.

Derelicte!!!

The thing is, I have absolutely no idea WHY I feel like someone locked me in a portapotty filled with angry badgers, I just do.

Manolo the Columnists: Moschino Platform Sandals

Manolo says, here is the Manolo CHLSALE.COM latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.

Dear Manolo,

My family is very traditional. Every year on Easter Sunday we get dressed up in new clothes and go to church, followed by a big dinner at my parents’ home in Virginia. This year I’ve selected a pale yellow shift. Can you recommend something fun and stylish to go with it?

Manolo says, oh how the Manolo loves the spring time!

Why, just the few weeks ago, we were in the midst of the twin disasters of the Snowmageddon and the Snopocalypse, and now, look out the window!

For the Manolo, the peak of the season arrives on the afternoon of Easter Sunday, when the Manolo puts on his best suit and finest straw boater, picks up his bamboo walking stick, and strolls uptown, cheerfully greeting his neighbors and friends along the way. Eventually he will reach the park, where he will sniff all the flowers, pet all the dogs, shake all the hands, and pat all the children on their heads.

Such are the small but meaningful pleasures of Spring.

Here is pair of lime-colored, high-heeled sandals from Moschino, that would be perfect for your Easter brunch.

Spring Has Come With Love to Town!
Cimmy Sandal From Martinez Valero
Lenten ys come with loue to toune,
With blosmen ant with briddes roune,
That al this blisse bryngeth.
Dayeseyes in this dales,

Vch foul song singeth.

Away is huere wynter wo
When woderoue springeth.

Ant wlyteth on huere wynne wele

Ant wyht in wode be fleme.

When he visited his good friend Henry Rogers, the Standard Oil baron, he would insist upon taking six suits with him and would change at the slightest scuff. No one would outshine this peacock.
