Editorial Review for Manolo Blahnik – by Jennifer Howze
The Scene
Never mind the prices, or the celebrities and fashion editors like Anna Wintour and Sarah Jessica Parker who've made the brand's reputation. A high heel from this Spanish designer lifts any women to the exalted height she deserves. That's why the boutique buzzes like a slumber party. A soccer mom greedily eyes her four-inch stilettos while a woman nearby ooohs and aahhs. A blonde plays dress-up in a studded style just shy of dominatrix. And $20,000 in footwear lays scattered on the floor as the staff cheerfully fetches box after box.
The Goods
There's no better toe box in the business: pointy on the tip, cut straight across, preferably revealing cleavage. Even those who can't afford the strappy sandals, whimsical mules or colors of the moment should consider investing in these sexy pumps. After seeing how delicious they look on, one usually decides that $495 isn't expensive at all.

Can you email members here? Is there an open chat/forum? THX
