Manolo’s Shoe Blog: The Great Granddaddy of All Shoe Media

Fashion blogging is rapidly becoming a highly profitable new media business, with a mixture of independent blogs and well-funding fashion blog networks competing to dominate the space.

Manolo’s Shoe Blog is believed to be the most profitable independent fashion blog, rumored to be earning around $700,000 a year. Manolo has confirmed he earns a six-figure salary through his blog, which crosses two popular niches - shoes and celebrity. The blog is written in the third person by ‘the (anonymous) Manolo’, and has a real cult following. His fey flambee writing style reads like a tragic-comic scripted Latino soap opera. Which obviously keeps his guilty-pleasure fans coming back for more. He’s even self-published a plucky little melodrama called The Consolation of the Shoes.

How can one sum up Manolo the Shoeblogger? Take two parts Ricky Ricardo, a dash of Zsa Zsa Gabor and a sprinkle of RuPaul - shake vigorously and decant into ridiculously expensive European crystal - and there you have it, Manolo the Shoeblogger.

Since appearing online in October, 2004, Manolo’s Shoe Blog, has become one of the best read fashion sites, and the Manolo himself has been praised by the Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Fortune, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, and the master shoe designer himself, Manolo Blahnik, for his eccentric, outrageous sense of humor. He puts the fun into funky shoe gossip - full of cocky aphorisms and oddball observations.
