Manolo Blahnik is much beloved of the ladies but he hasn't done much for the men lately.That's about to change. Vogue UK reports that Manolo has created a six-piece collection for men. The designs that Vogue shows are not for the average man. Sure, the red Oxford isn't too far out there but it would take a special man to pull off the leopard-print sandal or the lace-up peep-toe slingback. The collection should be out in stores in February.

Think Manolo is the only one with daring designs for men's shoes? Check out more intriguing men's shoe options in the gallery below.

Manolo "BLAH" nik for sure! Right, what "man" do you know who will wear those?!?

Blahnik has benefited from clever publicity, but not only is he not a "man's man," he's not a woman's man, either: his womens' shoes are devilishly uncomfortable and VERY harmful to the feet. They remind me of a western version of Chinese foot-binding (constriction and eventual withering of the toes; severe limitation of mobility). Most of the pairs I've seen are clownish and absurd; it takes a celeb (read "compulsive exhibitionist") to want to be seen in these horrors in public, yet many otherwise intelligent women wear these things. Talk about the Emperor's New Shoes!

Open toe dress shoes will NEVER EVER be a hit in the
male fashion world....! These shoes are hideous....!

Sigh this person posting the kimkins links is trying to pawn off their affiliate link for a fraudulent and dangerous very low calorie diet scam.

Very low calorie diets should only be done under medical supervision for obese people whom meet specific criteria and only for a short timeprovided essential nutrients are met. This diet is none of the above hence it's dangerous natural, you have people living off of water or diet drinks alone in their desperation to lose weight fast. Rapid weight loss on its own carries a lot of risks and needs to be monitored closely.

This diet has made lots of people sick especially with their mental views towards food where these people end up afraid to eat, whats worse is that it has been heavily marketed to teenagers as well. On their forum they had a 14 year old girl struggling to eat only 500 calories per day, she wasn't even over weight!

She lied about her own weight by basing this diet around her own alleged success when she is indeed obese. She also put up a bunch of success stories which turned out to be almost all be fake with photos stolen from a Russian bride website.

She made 1.2 million in one month alone from taking advantage of people desperate to lose weight.

This scam called kimkins has made it to national TV across three different channels and she has already had to go into court for a deposition for the lawsuit with snippets aired on TV. You will find a link to the kimkins deposition here amongst links to other articles by others on this controversy:
