Superfantastic: The Shoeblogger Versus Vogue

Who doesn't love The Manolo?  He's usually blogging up a cheerful storm about shoes and fashion, but this time he's got something serious to say.  Do see his piquant takedown of Vogue magazine's recent sycophantic, useful-idiot article about Assad's wife.  That vomit-inducing bit of supine bootlicking calls Mrs. Assad a "rose in the desert" and whips itself into a froth fawning all over her outfits.  Does her chic fashion sense really excuse the murderous oppression in Syria?  Vogue will probably give you the wrong answer.  Then again, Vogue's been in trouble before for its lack of judgment.
