Posted by , 1280 days Ago

The Manzie Report: Sexy Back Therapy

Posted by , 1293 days Ago

Is it just me or is there like some weird energy going around? Maybe it’s the economy, or the loss of key Democratic states so soon after President “Change” Obama took office, proving that Americans don’t really want change, or perhaps it is the pre-holiday blues.

The Manzie Report: Male Grooming Dos and Don’ts

Posted by , 1303 days Ago

Men, we’ve come a long way since Fred Astaire and the Golden Age of Hollywood, when slicked-back hair, a clean-shaven face, spats, a top hat, and tails were in vogue; today that combination sounds more like a costume than a reality. Through the years our wardrobe has become much more casual, hair lengths went from […]

The Manzie Report: Paris Fashion Week Was Burning

Posted by , 1317 days Ago

Fashion Month seemed almost endless this season. Thankfully, it ended in Paris where there were highs and lows, ruffles and bows, lots to chew on and even more to spit out. My favorite collections were Chanel, Lanvin, and Hermès. Three distinct looks…all impeccable and “chic, chic, chic” (at the risk of sounding like Elsa Klensch). […]

The competition is fierce between New York, Paris, London, and Milan for “most important Fashion Week.” It is an ever evolving process as to which city owns the top spot; surely Paris has to be the most influential, due to its rich history and deep fashion roots.

Posted by , 1330 days Ago

It started at New York Fashion Week…continued at London Fashion Week and again in Milan. Shoes are no longer just shoes…they are a statement, and the focus on the catwalks. At Phi, all the girls wore heavy shoes…even with little mini dresses. Anna Sui also showed heavy shoes with mini skirts. In London, Matthew Williamson […]

Posted by , 1364 days Ago

Has your end-of-summer stomach ache started yet? Surely, you know that feeling. It started when we were kids, that huge knot in your tummy that makes you double over in physical and mental pain. The first time you experienced it was the night before the first day of school, after a joyous, carefree summer. It […]

Manzie Report: Sp-hair Me or What Not To (Hair) Do

Posted by , 1371 days Ago

Hair is probably the most complicated issue of our time. Perhaps second to universal health care, but still an issue of the highest, most unprecedented order. Oh, yeah, and world peace. On second thought, hair is the number one issue for mankind, and all other things follow suit. Well, admit it. You spend more time […]

At the risk of sounding redundant to those of you who have been following my Manzie Reports for quite some time, I wanted to take this moment to review, remind, and introduce to the new readers, “What is a Manzie?” (Pronounced man – zee) and why are we reporting on it? After reviewing the recent […]
