Dear Manolo: Have Yourself a Ball

I'll be going to a couple of the inaugural balls next week. I've picked out a suitable outfit — a midnight blue satin gown and an heirloom brooch that belonged to my grandmother. What do you suggest for shoes? — Teri

MANOLO SAYS, ayyyy! Everyone who is anyone (of the non-Republican persuasion) is getting dressed up in their finery and heading to Washington of the D.C. to dance the celebratory dance of the new presidency!

Of the course, while the common peoples will be dancing in the streets and their homes, the more fortunate and better-connected persons will be attending one of the fancy balls.

In such places, one may mingle with the shakers and the movers and the big wheels, and with the doddering senators and the rascally representatives, all done up in their gala suits, and three sheets to the breeze intoxicated on champagne, hotel ballroom surf-and-turf and elective power.

All of this so that you may catch the briefest semi-obstructed glimpse of the new president and his wife dancing during those three minutes when he visits your particular ball.

Look, here is the Stuart Weitzman Riccimid ($335, Zappos.com) with exactly the right amount of decoration.
