Manolo the Shoeblogger has revealed his true identity - H.D. Miller, chair of the Department of History, Politics and Philosophy at Lipscomb University.

Quote:
I met H.D. around 2008 when he was still deep undercover as Manolo; it was a brilliant strategy, creating a niche for himself as a pioneer in the then-new world of fashion blogging (which is now ubiquitous, with loads of one-person fashion blogs and photo-oriented Tumblr sites, and established publications adding blogs to their Websites after initially sneering at the notion in the early naughts). And simultaneously, a way to completely depoliticize a blog by establishing a new identity, along with the outrageously affected tone of the European panache that was the shoe-blogging style of the Manolo.

...my history as a writer took a surreal turn, and in October of 2004 I became one of the first fashion bloggers, a pseudonymous figure cited in the press as both one the funniest things on the internet, and a model of how fashion blogging was changing commerce...

Today, I’m a professor of history, and chair of the Department of History, Politics and Philosophy at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. Most of the classes I teach are in Islamic and pre-modern European history.
