Superheroes + Fashion Show + Chocolate = What the @#$%?
Seriously, what the fuck? UK’s Telegraph tries to explain:
Models, dressed in carefully crafted chocolate outfits, depicted Lara Croft, Bat Girl and a warrior princess among others. The unique costumes were created by chocolatiers and pastry chefs for the catwalk show on the Hudson River.
…
The edible catwalk extravaganza launches the New York Chocolate Show, an annual weekend-long event where 60 chocolatiers pack into a 55,000 square foot venue offering free tastings and professional demonstrations of chocolate recipes. Sylvie Douce and her husband Francois Jeantet first organised the show in France but soon moved to New York to attract a global audience.Ms Douce said: “I decided to found this show with Francois, my husband, my ‘chocolate lover,’ because everybody eats chocolate in the world and chocolate makes you happy.”
No, really?what the fuck? (Via Great White Snark)
