I love chocolates! I can't imagine a life without them. So to all chocoholics out their, take a chip and enjoy this chocolatey post.

The 2007 Haute Chocolate Couture Collection in New York City showed off with a lot of chocolaty fashion on the ramp. The display kicked off the 10th Annual International Chocolate Show in the Big Apple. Models walked down the catwalk in shirts made of dark chocolate, white chocolate, chocolate squares, and chocolate chip. Indeed, there was something to suit everyone's taste.

"It's actually amazing. It's not everyday that you get to wear something like this, so I'm really, really excited about it. It's a first time experience to be wearing cookies," said Ashley Moss, Model.

The chocolate show also coincides with the ongoing 'Chocolate Week' in New York City.

Here are some yummy photos from the show:

Japan's My Chopstick Bra

In Japan, a "chopsticks bra" has been unveiled for busy women by Triumph International. The bra maker wants to pass the "green" message with hopes will cut down on disposable chopsticks.

The "My Hashi Bra" (or My Chopstick Bra) comes with collapsible chopsticks stashed inside the body of the brassiere. One cup resembles a rice bowl and the other looks like a serving of miso soup.

Triumph spokesperson Hiromi Shinta said: "Its small step, but because many Japanese chopsticks are disposable, big chunks of forests are being cut down. So we thought we could help promote the use of "My Chopsticks" and help cut down on disposable chopsticks."

Superheroes Were Reunited @ 11th New York Chocolate Show

I would say that aside from love for chocolates, every child loves to be a superhero. I bet some grown ups shared these dreams too. This year's 11th New York Chocolate Show (Nov. 7-9) fulfilled everyone's fantasy by featuring some of the our favorite superheroes and villains. Wonder Woman, Bat Girl, Poison Ivy, Dark Phoenix, Xena, Storm from X-Men, Barbarella and Iron Man were among the characters that walked down the catwalk. Delicious edible chocolate outfits were created by designers that paired with chocolatiers and pastry chefs. What more can we ask for?

Wacky Camouflage Fashion From Japan

Camouflage, a blotchy, stealthy pattern born to blend into the background, is grabbing attention all over the urban, style-setting landscape. It has grown far beyond its original purpose of giving hunters an edge over wary animals.

On contrary to the usual camouflage fashion ( jackets, pants, hats, backpacks and purses in military troops camo uniform), Aya Tsukioka, a Japanese experimental fashion designer, has developed a line of completely wack camouflage.

The designs include soda and vending machines, fire extinguisher bookbags for kids, and even a purse that resembles a manhole (so you can throw it in the road if you're being pursued and not get your stuff stolen, just run over).

So to all who fear crime, you can throw some of your money and have these fashion craze.

Prepare The Way for Robo-Posh

With the Spice Girls upcoming concert, Victoria Beckham was roaming around with her futuristic/Sci-fi image.

She was posing for more photos in Paris like some sort of feminine robot sent from the future to battle a totalitarian police-state. If so, Robo-Posh should probably look a little more seductive and a little less constipated.

JLO and SJP Latest Couture Look

For JLO:

Take a look at one of JLO's outfits for her and Marc Anthony's tour. The dress/ pants/ parachute may look like a Halloween butterfly gown for RuPaul mixed with a Tiffany Lamp. With its butterfly theme, Mariah will be ordering one in every color for sure.

I guess the in-denial-soon-to-be-mother wanted to hide her baby bump.

For SJP:

With the "Sex And The City" movie now filming in New York, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and the gals are coming back, and they are bringing along some wacky fashion. From the sneak peak photos it certainly looks like Miss Bradshaw's styles are as funny and challenging as ever. For her, a giant flower on her chest is a good idea.

Can't Get Enough With Paris Hilton Greeting Cards

Do you still remember the"That's Hot" Hallmark card?

Reminiscing:
Paris Hilton sued Hallmark for $500,000 over a greeting card that said “Paris’ First Day as a Waitress” and features a picture of Hilton’s face on a cartoon waitress serving food that says: “Don’t touch that, it’s hot. What’s hot? That’s hot.”



Now:
I guess people just can't get enough of the "humorless" heiress humor cards. I accidentally bumped into this site, Gallery of Absurd , saw these greeting cards, and laughed my heart out.
