Chocolate Igloo?
Any time somebody builds something big and impressive out of chocolate I tend to be amused and enthralled. The inventiveness and scale they achieve in their creations always leaves me floored, and this is no exception. At the Eurochocolate fair in Italy (now added to the list of events I want to attend) they have built a full-sized igloo out of chocolate. That's over 3 tons of chocolate (if I'm converting from metric correctly). I'm torn between the shocking waste of 3 tons of chocolate and the cool absurdity of a chocoalte igloo. Neat stuff. The gallery at the Eurochocolate site is excellent (though their site is a little slow) so check it out.

I vote for "shocking waste of 3 tons of chocolate."
Extensive photo gallery... each thumbnail is a folder.

Everyone loves chocolate and women love shoes. I, Stephanie Seymour (artist in Perugia) was one of the 2004 events in this town during the big "E".
No waste of chocolate at all! My shoes(www.stephanieseymour.it) are 100% shoe, fabric, glue, nails, cardboard...you name it!
Only thing, I am looking to exhibit them at other chocolate fairs, events, fashion shows, shoe museums. Any great ideas out there? Soon I'll be in Los Angeles and would love to get a next show going. They were in a famous designer's window of Madison Ave, Michigan Ave and here in Italy. Please write me -- you'll find contact on my website. Ciao! Stephanie (ps Dear Chocolate Obsession blog -- I'd be happy to send you a photo for your blog...write me!)
