I Miss U all my Blog

Last Friday I was watching another défilé/line/parade of chocolate fashions at Salon du Chocolat.
We were seated at the foot of the stage. Boy did we have to fight to get there. What a view we got!
This year's theme was Operatic. This fabulously dangerous gown was by Nestlé France SA, Coralie Robert. Inspired by the Nutcracker with a Tchaikovski-sweepy fish tail.
I LOVED this one and yelled out,

This contraption was by designers, Marithé + François Girbaud with Chocolats Pralus. I wish she'd kept it closed. I don't want to think what opera this is. I just want to scream

DUCK! Here come the chocolates!

This chocolaty number was designed by Herve Leger and with the help of French chocolatier Jean-Paul Hevin. At least it's highly edible. But the chocolate leggings I do not get.

No clue who or what but fun.

La Maison du Chocolat's homage to Bizet's Carmen made sense.

The king of caramels, Le Roux Quiberon made this odd feathery creation. Sadly no caramels were thrown at us...
Chocolatier Michel Cluizel et Jean Doucet in AÏDA

Enough with these chocolate fashions! Let's sink our teeth into some real chocolate! Well ok virtually...

Belgian Chocolatier Pierre Marcolini was at the Salon for the first time. They were quite generous with free tastes, considering his chockies are some of the most expensive in the world...

The little red hearts off to the far left are out of this world. They did not make it to the second day I can assure you-miam-miam

More reports to come on the 2009 Paris Salon du Chocolat, but get ready for New York's Chocolate Show coming up next week starting October 30.

I wish French chocolatiers would visit the New York chocolate fashions -

They do NOT have to be brown dresses for Gawd's sake. Where is the whimsy? Lighten up Frenchies.

New York Chocolate Show fashions ROCK!

I can't wait to see this year's show :)
BONJOUR CHOCOLAT FASHIONS!
