Poultry as a sex symbol? Seriously?

Ok, I'm not a big fan of food in general, but this threw me for a loop.

Yes, I laughed, and then I thought it was so wrong!

At least they chose to showcase both a male and female poultry, at least I think they are based on the poses or I could be wrong.

Thank you Dark Roasted Blend - love your Cool Ad collections - for messing with my brain and making it more difficult to injest protein, now please go find more and then maybe I can loose a few pounds.

My #1 Favorite Thing is...

Chocolate!

Hot chocolate in particular and I hunt it down wherever I may be.

In 2007 I was reading a Travel and Leisure and found on page 188 with Best Hot Chocolate: Warm up to winter by indulging in a steaming cup of hot cocoa by Charlotte Druckman [find her on Twitter as @cettedrucks]. Here, where to ind the richest flavors around the globe. I pulled the page and it's been with me ever since, but I've never [I don't think at least] where the four noted are located, so here you go:

Angelina
226 Rue de Rivoli, First Arr., Paris, France
They are soon going to be selling goods from their website - oh yummy!

Cacao Sampaka
292 Consell de Cent, Barcelona, Spain
Hmmm, cocoa as a serious commodity.

Vida e Caffe
34 Kloof St., Cape Town, South Africa
Interesting, this website bugged me enough to push it to the bottom of my want to try list.

Trachtenvogl Cafe-Lounge
47 Reichenbachstrasse, Munich, Germany
Intriguing, but be forewarned, website has street noises, but there is an off button.

I've been to Angelina's before, talked about it recently, and it is fabulous, a great experience. Maybe this is the year I get to visit another on this list of goodness.

My #1 Thing I Would Like to Try is...

...stay in an Igloo Hotel.

I know, the cold is so not my thing and this kind of cold is not something I'd normally seek out to spend time in, but I'm intrigued by the ice hotels sprouting up and looking fun.

The Schneedorf in Austria [to the right] even looks romantic.

The only problem I foresee with staying in an igloo is that fish would most likely be on the menu and I eat nothing from water, otherwise, I'm there!

My #1 Perplexing Intrigue is...

...why this?

I'm not a horse fan, in fact I'm terrified of them, although I do like Bodo Sperlein's work, very smooth, elegant, and with enough whimsy to encourage a smile.

All that said, why do I keep going back to his Ascot Collection teaset for Lladro? And please don't ask me about the latters figures.

There's horses limbs thrusting out in weirly useful positions and heads used as stands, and yet I'm oddly drawn to it.

My #1 Designing Idea is...

...to put this Tokujin Yoioka Bouquet chair in a cozy Ladies Reading Salon.

Okay, no surprise, my version of a Man Cave would be a nook for me to sit back and read. This chair looks comfy and fun for curling up with a good book whilst sipping on something fruity.

There's also dark red version that screams out for a more private salon. Actually, there's a variety of colors, and all of them just make me think they'd be a nice place to spend time.

My #1 Frivolous Fashion Lust is...

...minaudière!

These are defined as "a small decorative case for carrying small articles (as cosmetics or jewelry)."

Told you it was frivolous and yet I'm drawn to them, would love to own many of them, but am content to look at and enjoy them from afar.

This all started with Judith Leiber, the first designer of the little jewels that I discovered as a teen, and have been looking out for her offerings ever since. Something I recently heard about was the Leiber Museum which houses both Judith's minaudieres and Gerson's modern art offerings.

Road trip!

[Thank you Merriam-Webster for definition and snippet on the origins.]

Something New!

This past weekend the cutie and I went to an AMC Dine-In Theater to watch Hangover II because the times worked for us, but it was a fabulous experience.

The seats were very comfy, [while we didn't order anything] the menu offerings looked decent, there were a variety of beverages - including cocktails and beer on top, and the matinee price was the best!

With quite a few flicks coming up that we'd like to see, we'll definitely be going here again!

Food as Fashion is here!

Beef and Chanel, who knew they'd mix so well, but Art Center College of Design in Pasadena student Nancy Wu managed to pull it off with style!
No, I wouldn't buy this bag - I'm not into labels or jerky - but I see a story potential here: A cowboy is asked to add some legitimacy to a western photoshoot for a top Parisian haute couture designer and ends up falling for the model wearing the gowns.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Inspiration is everywhere and I found this one in the Daily Mail.

Need to wear a tie?

There are times when a tie is needed and others when it's not, but that's where the fun begins.

Not sure where I found this pic or who the photographer is, but the model is Tym Roders.
