This huge vase is made ENTIRELY of chocolate, but the folks at Eclat get all huffy if you try to take a bite out of it.
The 11th annual New York Chocolate Show is taking over the huge Pier 94 space at West 55th Street this weekend, and the serotonin surge started last night with a colorful "Super-Hero" chocolate fashion show. Almost everything you see the models wearing here is edible, and the sweet threads will be displayed on mannequins until Sunday or until someone breaks past security and eats them, whichever comes first. But take it from us; security is tight!
The massive three day extravaganza features free samples and new products for purchase by over 60 top chocolatiers and pastry chefs including Jacque Torres, Francois Payard, and Fairytale Brownies, who wowed us with their cream cheese brownie. Nice work if you can get it. There are also culinary demonstrations being taught all weekend by pastry masters like Colleen Grapes of Red Cat and Martin Howard of Brasserie 8 ½. Tickets cost $28; more info here.

I wonder how this kind of excess is gonna play in the coming months as the economy continues to head south.
barbarella, right? as opposed to barbella?
I wonder if the chocolate will start melting from the models body heat or the lights?
chocolate and sex. two great tastes that taste okay together but at least looks really cool.
She is dressed like Barbarella but in the press materials it's Barbella. So either a typo or maybe they were worried about trademark issues?
Let them eat cake.
Unemployment on the rise, taxes on the rise, but people can afford to make costumes out of chocolate? This is just stupid.
What's stupid is thinking that people should or would stop everything because of an economic downturn.
When I was little my mother told me I should eat my food, not wear it.
