Everyone likes chocolate.  Most people love chocolate.  The question is would you be able to stay in an all-chocolate room?  I’m not just talking a room full of chocolate, though the room is full of tables of delicious Godiva chocolate as a reward for their annual Valentine’s Day giveaway (the room will be put together in May).  I mean chairs coated in chocolate, candy logs in the faux fireplace, foil-wrapped chocolates in the chandelier, chocolates built into the furniture… it’s a luxury hotel room made from chocolate!  Check out the photo gallery for maximum effect (but I wouldn’t recommend it if you haven’t had breakfast yet, as my stomach is growling just looking at it!)

It looks gorgeous, and as someone who has bought Godiva chocolates for Valentine’s Day on a couple of occasions, I can only imagine how expensive the room was to put together.  Not to mention how delicious the room would be to gnaw on.  The smell alone would be amazing, not to mention getting the chance to just literally roll around in chocolate goodness. 

It’d be a shame to chew a chunk out of a chocolate chair, but since it’s Godiva, and after the room has been used it will be dismantled, well… I’d probably take everything that isn’t nailed down home for future eating.  I’m talking suitcases filled with foil-wrapped chocolates, bedding, and a candy chocolate log to chew on during the flight home.

Fashion designer Marc Ecko’s designs draw from a variety of inspirations, but there’s nothing as cool as his Black Rhino clothing articles.  After all, the Black Rhino collection is the home of the incredibly awesome Black Rhino Jason Hoodie, inspired by Jason Voorhees and the classic 80’s slasher movies in the Friday the 13th series.  […]

Throughout history, there’s been one constant.  People are going to do whatever they can to make themselves more beautiful.  Whether it’s a tattoo of an Internet superstar like Tay Zonday, a tooth tattoo, an eyeball coloration, or even an amputation disguise, there’s no shortage of ideas on what people can do to the body to […]

As lights get smaller and more powerful, you’re going to start seeing them in more and more places.  For example, check out the Galaxy Dress from CuteCircuit.  This formal-style gown made of crinoline, chiffon, 4,000 Swarovski crystals, and 24,000 LEDs is a pretty impressive combination of form and function.  Assuming you want to function as […]

Twenty years ago today, on November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall came down.  The wall, separating East and West Berlin, was a symbol of the Cold War between the free world and the Soviet Union.  Google has a great selection of images from Life Magazine detailing the history of the wall, and there’s also a […]

From the outside, Emma Cahill looks like your average school girl.  She just turned 16 and attends St Mary’s Convent School in Worcester, England.  She is active in sports and has many friends, but there’s one thing different about Emma.  At 6′5, she is the tallest teenage girl in the UK.
Fortunately for Emma, her unusual […]

The New York Marathon ran this weekend.  Surprisingly, the winner was an American; in fact, Eritrea-born Meb Keflezighi is the first American citizen to win the marathon since 1982 (the year after I was born).  However, with an estimated 42,000 runners in the marathon this year, not all of them are hardcore professionals.  There are […]
