Tangentially Related

This might not be completely on topic, but in the area of "oh those crazy Japanese and their chocolate" I bring you a couple things close to my own area of interest.

Firstly, I'm on a Japanese site called Poupee Girl. Basically you earn virtual "ribbons" to buy virtual items to dress up your avatar. For Valentine's Day they released special items, and one of them was this chocolate themed lolita dress:



The print on the skirt looks like a bar of chocolate, and the dress also comes in a pink chocolate color or a white chocolate color. ^^

Also, last summer a lolita brand called Angelic Pretty released a print they called "Melty Chocolate." It came in several different color combos and variations. You can see a lot of them here. It was so popular that it sold out on their website in about a day, and to buy the dresses second hand now you have to be willing to shell out between 400 and 500 dollars. I think I have some Melty Chocolate ads in one of the magazines I have, so I'll bring them to the meeting, if anyone is interested.

Hope everyone finds this at least somewhat interesting!
