The Goat's a shoe-in


Behold what may be the best Valentine's gift of all time: a life-sized solid chocolate high heeled polka-dotted shoe filled with gourmet truffles. I realize the readership may have been able to visually glean that description despite my unfortunate photographic attempts, but hey, how many times does a girl get to type "life-sized solid chocolate high heeled polka-dotted shoe filled with gourmet truffles" in her life?

Damn. I'm up to two.

Note how the chocolatier offers up those luscious truffles in lieu of a chocolate foot thereby defying the devastating assertion that one-cannot-have-one's-chocolate-shoe-and-eat-it-too. Sweet joy of life!

I love that the chocolate shoe is a gift for me as well as everyone who sees it, for the chocolate shoe surely renews the viewer's faith in humanity. If the vicarious experience isn't enough however, you too may procure your own chocolate shoe from Sweet Designs where they make them by hand.

It is now February 17 and the chocolate shoe has been in my possession for three days. I've only eaten one of the truffles and clearly deserve some sort of award for that. Yes, I will share the truffles with my darling Goat and Lil' OB. I'll even offer them nibbles on the white chocolate embellishment.

But dear reader, when the time comes to lift shoe to mouth (and that time will indeed come) and wrap lips around that dangerously inviting heel in preparation of a bite that promises be infinitely more orgiastic than the decapitation of a thousand chocolate bunnies, that pleasure will be mine and mine alone.

After all, a person can only share so much.

I think the shoe should be spared at least long enough to drink a pitcher (or two)of chocolatinis from it...then on to the aforementioned orgiastic truffle-stuffing...MR
ps-that's some Goat ya got there...

When I saw the picture, I thought it was a real shoe. So I, for one, am glad you provided a description.

Excellent photo composition! I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned the boobies in the background.

I just watched the video on how that thing is made, and damn... that is amazing.

Also, her accent is messing with me something fierce. Her Yugoslavic-speak is awesome, but she says the words 'Gift Bag', 'Packaging' and 'Bubble Wrap' like she's from Boston.

I'd eat it.

OH! Hey, I see our bag of marshmallows in the background... opposite of the boobs. How did I miss that?

Boobies, mallows, wine and a chocolate shoe. A chocolate shoe for chrissake!

I swear I'm underutilized.

Where are the aforementioned boobs? I feel cheated.

But that shoe is a much better use of money than if it had been spent on flowers.

Good for you, EOB!

twinkly sparkles said...

Okay. I found them. Are they made of chocolate too?

I wouldn't eat them, but I would eat the shoe.

If the boobs are not chocolate what are they? I love them.

"Boobies, mallow, wine and a chocolate shoe"...There's gotta be a '4 basic food groups' joke in there somewhere...MR
PS..."Please prove you're not a robot" as the new WV prompt? Can Romney jokes get any easier?

The boobies are featured on a souvenir coffee mug gifted to me primarily because they have tan lines.

Hence, although you could not eat the boobies, you could drink from them, which has a certain symbolic poetry to it.
