Aside from making chocolate,  I have been spending my time planning a chocolate fashion show as part of For The Love of Chocolate, a benefit that is happening February 10, 2007.  The event will benefit Careers Through Culinary Arts, a national non-profit that promotes and provides career and job opportunities for disadvantaged youth.  The proceeds will go to the Chicago chapter and make it possible for the organization to continue to offer scholarships and programs.  Last year over 1,000 attended the event.  This year, we are planning for three times that number!

I am seeking fashion designers who would be willing to donate an outfit for the chocolate fashion show.  The outfit will be given to a renowned chef who will turn fashion into chocolate.  If this is you or someone you know, please tell them about this opportunity.  The benefits to participating are recognition at the show and on the event website, a ticket to the benefit, access to the VIP area, lots of chocolate and I promise to be a wonderful hostess!  Please note that your garment will not be the same afterwards due to the chocolate. 

To give you a better idea of what this is about, the NY Chocolate Show has an amazing  Chocolate Fashion Show every year.  Look at their photos.
