Only Karl Lagerfeld could desensualize one of the world’s great aphrodisiacs — chocolate. (via BoingBoing, image Jacky Naegelen of Reuters.)

‘Master chocolate maker Patrick Roger employed 1.5 tons of something asparagus-thin Lagerfeld never eats to create the scented spectacle for ice cream brand Magnum, complete with a chocolate carpet and chocolate-book-filled chocolate nightstand,’ writes WWD.

Over a low-calorie lunch — with slivers of pineapple for dessert — journalists lobbed questions about why Lagerfeld takes on an ever-surprising array of projects. “I do what I can relate to and I haven’t done before,” he explained. “I like to do things quickly because I’m easily bored.” So is there anything left for him to do? “I can make a list of what I’ve done, but I cannot make a list of what I have yet to do,” was his retort.

Could we just dispense with the obvious and agree that Karl’s chocolate sculpture of Giabiconi is really hung? Perhaps it’s to amplify the association with the chocolate bar. If you notice they are designed to be parallel models of each other — the chocolate bar and chocolate phallus monument to masculinity.

If you thought eating premium ice cream should be a pleasant experience, think again — unless you are as wicked as I am. First we have the commercial.
