SWEET occasion

... I just found out about the ebay-auction of UNIQUE PEZ DISPENSERS modelled after the royal finacés William and Kate - stunning! Whoever would like to be presented with their legendary Pez candy (after all, Pez is an Austrian product, and a world famous one too - ah, and I just found out, they've even got a corporate blog!!!) by Kate Middleton and Prince William, you have got until 2 pm BST tomorrow afternoon to bid for the dispensers (the auction will benefit Startlight's Children Foundation). The last time I looked, 8,000 GBP was the highest bid. Sweet'n'royal ...

... nuova revelazione al centro della moda in Austria: dopo il formaggio, le caramelle. La tradizionale e molto famosa ditta PEZ, conosciuta per le sue caramelle e, soprattutto, per i piccoli dispositivi di plastica che sono spesso decorati con motivi di film conosciuti (tipo Star Wars e Paperino), ha invitato la designer a creare degli abiti per le signorine che rappresentano il marchio. Vabbe', abbiamo visto tutto di cui abbiamo bisogno. Domanda: il prossimo passo, logico se non mi sbaglio, sarebbe di disegnare una collezione di dispositivi PEZ con motivi fashion - vero? ...
