Chocolate Dress

The designer Lauren Smith from Edinburgh made a dress completely of chocolate. The designer spent two weeks to make the dress and it weighs 50kg.

Lindt, a famous brand of chocolate, worked with the designer, who won the Gradate Fashion Week Gold Award.

The dress was unveiled at Salon du Chocolat's fashion show in London. 
Lauren said: " It was such an exciting opportunity being able to create my first ever chocolate dress and work with the Lindt Master Chocolate, who is as passionate about chocolate as I am about fashion"

"I started to think of colours and what I wanted to add to the design. They wanted something that would be really feminine so I started playing around with simple shapes. They wanted something quite 
fitted too,' Lauren told to the Edinburgh News.

'I wanted to make it simple but bold so I decided to go with this A-line shape skirt and bodice.

'What I had in mind was the elegant diamond chocolate - which is the symbol of Lindt excellence - and I really wanted to use chilli and orange segments as they were some of the raw ingredients in the chocolate".

The dress it's beautiful, I love it. But I have many questions: how she had put the dress?, Is the dress very rigid?, Is it not cold?. 

Prince George of Cambridge

On 23rd of October the Prince George Alexander Louis, third in line to the throne, was baptised in the Royal Chapel at St Jame's Palace in London by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The ceremony was private, with only the royal family, some members of the Middleton family, the seven godparents and some best friends of the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge.
After the ceremony the royal family and the guests left the chapel for drink tea at Buckingham Palace, the Queen told to the guests how much she had enjoyed the ceremony. "It was very nice thought, wasn't it?" she told to the Archbishop.
Now we know the names of the godparents, they are Oliver Baker, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Earl Grosvenor, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Julia Samuel, William van Cutsem and Zara Tindall. Mrs Tindall is Prince William's cousin, the others godparents are all friends of the royal couple.
Prince George was baptised in a replica of the dress of Victoria, the Princess in 1841.
After the ceremony, Jason Bell a famous photographer was waiting to take a picture of the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George together.

I love this news because it's a traditional ceremony for the Royal family and it's beautiful and so elegant. I love the custom of the Royal baby wearing the traditional dress.

The little angel of Greece

In Greece a blonde, blue-eyed girl was taken by police from a Gypsy community, all the world wants to help this little girl, called "The little Angel of Greece", and find her real parents.
Greek authorities, Interpol and Europol are trying to find the parents of Maria, the name given by the couple posing as her parents for 4 years.

This Gypsey family had 14 children in total, and they all had false birth certificates. The police are looking to see if these children belong to this family or if there is something else behind this. The girl was taken away from the couple and given to the association of “ Smile of The Child”, that care of she for until they will find her parents.

A prosecutor became suspicious when he saw the girl with very pale skin in a community of Gypsies. The authorities said, she's doing much better.The girl lived in bad conditions and poor hygiene. She was found in a state of neglect, physically and psychologically. We don't know if she was forced to work or something similar.

When the couple were questioned, they changed all the time their story about how they got the girl. Definitely, they are not her parents. They have been arrested and accused of abducting the girl and making false documents.

I have many questions, How they can steal children?, Where are the parents of the girl? Why the authorities don't find her real name and her parents? Poor child.
