For Twelv Magazine's debut, they made a dress (inspired by Alexander McQueen's Parrott Dress) out of FIFTY THOUSAND GUMMI BEARS!
To create this 220 pound masterpiece, the designers Hissa Igarashi and Sayuri Marakumi covered a wire frame with vinyl and spent 3 weeks gluing on the gummi bears by hand. Truly impressive!

Strangely, these little guys come in a set of Smurfs and Cherry Cola. Cute and tasty!

(Your German word for the day is "Schlumpf," which is the German name for Smurfs)

And for dinner, we're having burgers!
Bears & Friends' buxom Playgirls and Playboys (plus some paint) are perfect for Baywatch!
The burgers above are Trolli MiniBurgers, complete with marshmallow bun and cheese, and gummi burger and lettuce, individually packaged in a burger box. ;)

Red Roses from Bears & Friends - these are really tasty! Flavored cherry, strawberry, raspberry, and black currant.

By Haribo, of course. Licorice, unfortunately.
I read a great book last week - The Great Penguin Rescue, by Dyan deNapoli. It's about the rescue of 40,000 penguins after a major oil spill off Cape Town. I definitely recommend it, especially if you like penguins... though parts are sad if you like penguins. However, it's overall a happy ending of the largest animal rescue ever, and one of the most successful. In addition to dealing with thousands of penguins covered in oil, they also had to figure out what to do with the penguins who so far were clean, but whose islands were about to be hit by the oil slick. The brilliant solution was to round up those penguins and transport them by truck to another beach 16 hours away. They knew penguins usually return home to their breeding grounds, so the gamble was that they could clean up the beaches by the time the penguins swam home. It worked, and thousands more were saved (and without having to rely on already stretched resources to feed and house them).

Trolli's "Milch Kuh" are cute and made with powdered skim milk. They're not bad, but they taste a bit too much like milk for me. However, they are full of calcium, and absolutely adorable.
It was hard to do much with disembodied heads, but I gave them some pig friends (from Katjes' "Fred Ferkel" gummis. No idea who he is, but he's cute and apparently also is available in bands of 4 heads stuck together (No, I don't understand, either).
