John Waters

(June 29, 2012)

I’m watching the entire John Waters oeuvre. Well, the bits that are available on DVD. I’ve reached his last movie, “A Dirty Shame”, from 2004.

My favourites are Artisan du Chocolat and Demarquette.  They make the most tasty box of chocolates ever. But featured here in this photo feature we … Continue reading London Review of Chocolate
