Chow Chocolate for Breakfast or, You Know, for Choice

Posted by Cienna Madrid on Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 9:50 AM

I was just sitting alone in the office, fantasizing about having chocolate for breakfast—specifically, this girthy See's Candy Chocolate Butter Egg, not some watery bullshit like a mocha—and it reminded me:

Chocolate for Choice is happening tomorrow night. If you've never been, it's a girdle-splitting blast. Picture a bunch of well-dressed feminists invading one of them fancy boxes at Safeco Field (the baseball place) talking and snacking on the delicate wares of 40 local chocolate companies—beautiful cakes, truffles, even chocolate bars shaped like birth control packets. (Fingers crossed for a chocolate NuvaRing this year, my mouth could use a break.)

NARAL Pro-Choice WA

The best part is, tickets start at $40 and all proceeds benefit NARAL Pro-Choice Washington. Ostensibly, at the end of the night a panel of judges—including the delightful Nancy Guppy, Jezebel's Lindy West, burlesque queen Miss Indigo Blue, Washington's new first lady Trudi Inslee, and me—choose the evening's chocolate winners but I fail to understand how there can be any losers in a situation like this.

If you're not busy, and you love lady parts and chocolate, you should attend.

(Safeco Field, First Base Terrace Club, 1250 1st Ave. S, 7-9pm, $40, tickets here)
