Chocolates: For that Loving Feeling


Celebrity World Vol. 4 No. 185, February 20, 1995
On the cover: Jao Mapa and commercial model Ruth Pilar Barnett

Chocolate is a commodity probably as popular as Valentine’s Day. So, an article about chocolate, “Chocolates for Valentine: For that Loving Feeling,” is also very popular, such that I had re-written it several times for different magazines.

“Who is this whose glance is like the dawn? She is beautiful and bright, as dazzling as the sun or the moon..... I am trembling; you have made me as eager for love as a chariot driver is for battle.” – Song of Songs 6:11 & 13, The Good News Bible in Today’s English Version.

Picture Trivia
          French actress Brigitte Bardot was one of the “Sex Symbol” of the 1950s and 1960s, who gained international fame after starring in the controversial film And God Created Woman (1957). Bardot was the subject of the 1959 essay, The Lolita Syndrome, by Simone de Beauvoir, which described her as the “locomotive of women’s history” and in existentialist themes declared her the “first and most liberated woman of post-war France.”
