I'm in the process of having one, Richard =) Cheryl, this is from the bakery down the street: the slice a croissant in half and put an almond custard in the middle.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
YES!!! And I'm being so good, I still have half of it left. I'm totally ruining my dinner with this thing =D
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I love the almond paste thingy on the inside. Holy Crap I am getting hungry!
- Mona Nomura
My absolute favorite is the bear claws from Panera. They've gone back to making them the old way - very sweet - and just full of a sweet streusel filling with a little almond paste. Mmmmm.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
I would totally have an almond croissant if I knew where to get one... I don't frequent bakeries usually, and I don't even know if there's a bakery in the area that makes them. But the bear claws from Panera sound really good and are easily accessible for me. :)
- Cheryl Jones
Perhaps I'll just have to make my own almond croissants sometime.
- Cheryl Jones
Cheryl, sounds like you need to take some bakery field trips to test the availability in your area. Darn, having to try baked goods at multiple bakeries ;-)
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I have to say, that is the best looking almond croissant I've seen. That is my favorite too!
- @CrystalinaB
@Tina: That's a tough project, but I'm up to the challenge. :D
- Cheryl Jones
Did a quick Google search for local bakeries and all of them seem to be geared toward cakes/cupcakes rather than pastries. So I searched for a recipe and found this: http://chocolateandzucchini.com/archive...
- Cheryl Jones
Looks really good! I might just try this myself. :)
- Cheryl Jones
TechCrunch hasn't broken the embargo yet even though I thought I heard Mike say he was going to post his screenshots up before the embargo. I think it's nice that he has not yet.
- Thomas Hawk
I think Mike went home and decided to post about Twitter/Google instead to take his mind off FriendFeed.
- Ken Sheppardson
I am sure there will be plenty of buzz tomorrow when the news breaks officially. Enough buzz for everyone.
- Paul Jacobson
I'll be at work when the embargo is over so I wont be able to play until night.
- LPH™ and his dog P™
I'll be on an airplane when the embargo is lifted. I'll have to post via magic.
- Louis Gray
@Louis Or you could change your flight to Virgin and tweetblog it out from 33k feet! Just sayin.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
boy thomas isn't that sad that you have to say "i think its nice that he has not yet"?
- Allen Stern
Brian, Louis doesn't need to do that - he has little twin babies doing his work for him. It's magic.
- Jesse Stay
Wait, is there still time for me to make something in Photoshop so I can "scoop" everybody else, even though what actually gets released has nothing in common with my Photoshop mockup? :D
- Wirehead
I bet Louis will have it up 1st using his magic.. FTW
- Wayne Sutton
Wayne, assuming I write anything (which I haven't yet), I would have to save it as a draft and beg Jesse to post it for me. :)
- Louis Gray
Louis, you can set the post to show at 9am ;)
- Nicholas James
Nicholas, I have one post set for 9 and one for 10 so far. More coming.
- Louis Gray
I am in Holland on business and the time difference has me all screwy. I've been patiently waiting, but have another five hours :-\ back to work...
- AJK
Some of us are up at 6 and will not be able to see video later (alas, the firewalls in healthcare are challenging to say the least)
- Loretta Donovan
Too bad Louis is on a plane and missed the new embargo time.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Louis has posts scheduled to go up at 9, 10, and I think 11.
- Ken Sheppardson
Dan - I agree, I miss Louis' input and enthusiasm.
- Susan Beebe
so Robert what about that video. how long will it take to upload?
- Alexander Kucera
I'm having a LOT of troubles with Blip. The file sizes are too big. I'm having to make them lower quality. This really sucks, sorry.
- Robert Scoble
I see. Bummer. Well, we will have to wait then. No problem.
- Alexander Kucera
I guess we know which one came first. :)
- Sarah Perez
sarah was the embargo broken? (i was outside)
- Allen Stern
Will we be able to see the FF show soon on scobleizer or on listen on gillmor gang?
- JRblog
ok which thread is friendfeed watching where we put a summary of comments???
- Damian Holmes
Damian: They are filtering on "friendfeed" so will see your comment. (I'm doing the same, which is how I saw this one).
- Robert Scoble
has it slowed down for you guys since pre-9am
- Andy Fox
Andy: the feed is going WAY faster as everyone discovers a "new shiny thing." But the speed of reloading pages has gone down as traffic here has gone up.
- Robert Scoble
I have another photo of the back, but FF doesn't like 3 10mpx photos loaded at once, so I'll link when I get it into Flickr. I want this corset.
- Admiral Anika
Small? Anything more than a handful is not small, especially for me cuz I got big hands...
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Um... Anika... are we looking at the same boobs? I'm thinking those are Ds or bigger. :-) I like 'em smaller.
- Joey Gibson
small? You wouldn't motorboat those so much as rock your head 90 degrees back and forth.
- Matthew DeVries
I was standing right there in front of her and they're not that big, it's the effect of the corset. One of her boobs was like half the size of one my boobs. That usually means C cup.
- Admiral Anika
Anika, while I'm prefectly willing to believe your claim, re: her boobs vs. your boobs, I'm sure there are those here who are, shall we say, skeptical about this claim. I suggest, to clear up any misgivings that some may have, that you post pics, forthwith. ;-)
- Joey Gibson
She looks like she could feed many children. seven or eight times a day. However, I had to look at the big picture, because I wasn't sure what was hanging off her skirt. It didn't look, uh, virtuous or normal on a female, but I knew a closer look would straighten me out, and then I could see that it was just the way her matching belt divided up the corset.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
ROFL. First time I've seen a conversation like this on FF =)
- Praveen Vasudev
In the science of cup size, the band size is proportional to cup.Say you take a size of 36dd,the next band of 38 would only be a 'd' cup,go to 40 and you get a c cup.Obvious implants on this girl and I place her at about 34dd size. My work involves scanning many boobs :p
- Janet
Gotta gather a crew to expedite the uncharted sea :)
- Yunus Tunak
@Anika it looked like a renaissance fair, but I was unsure. I'm not really familiar with the concept of renaissance fairs, we don't have that in France.
- Brome
C cup in 7th grade! Most girls in my college aren't C cups. Cool corset though. Yes, I do believe it should be given more credit than the lady herself.
- Emilio_M
There's a lot of great detailing on it. If you look close in the first photo, near the point toward her crotch it says "Uncharted". And I am gaga over those rivets, especially in the back photo I linked to above.
- Admiral Anika
Having seen them live... I'm torn guessing between C and D. Probably just C because those corset things really push your shit up (or so I've hears) and the leather is really thick. She was a really nice little girl. Really.
- Adrian
I think Adrian wanted to lick them. ROFL
- Admiral Anika
R U kidding me!!!!??? SOoooo not my type. This is more my type: http://www.flickr.com/photos... THAT chick was hot. Err.. you're hot too. :)
- Adrian
Ok, for one, I just did an experiment, and pushing stuff up did not result in mammoth proportions. Although Janet's testimony was enough for me, I'll try to remember to ask one of the techs the next time I'm in Mammography. Since I'm not working Monday, this convo may well be dead by then. With that said, I do need to admit that this is the only cool corset I have ever heard of.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
I can think of someone I would love to see in a similar corsete.. she knows who she is..
- Uncle CW™
If by corset you mean the thing getting in the effin way then yes what corset
- jamar78
I would have to agree with the estimate of her being a C, since I would be bigger than that if I wore a corset, and I am a rather full D
- April Russo (app103)
Holy Shit, Apparently everyone else is more interested in the breasts than they are in the corset Anika hahah, She's Hot!
- Gordon Swaby
Damn Leather! You were wayyyy late on this thread, I was getting very concerned, ;)
- Janet
Gordon, don't laugh. It makes me sad that some people can be so vapid. I had considered blurring or editing her boobs, but then you miss the point of "Treasure Chest" on each breast, which I just think is awesome in the detail work on the corset. I do wonder how it felt/smelled after a day in the hot fair sun.
- Admiral Anika
i hope she powdered up sufficiently before she put that on. otherwise once she took it off she was red and sweaty and wrinkledy and pruny looking under.
- B. Hatin
Kaia, that's what I was thinking. Here I'm looking at my cleavage after a day of half-assed gardening. I'm just wearing a tank top. To top it off, I was funky after yesterday and I wore a light cotton top. I am also remembering back to spending 4 hours in a club wearing a corset (I did that 6 nights a week) and how GROSS it was afterwards.
- Admiral Anika
my, would you look at those awesome rivets!
- Cee Bee
Gee, Cee... I was just about to say how riveting the images were.
