SHAVE ICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find a interesting thing to share to all of you!!!!!!!!!

SEE !!!!!!!!!

Do u know what is the man eating?!?!?!?!
maybe you will think it cannot be eaten!!
But IT'S TRUE!!!!!!!!!!





It's a SHAVE ICE!!!!!!!!





A SHAVE ICE is a hawaiian dessert made of crushed or shaved ice,
flavored with brightly colored sugary syrup, usually fruit-flavored.







This one is a "Rainbow," a popular flavor, that consists of three different colors of syrup chosen usually for their color rather than their taste compatibility.
The ice is shaved finely so that the syrup colors are retained longer, providing for a better presentation.





I want to taste one too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is also a connection to YSL's 1978 “Broadway Suit” collection and its references to Afro-American culture.


Black and dark color can give us sophisticated feeling and this can represent the status of women.
