Chocolate Louboutin: Dallas chocolatier Andrea Pedraza is selling chocolate high heels for Valentine's Day. They look like Christian Louboutin shoes and sell for between $30 and $55. The shoes are meant to be stocked with more candy not worn.
Beauty Is Skin Deep: The 'Dating Police' have been patrolling singles events for BeautifulPeople.com. The dating site only allows attractive people to join and attend events. Managing Director Greg Hodge tells Mashable "beauty screeners" keep unattractive singles from attending events. "One bad apple spoils the bunch. We are no different except a bad apple in our case is simply an unattractive one. It is not uncommon for members to bring less than beautiful guests which upsets the beauty balance and, naturally, members as well."
Knight In Shining Armor: Some White Castle restaurants are offering candlight dinners for Valentine's Day. Special menus, tableside service and fancy decorations are just a few of the ways the restaurant plans to celebrate February 14th. Those, who are interested in dining with the chain should call their local White Castle to make reservations.
Sexual Chocolate: Men from all over the world are trying to buy an aphrodisiac-laced Valentine's Day chocolate. Former food scientist Hanna Frederick says her candy is fortified with Tongkat Ali, a potent herb from Southeast Asia that stimulates testosterone production in men. She says it takes 3 days of eating the chocolate before a man will notice a difference in his system. "We are not trying to create a substitute for Viagra. This is just a bit of passionate fun." Frederick says men, who overdose on her chocolates experience insomnia, anxiety and restlessness.
Coke Head: Natasha Harris' family is blaming Coca Cola for her death. The New Zealander had a heart attack after downing 10 liters of Coke a day for years. Her intake was equal to more than twice the recommended daily limit of caffeine and two pounds of sugar (11 times the recommended sugar intake).
Coroner David Crerar says, "I find that, when all of the available evidence is considered, were it not for the consumption of very large quantities of Coke by Natasha Harris, it is unlikely that she would have died when she died and how she died. The amount of Coke Harris drank ruined her children's teeth, with at least one of her kids being born without enamel on their teeth.''
Harris' partner, Chris Hodgkinson, found her on the toilet gasping for air. He says, ''She had no energy and was feeling sick all the time ... She would get up and vomit in the morning. She would get moody and get headaches if she didn't have any Coke and also feel low in energy.''
Coca Cola says, "The Coroner acknowledged that he could not be certain what caused Ms Harris' heart attack. Therefore we are disappointed that the Coroner has chosen to focus on the combination of Ms Harris' excessive consumption of Coca-Cola, together with other health and lifestyle factors, as the probable cause of her death. This is contrary to the evidence that showed the experts could not agree on the most likely cause".
ERY Smart Phone: Vertu is selling a $9,600 Android smartphone. It features:

Sexy Foods To Boost Libido from fitbee.com
Chocolate: This sensual sweet does more than just make your tongue happy; it also contains a compound called phenylethylamine, which is linked to the release of endorphins, those natural feel-good chemicals that flood our bodies after a workout. Interestingly, though, research from the University of Guelph, which examined hundreds of studies on potential aphrodisiacs, found that even though people believe their sexual desire increases after eating chocolate.
Coffee: Coffee breath may not be that alluring, but java does possess some sexy properties. A study from Southwestern University found that the female sex drive perks up after a little joe, which stimulates the part of the brain that regulates arousal.
Eggs: These are a reliable source of L-arginine, an amino acid that's been shown to be effective in treating erectile dysfunction. And they're not just for breakfast.
Peaches: The creamy texture, beautiful color, and summery smell are definitely attractive, but these are just bonuses: It turns out that peaches' high vitamin C count makes them something of a fertility drug for your guy.
Saffron: A gorgeous, bright-yellow spice, saffron comes from the crocus flower and has a mild, delicate flavor that's popular in Spanish and other Mediterranean dishes. Researchers have found that saffron lives up to its reputation of improving sexual performance (worth its expense at about $11 per gram).
Steak: Beef has loads of zinc and iron, as well as plenty of satisfying protein and B vitamins. Plus, there's just something so tantalizing about the sound and smell of steak sizzling on the grill--it's like foreplay you can eat!
Watermelon: This juicy favorite has an unusually high level of an amino acid called citrulline, which your body uses to pump out another amino acid, arginine, that's related to vascular health.
