Handcrafted Queen Yuna Chocolate

Figure Skating Queen Kim Yuna celebrated her twenty-fourth birthday on September 5, 2014. In East Asian age reckoning, she is considered to be twenty-five years old, since the day of her birth is counted as one years old as opposed to one day old in the west. In honor of her birthday, handcrafted chocolate of her various signature skating poses and moves were made by Piaf Artisan Chocolatier of Seoul, South Korea, in conjunction with her fan club(s). These sweet treats with her graceful silhouette emblazoned on milk and dark chocolate pieces look absolutely divine. Too delicious to eat. A lovely, elegant gift suited for figure skating royalty. Hope Yuna was able to enjoy them now since she is retired from competitive skating.

Just like the lark in the title of this poem and musical composition, this opening pose gives the impression of a charming skylark about to take flight into the heavens.

Love her smile with this playful, whimsical pose - which is performed near the beginning of her short program to Johann Strauss II's operetta.

Yuna evokes such exquisite emotion in her expression with this lovely, opening pose. Like a prima ballerina.

Such a simple, elegant move - as if she was tracing a figure eight on the ice. A movement inspired from traditional Korean folk dance. This program was a love letter to her people, embracing her cultural heritage.

A lovely opening pose to her Kiss of the Vampire short program. She expresses the right amount of subtle angst in her carriage.

A light and airy opening pose to Send in the Clowns. She evokes such an ethereal quality in her posture and bearing.

One of the best ending poses in a figure skating program. Loved how dramatic and dynamic this movement was.
