Im sorry for you all dolce and manolo fans, but this fabrik is designed by MARIMEKKO from FINLAND, im not sure do you know the contry but it is! I am very hurted by this thing, because finland havent co-operated with golce or manolo and havent gave a permission to USE "unikko" fabrik, how rude! I think they arent that amazing designers anymore because they have to use cheep fabrik DESIGNED and CREATED by M A R I M E K K O and now they think they can use the fabrik because they are " creater" than marimekko, how would you feel, if someone uses something you have created and would say " this cant be no lo nger your, im taking it and know it``s my" DOLCE AND MANOLO !STOLED! MARIMEKKO THAT`S NOT LEGUAL! dolce and manolo have to pay marimekko many millions because of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT?

Despicable and unbelievable. I hope as many people as possible will join me in boycott against any Dolce product with this pattern, and against Dolce in general - at least until they confess&apologize, compensate for Marimekko and perhaps withdraw the products with Unikko pattern from the market.

This poppy is Maija Isola's and Maija Isola's alone. Marimekko admirer or not, Dolce & Gabbana fan or not, it's poaching pure and simple. [I know I sound high and mightly; this is so not intended. There's just something about creative plagiarism that makes my head hurt. Now Manolo Blahnik's use of the poppy is something else: his was inspired by the Unikko fabric he stumbled across in Bath, England coupled with a visit to the Hagia Sophia for the heel architecture and shoe construct - file under things that make you go "hmmmm".] Uncool!

Maybe the Manolo has a penchant for the famous California poppy? You can see large prints of it on the walls of the apartments in Season 3 of Project Runway ;) Thirded on the Marimekko!

So I had the butcher cut the turkey in half. One half, I laid atop a bunch of carrots, parsely, and onions, smeared on some olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh garlic, and baked for Thanksgiving dinner. It was the perfect amount of meat and looked very pretty. And only 2.5 hours of baking time! The other half, the butcher cut up into pieces for me, and I froze packages of turkey in my freezer, so later I can defrost just as much as I need, or put it into soup. It all worked out really well.
