Last night at Sauce Spirits and SoundBar in Minneapolis, I participated in the MN Beard-Off. I had a fake beard and it was made of bacon, of course. The bacon was sealed and sewed to a wire-frame. Credit for the bacon beard production goes to my friend, Cousin Pauly!

I was in the freestyle category and was one of 3 finalists!

The event was terrifically awesome and I suggest you check out these photos by my friend Alex and the MN Beard-Off website!

A special thanks to all who cheered for me at the event, and took pictures, and bought whiskey. It was great to meet so many cool people!

And yes, that is our friend Andy Sturdevant over her right shoulder.

Yes, this is me. And yes, I’m about to blog about it.

Whoever invented bacon + chocolate was a really smart person. Smarter than Al Gore and whoever invented sliced bread. Seriously. You cannot go wrong with chocolate-covered bacon, bacon chocolate bars, bacon-sundaes, bacon-covered and chocolate-dipped anything (tits?). So every now and again I go to Vosges.com and look at their Bacon + Chocolate section. And I drool. And I wonder if anyone will ever buy me the Bacon + Chocolate gift box. Because someone should. I might even prance around in a bacon bra if they did.

In case you were starting to wonder, “Yes, but, when are we getting to the tits?” … I present you with the Bacon Bra 2.0! This bacon bra is the inspiration for this site, the start to my adventures in bacon-clothing, and a way to show off my tits on the internets. (Slightly kidding about the last part).

You may ask, “Formica Dinette, why ever did you make such a thing as a bacon bra?” The answer is threefold. It begins with my love of bacon. I mean, intense, sultry love of bacon. Then there’s the previous bacon bras. Google it. Raw bacon bras. That’s just not appetizing. Who wants to eat raw bacon off someone’s tits and then get some kind of salmonella (is that from eggs?) or raw meat poisoning or whatever one gets from licking raw meat off breasts. The final reason was the challenge. I said I wanted to make a cooked bacon bra. Someone on twitter said I couldn’t do it. There’s nothing that gets me motivated quite like a challenge. So, there you have it. The bacon bra was born.

And if you’re curious as to why it’s Bacon Bra 2.0, well that’s because I made a first attempt. It was pretty terrible. I had to hold it up and the picture was awful and I’d just been to the gym and there was grease all over… well let’s just say it wasn’t a success. But that didn’t stop me from putting it on THE INTERNETS.

So that’s the story on the bacon bra. There’s more bacon wearables to come. There will be something coming up at the end of this month and then I’m hoping to start work on the bacon dress and have it ready for my B.Y.O.Bacon party in April.

Hugs & Kisses,
