Eve's Addiction Skull Jewelry

I know it's not difficult to find skull jewelry on the interwebs but you probably already know that I value quality and affordability. I'm a big fan of Eve's Addiction, they have a great little collection of silver skull jewelry that fits the bill.

I already have the necklace and earrings pictured below. I wear the earrings almost every day, they never tarnish are are strong and sturdy after over a year of use. And I always get compliments on the necklace.

Sterling Silver Skull Leverback Earrings - $29


Sterling Silver CZ Skeleton Necklace - $38



The rest of this stuff is on my wishlist, ESP the skull keychain. My birthday is coming soon...

Stainless Steel Skull Keychain - $28


Sterling Silver CZ Huggy Skull & Crossbones Earrings - $38


Pave CZ Skull & Crossbones Dog Tag Pendant (Engravable!) - $48


Johnny's Pave CZ Pirate Skull & Crossbone Pendant - $38

Bacon Sausages

In keeping with the sausage theme, Mr. Dave from the Ridiculous Food Society of Upstate New York has been on a bacon kick of late and keeping me quite entertained and intruiged! His newest labor of love is Bacon Sausages, so new that he hasn't even tried them himself yet!


A few days ago he made some tasty looking Bacon Wrapped Pork Belly with Jalepenos.



Candied Bacon Brioche Buns with Pecans and Pistachio. OMG, I really need one of these now!


The wonderous Ultimate Peanut Butter and Bacon Sandwich.



I'm keeping my eye on Mr. Dave, he's a real innovator.

Russian Sausage Art

I realize that Sausage is not Bacon but I feel the need to give any Meat Art it's due. Can't really find any other info on this interesting Sausage Art other than:

1) It's Russian
2) It's edible and
3) Supposedly anyone can just walk up and eat the artwork

If you find any other information please pass it along!







Mmmmmmm.....Edible Mona Lisa.

Holy Bacon, Skull Jewelry and a Tat!

I've been a little out of sorts the last couple of days and lax on posting but in the meantime, I've gotten a couple of emails that I had to share. It made me really happy to get your emails, thanks guys! With the lack of comments sometimes it makes me wonder if this thing is on.

Ivan is an artist and sent me a pic of this fantastic Holy Bacon lino-cut which would look totally cool hanging in any kitchen.


Angela sent me a link to this very cool Dia De Los Muertos Necklace from the Sundance Catalog.


Tina received this skull charmer from her hubby.


She also made this awesome skull pin! You crafty chick, you!


Helen from Marmalade Cake Company sent me a pic of her breakfast tattoo complete with bacon!

Skull Door Knobs & Wreaths

Every Halloween there are a few new Halloweeny decor items that are neat. While lots of skull stuff I keep up year round, there's some items that really work best when you're entertaining. If you're having a party this year, Halloweenexpress.com has got some intruiging props, decorations and costumes too.

Spooky Scenes™ Sofa Cover - $22.99
Nylon blend. Fits 74"-96" sofas. I really like this, I know it's a bit cheesy but it's not expensive and I've never seen a scary Sofa Cover before!



Skull Doorknob Cover - $3.29
squishy cover fits standard size door. If this fits tightly on the doorknob I would use this all year long.



Skull Wreath With Black Leaves - $18.99
If I had a front door that faced the street this wreath would be up all year too. I used to have one like this but I used it til it died.


The Mob Torch Stand - $569.79
This ghastly torch stand has 4 antiqued skulls mounted on a 40'' tall ornate metal base and includes 110-volt bulbs. OK, so this is quite expensive but it is kinda neat, no?

Baconnaise - Launch Party!

So you may have already heard that the fine people over at Bacon Salt are launching a new product, Baconnaise, in a few weeks.


I'm already a huge fan of bacon and mayo, so I'm positive I'm going to love Baconnaise.

If you live in Seattle, you may want to check out their product launch, it sounds like it's going to be a blast! MAYONNAISE WRESTLING in Seattle at Heaven's Nightclub in Pioneer Square on Thursday, October 30th starting at 7pm.

Free BLT's, $3 tequila and Mitch Morgan's (the drink that inspired Bacon Salt - Maker's Mark whiskey with a bacon garnish), and a no-holds barred wrestling match between a giant slice of bacon and a giant jar of mayonnaise. Undercards include their intern Matt dressed as Bacon Boy vs. the Seattle Mudhens womens' rugby team, the Seattle Semi-Pro Wrestling League's all-star wrestlers, and The Bacon Girls - all wrestling in a ring filled with 200 gallons of mayonnaise.

A limited number of people can bring their regular, boring jar of mayonnaise and exchange it for a jar of Baconnaise, available in Regular or Lite.



You can read more about it over at the Bacon Salt Blog.

Z Gallerie of Skulls

If you're searching for high-quality skull housewares online, you've undoubtedly run across Z Gallerie. One of the first skull posts for this blog was for their Jeweled Skull Tray. I hadn't looked at the site in a while so when I visited today, I was floored. What am I going to do? I am still recovering from my trip to Target.

Here's some of the items from my new and improved wish list.

Skull Pillow - $49.95

Completely covered in dazzling bling, this Skull Pillow makes you wonder if the shimmering silver and black beads could really be pirate booty.


Glass Skull Candle - $19.95

Hauntedly housed in black glass with a supernatural skull image, these glowing candles radiate a menacing glare. Sold individually.


Beaded Skull Placemat Set of 4 - $87.80

Boasting a thorough coat of black beads with silver beaded skull and crossbones icons in each corner, these placemats are hazardously chic.


Glass Studded Skull Candle - $24.95

The toxically provocative silver studded skull and cross bones candleholder is menacing in black glass, yet surprisingly benign, filled with environmentally friendly soy wax with an enticing blend of tobacco, vanilla and cherry aroma. Once you burn through this candle, you can reuse it as a drinking glass.


Skull Dinner Napkins - Set of 4 - $39.80

A skull and crossbones emblem tantalizes in silver against solid black, providing a serious warning against stains. Cotton fabric is woven with a pattern of subtle diagonal ribs to create a twill and tailored texture


Skull Clock - $34.95

This handsome skull clock is detailed in molded resin with a faux-wood finish, having it take on the real-life appearance of aged oak. Clock is ornamented in bronze detail and is set into the skull.


I couldn't possibly put all of their fabulous skull stuff into one post, so visit their site to see even more. They have really nice (and expensive) Skull & Bones Dinnerware, beaded skull coasters, skull bubble bath, skull hiball and martini glasses, skull & bones wine charms, etc etc. Great Googly Moogly.
