I honestly can't believe I haven't updated this blog since the beginning of December. I'm so lazy, it's a wonder I don't just microwave my bacon in the morning. It took Matthew Stroul from Austin, TX to kick me into gear when he sent me pics of his new tattoo. His new SKULLS & BACON tattoo!
How awesome, right? I love it. Now if I ever decide to get one I'll just be an imitator, Matthew is the original.
While I'm here, I can't not post about Archie McPhee's new, amazing bacony wonder - Bacon Toothpaste! 
They say it's the perfect way to keep your teeth and gums healthy while coating your mouth with the delicious flavor of smoky meat. 2.5 oz of potent paste for only $4.50, but they do have a video warning bacon-lovers not to eat the toothpaste, no matter how enticing that idea may be.
That's it for now. Hopefully someone is still reading this blog after my self-indulgent hiatis.

Food Lover Temporary Tattoos
In case you are not the sort to permanently tattoo your body with tantalizing bacon tattoos, you can still be the center of attention with these interesting temporary tats, from none other than the awesomest store, Archie McPhee. In classic tattoo style, each hard-cover book contains eighteen non-toxic temporary tattoos for only $7.95. 
Can't go wrong with temporary bacon and skull tattoos. My favorites are the bacon heart and the eat or die skull.

Bunch O' Bacon Links
Keeping you abreast of this week's bacon news!
J&D Foods, of Bacon Salt and Baconnaise fame, have commissioned an artist to make a life-size bust of Kevin Bacon entirely out of bacon. The bust is being auctioned off on Ebay starting today and the proceeds go to charity. "Bacon Kevin Bacon has been well-lacquered and will stay tasty for generations to come."

Killer Burger in Portland, OR, opens their doors with their Peanut-Butter-Pickle-Bacon-Burger, a sweet-and-savory peanut-butter-pickle-bacon concoction, which smears a sweet housemade peanut sauce on top of a dill pickle. I'd try it!

The Bacon Tattoo trend keeps chugging along with this masterpiece.

If you're in my area and looking for a place to imbibe and snarf some bacon, The Whiskey Brooklyn has a "Bowl O' Bacon" on the menu.

IHOP jumps on the bacon-bandwagon with their new Bacon 'N Beef Burgers. The Bacon 'N Beef Cheeseburger, Bacon 'N Beef Bacon & Egg Cheeseburger, Bacon 'N Beef Bacon Cheeseburger, Bacon 'N Beef Mega Mushroom Burger and Monster Bacon 'N Beef Cheeseburger have hickory-smoked bacon blended right into the beef so there's delicious with bacon flavor in every bite.

Sending hate packages of bacon to American mosques is not an acceptable use of bacon.

Clearance Sale at Torrid.com
Torrid.com is having one of their 50% off all clearance items sale. Their clearance stuff goes pretty quickly and this sale is only until Jan. 19th. When I say items sell out fast during Torrid's clearance sale, I am not kidding. Last time I had the sugar skull wallet in my shopping cart and by the time I checked out it was sold out. I've already got my order in, here's some of what I picked up:
Black Tattoo Print Skull Cosmetics Case
Black Sugar Skulls Lace Trimmed Brief
You gotta check out a close-up on these...HOTT!
Hematite Skull Cutout Necklace
(ok, not on sale but I had to have it)

Permanent Bacon (Part 3)
It's been a slow couple of weeks for bacon news so I figured I'll post some bacon tattoos that I've seen kicking around the internet. If you missed my previous installments of bacon tats, you can find them here and here.
I really love this one but you kinda have to look past the dirty feet.

Sin in Linen™
I'm not sure why I haven't done a post featuring Sin in Linen™ products before because they are exactly what I am looking for when shopping for bedding. Every time I find great quality skull sheets and pillows I get all excited. Plus there's animal prints and tattoo designs, all right up my alley. Sin in Linen™ founder Sandy Glaze has done what I only dream of, when searching for bed sheets, she found precious little product to match her style and sensing she was not alone, she launched her own line. Here are some of my favorites but check the website for other awesome stuff.
Skull Star "Back in Black"
This Tough and Sweet skull and star print comes in sheet sets, pillowcases, duvet covers, shams and even a shower curtain! 
Skull Star "Prettier in Pale Pink"
Bonus! The pale pink version is currently on sale and for amazing prices!
Skull pillowcases and throw pillows
Jolly Roger Hand & Bath Towels
These are just fantastic and the black ones would look perfect in my bathroom!
White Skull Curtain Panel 48" x 84"
One of the very few Skull Curtains I've seen and they're cute!
I especially love the duvet covers. I won't get rid of my beloved down comforter but there's no way I can have a white comforter on my bed so duvet covers are key. Thanks Sandy for giving people like me options!

Bacon Tattoos
Nothing proclaims your undying love for bacon more than permanently tattooing it on your body. I've come across some great bacon tattoos (and some not so great ones) that I've compiled for our collective enjoyment. Click on the pics to go to the websites where you may be able to find more information on these works of art.
I think this one is my favorite. 
**UPDATE!: Tat owner identified! The Hamzinger found his bacon armband here and I gotta give him props as this is one of my very favorite bacon tattoos. He is a member of the awesome & funny cover band The Misfats.

Probably the most famous breakfast tattoo ever:
There are a few more but I'll save those for part 2. If you find any bacon or pork related tattoos that you think I should feature, please email me the link at skullsandbacon (at) gmail.com.

Skulls for Young’uns at Company Kids®
Company Kids® has some great skull items that would make terrific gifts for any little boy or girl that's into skulls. They did an especially nice job on the girls stuff because 1) it's in purple, my favorite color and 2) the boys items are pirate-y which is not my favorite skull motif. Plus, it's always great to see pretty skull things that little girls can use as I don't think there was anything like it when I was a kid. From what I can remember, when I was young, skulls were reserved for bikers and metal heads. I'm happy to see times have changed.
Explorer Rolling Duffle (Heart Skull) 
Explorer Backpacks (Heart Skull)
Explorer Lunch Bag (Heart Skull) 
Heart Skulls Flannel Nightgown
Skulls & Hearts Beach Towel
Skull Hearts and Tattoo Heart Bean Bag Covers - clearance $12.99
Skull and Crossbones Fleece Robe 
Skull and Cross Bones Rug 
Most of the Company Kids® stuff is monogrammable and there's more than what I've posted here. If you do a search for skull on their website you'll see more goodies.

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!
