The Bacon Bra. Click over to the flickr site and read about how the bacon bra came about.

Bacon, perhaps the ultimate comfort food, is hot right now during the recession. Did you hear about the bacon explosion?

I’m trying to figure out how bacon can get me a new camera, or at least a trip to Australia. Gannett might be able to insert some bacon strips into the Asheville Citizen-Times on weekdays to boost sales. Versant could sell a lifetime supply of bacon to home-buyers to get itself out of bankruptcy. The Biltmore Square Mall should open only bacon-oriented kiosks to bring in more customers (Bacon at Biltmore! promo). Struggling car dealers around town could offer “bacon rebates” to get people into new cars. (Buy a new car and get a rebate of $500 in bacon).

Here is a quote from one of the winners on the popular cooking show Top Chef: "Bacon makes anything taste better." Admittedly tough to argue with, Ash! Thanks for sharing these particular pork strips with all of us.

There is a line in Stephen Colbert’s book about it being sexy if you are a woman on a date to order a side of bacon as dessert. You may be on to something, although I kinda hope not.

That’s freaking disgusting.

Yeesh. Dead pig strips?

I’ll take hairy legs over that any day.

Get me a date with a chick in a bacon bra, and my camera is yours, brutha! Except I’m a bit queezy when it comes to raw pork fat, so could you maybe see to it that it’s cooked first? Although in fairness, it would be only a slight upgrade as my Sony DSC-F828 is now dated. I could offer a concession, though: She doesn’t necessarily have to be in her 20’s, or even very well-endowed. Lettuce, tomato and mayo are pluses.
