Our Bac’n Babe for the month of June, 2009 is Christina Whaley.
She’s friends with our previous BBotM, Belinda Strange, and Christina called us after Belinda asking if she too could adorn our screens… How could we resist. Off went a package of bacon and shirts, and we got this back in return.
What’s better than bacon? You guessed it: more bacon.
We couldn’t be more excited to tell everyone that Bacn.com is joining forces with one of the biggest bacon sites on the Internet: MrBaconpants.com. We’ll be providing all of their on-line store mojo; that’s right, now you can get the “Enjoy Bacon” t-shirt right from Bacn.com. Soon you’ll even be able to get the MrBaconpants.com jewelry line as well.
We’ve been talking with Jason for some time and he’s been so kind with his coverage of us that it just made sense that we work together. Nothin’ but love my man.
We’ll be sending Jason lots of bacon to keep him busy during his Bacon Live video podcast airing weekly. Woohoo!
We were really excited when the folks at Mountain Products Smokehouse sent us a sampler of their great bacon. So much so, that we’ve gone and added it to the site!
Mountain Products Smokehouse is a small smokehouse located in upstate New York and run by Thomas and Katherine Gray. They started it in 1980 and have been making mouthwatering products ever since.
We’re offering up a 3-pack sampler for $29.99 plus shipping & handling. This is some fantastic bacon and we hope you’ll enjoy it.
Bad Decisions, a bar in Baltimore, MD, through a little get together this week called the Bacon and Beer Happy Hour. Clearly, we think they’re on to something.
To be totally honest, we weren’t really thinking of ever having something like a “Bac’n Babe of the Month” section to the site. That is until Belinda Strange emailed us asking if she could participate in our next photo shoot.
You see, all of the models here on Bacn.com are our friends, family and acquaintances here in the Portland, OR area. We know many of them through Twitter and they were all so kind in coming our for our first shoot in February for little else than some free t-shirts and plenty of PBR and pizza.
I don’t even care if this is true, it’s validating enough in theory. And regardless, it’s not like it’s a bad remedy that’ll be un-worth it if it doesn’t work.
Also, who knows, maybe it’s the placebo effect. You feel better just eating bacon in general, so add to when you’re not feeling well, and it’s almost like a cure.
Regardless, someone out there is claiming bacon cures hangovers, and I’m all for it.
What’s the only thing that would make bacon better? That’s easy; more bacon.
This morning we added in support for Bacolicio.us to the Bacn.me URL shortener. Now you can get a shorter link andadd bacon to the mix. You can see an example here. Its really the biggest win-win since the BBBLT.
Here’s the deal folks. We love you and we’re not going to do something lame like make up some fake product we’re not selling and then embarrass you because you decided to forward it on to your friends, etc. Seriously. We’re on your side here.
It has come to our attention that others aren’t as honest as we are. Not only that, they are using bacon as the vessel with which to fool and tease you! We won’t stand for this!
As a public service to the entire bacon community we’re providing the following fake bacon links making their way around on this fine April 1st:
Bacon Fashion: From @lilbutterfly we get bacon fashion on the runway. Now, we’re not even sure if this is real or not but I’m pretty sure its not. Or somebody just has really, really bad taste.
Squeez Bacon: Now this is just gross (hat tip Mr Bacon Pants) … squeezable bacon?! Is there no shame?! This is productized here available at your favorite everything-for-my-geek store ThinkGeek. Now, I know its a joke folks … but $7.99 for squeezable bacon on the Internet? At least make this stuff plausible … that should be listing at $49.99. (Note: the ThinkGeek folks have a long history of loving bacon and kittehs).
Stay tuned to this post and we’ll make sure to keep you apprised of any more slights to the bacon name.
Best of luck today and remember, if you’re reading it on April 1st, somebody is probably messing with you (except for this post; we love you guys).
