Obsession with Wearing Bacon?
There are a lot of products out there that allow us to wear bacon. And if it seems a little thin in variety, you can usually find someone who has created their own look. You can find manufactured items to crafty creations to just plain bacon slapped onto oneself. My question in the end is “Where does creativity end and obsession begin?”
Just to show you the BIG PICTURE of this situation, check out the categories of bacon-fashion:

Mike Geno Makes Bacon Into Art
I came across an artist by the name Mike Geno while searching Etsy for bacon-related crafts/art. I was specifically looking for holiday themed and first came to find his Bacon Holiday Postcard, which displays a Christmas Tree made of bacon. I became very intrigued and began to explore more of his creations…
Check out his shop on Etsy to see other bacon-related items, including prints, tree ornaments, and postcards: Bacon.
Don’t miss out on another meaty-themed holiday postcard of his: Tender Moments.
I really like his work. It could really work in a artsy kitchen at home or a hip little restaurant somewhere.
