Bacon Fest

Tonight, Philadelphia celebrates one of its favorite sons: Mr. Six Degrees of Separation himself, Kevin Bacon.  Yes, it’s the second annual Bacon Fest!  Starting at 5:00 pm, head over to The Oval (right in front of the art museum) to eat lots of bacon, play bacon games, watch a cooking demonstration, fill the bacon space capsule (a real thing), dancing…all capped off with a viewing of the fabulous Mr. Bacon in Apollo 13 at 9:00 pm. 

The only thing that could make any of this more awesome?  Bacon shoes, of course.

These bacon flip flops are perfect for a summer evening enjoying the many wonders of bacon, wouldn’t you say?  And I prefer the black straps, but you could also choose pink, blue, or orange—your choice from Café Press for $18.

The Sharkz B Work Boot by MOZO is perfect if you have a job that requires you to stand most of the day, and if you enjoy bringing the image of bacon with you to work.  Side ventilation, a rubber sole, gel insoles, a customizable fit… great for walking around for several hours at Bacon Fest too!  Find them at Amazon for $51-$75, depending on size.  (Whole sizes only.)

Oh goodness, this high top is covered in bacon!  Strips and strips of crispy bacon.  A veritable buffet of bacon.  I feel like they should give you extra free bacon if you wear these.  Yours for $45 from Etsy seller Custom Hi Tops.

So let us hail the humble pig, provider of bacon!

These slippers will keep your little piggies warm, that’s for sure!  Look at their little noses and ears… and they look so squishy soft!  They’re on a base of one-inch thick foam, so every step will be in comfort.  Great to wear while you watch the movie, eh?  Yours for $25 from BunnySlippers.com.

Are you ready?  The go get your bacon (and Bacon) on!
