Bacon-themed clothing is nothing new, but BaconShirts.com has upped the ante, with Bacon Underpants! Blogadillettes, choose from two themes so far (also available are t-shirts, aprons, and onesies for the tiniest of bacon fans out there):

The “vintage” look has been around long enough to make nearly every college student look like a garage sale.
But there’s “vintage” and then there’s “VINTAGE.”
On July 30th, a pair of Levi’s 201 jeans dating from ~1890 sold for $36,099 on eBay to a guy named “vintboy1″ (pet hypothesis: it was Vin Diesel or Vincent Price). The jeans were found in a mine in California’s Mojave Desert, near the town of Randsburg.
These jeans may bear the world’s oldest skidmarks, and in the back pocket: perhaps the world’s oldest pocket lint and the world’s oldest receipt from a 7-Eleven. Goldminers were fond of Slurpees and not wearing underwear.
Many of us had those cool Hypercolor color-changing T-shirts and shorts in the early 90’s. Apparently Hypercolor is making a comeback.
Time for a whole new generation to learn why we all stopped wearing Hypercolor in the first place.
• Hypercolor toilet seat (because Hypercolor is so very good at revealing ass).
The only detail about the 2007 Wes Anderson film “The Darjeeling Limited” that I didn’t like: the absence of products and movie-related schwag.
I still want a Hotel Chevalier bathrobe, dammit.
Finally - Threadpit has released this cool Darjeeling Limited t-shirt.
I already bought one. I love the design and bright colors.
The bierbauch (which in German literally means “beer belly”) is essentially a camelbak for your stomach, making beer consumption easier than ever. Also from the makers of the bierbauch comes the getraenke büstenhalter– a wine bra, so women can partake in the drinking action. Germans are equal opportunity drinkers!
Buy a bierbauch here for just $34.95.
Last April, British supermarket chain Tesco removed a model of padded bra from their shelves.
It was designed for 7-to-10-year-olds.
A Tesco representative said:
“It is a product designed for girls at that self-conscious age when they are just developing. It is designed to cover up, not flatter, and was developed after speaking to parents.”
Here are two possible answers to many many questions that come to mind.

There is at least one major downside to designer Erik De Nijs’s pants:
“Are you grabbing yourself, or just typing, or both?!?”
Thought I would hate it.
It was surprisingly good:
four stars out of five.
Downey and Paltrow
truly made the movie great.
Will watch it again.
Bonus Round: Iron Man T-Shirt
One of my favorite vendors at this year’s Maker Faire was Oakland-based 57ThirtyThree.
They had a nice selection of stylish print tees and the second I saw it, I had to buy their Shepard Fairey-esque OBAMA Tee (and instantly put it on).
For the remainder of the afternoon at the Faire, I had dozens of people ask me where I got the cool shirt.
Last week’s episode of NBC’s “30 Rock” featured a fictitious reality TV show called “MILF Island” (clip below).
“Holy Hot Mamas!
But who will be the final Mommy You’d Like to . . . you know . . . ?
Twenty MILFs, fifty eighth grade boys, and no rules!
And tonight . . . one winner!
Welcome to MILF Island!”

And NBC has already come through with the goods:
MILF Island T-Shirts!
This week, I bring you two bacon products– one tame; one risqué (and possibly NSFW). CHOOSE YOUR OWN BACON ADVENTURE! (OK, so what if it’s not as complex as those books that were all the rage when I was in elementary school?)
Tame Bacon: “Pocket Bacon”
‘Pocket Bacon‘ is crocheted from red and white yarn can be yours for the low price of $5.00 + S/H. As the artist says, this is “seriously the dumbest thing I have ever made but you guys seem to like it” and “You can use this as a bookmark but other than that I am at a loss, I mean, you SO TOTALLY need this.” Click the image below to order:
Risqué Bacon: The Bacon Bra
The Bacon Bra is quite possibly the strangest application of an uncooked meat product that I’ve seen– well, it comes close (read #31693)– and I’m not sure The Bacon Bra is safe for work, but I’m going to post it anyways, since there’s no nudity or anything. Suffice to say, if you hear your boss approaching, stop reading this page and switch to another tab in your browser until the coast is clear. Or, if you work in the garment industry, perhaps your boss will feel you’ve discovered an entire new line of products. You be the judge.
The good news here is that you can procure a bacon bra at your local supermarket without paying shipping and handling (woman not included; sorry guys). Personally, I’m thinking of creating and patenting the Bacon Jock Strap. Either that or the Bacon Manzier (the Bacon Bro?). Thoughts?

Yesterday was St. Patrick’s day. Which means that today, several of you have whiskey or green beer hangovers. Last night, in a bar, I was astounded to learn that there wasn’t a single Irish person in the room celebrating, and that the majority of the revelers had no clue that we were celebrating a Saint responsible for a snake-free Ireland. And all I wanted to do was smack the next person who asks me if I’m wearing green. I’m tempted to buy this shirt from T-Shirt Hell next year - my rebellion against a holiday whose meaning has become lost in Palo Alto, California.
The time has come for toast, onions, and bacon to get the attention they deserve in children’s stories.
It’s like Hello Kitty with breakfast foods.
If you’re like me and can’t live without Internet access, pick up from ThinkGeek the only known item that both clothes you, and also lets you know when you’re in a WiFi-enabled area. Not bad, for only $29.99… just make sure to take out the battery before you wash it!
(Thanks for the tip, Arian!)
Be separated from Kevin Bacon by only one degree with this nifty t-shirt from NoStar Clothing:
$24 is kind of pricey though. Alternative solution: Buy bacon, fry bacon, tape bacon to grey t-shirt. Remember to eat bacon before washing.
This one is true. Even though we all wish it wasn’t.
In Japan, there are vending machines that sell underwear. Schoolgirls’ underwear. Previously worn and unwashed schoolgirls’ underwear.
Yes - an entire industry of trading-in the day’s underwear for a new pair. And underwear sold with a photo of the underwearer can fetch a higher price. The almighty Snopes has a nice article on this subject, which they report to be true.
