It's Kevin Bacon Wednesday!!!

You know you missed it...

Bacon scented soy candle (I'm not sure about this...would it smell delicious like a delicious greasy spoon....or would it smell like that greasy spoon that nobody ever goes to ~ the one where your Aunt Helen's best friend's husband ordered fries there one time and there was a dead rat in the basket? Either way, I know just who's getting one for Christmas this year):

"Roses For Kevin Cycle Cap":



(via All One Word)

Bacon and Eggs crocheted jellyfish!



(I can't crochet and I can't knit but seeing Needle Noodles Shop makes me want to learn...really bad.)

Also....I have a real, honest to goodness website now! You can find it here. It's a bit more professional looking....I hope. I think. I'm crossing my fingers, anyway. (feel free to link to it to your heart's content.)

P.S. You look really nice today :)

Kevin Bacon Wednesday!!! Er...Sunday!! Yay, it's Kevin Bacon Day!!

So, I did a search for "Kevin Bacon" on Etsy and found this:



And I was all, "huh? What the eff does this have to do with Kevin Bacon?" But the description and the title pretty much explain it ~ It's the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Necklace." The shop owner says, " I shook hands with Jason Statham, Jason Statham was in Snatch with Brad Pitt, Brad Pitt was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon." So I guess if you wear the necklace, you're within six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Works for me. (I'd get it but I'm totally already within six degrees of Kevin Bacon.)

Then I searched for "Kevin." Did you guys know that there's a Jonas Brother named Kevin? Yeah...that was like 90 pages of Jonas Brothers themed merchandise hell. Guess which Kevin is NOT going to be featured on Kevin Bacon Day? But guess which Kevin is ~ this one!



It's Kevin, the amoeba magnet! He can be found at Chaotic Happy's shop , which might just be the greatest name for a shop ever.

Then, if you're truly obsessed with bacon and just need to surround yourself with the essence of bacon all of the time, hang these all over your house:



Bacon air fresheners! To freshen your house with the really fresh smell of...bacon. Weird. You can find them at Archie McPhee.

And finally...and this might freak some of you out but I really, really love this painting (although it's too freaky for me to even have a print of it hanging in my house...I'd get up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water or something and see it out of the corner of my eye and be all, "AhhhhhhARGGGHAhhhhhhAieeeee!" and trip over my cat and break my leg or my nose or some such nonsense).




It's the "Study after Velazquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X" by Francis Bacon (the painter, not the philosopher). Totally scary movie creepy, but I just can't stop staring at it.

Kevin Bacon Wednesday!

I know, I know...this is rapidly becoming "The Kevin Bacon Show" instead of "The Lola Show." It's just...I get distracted, you know? Anyway, for today's Kevin Bacon Wednesday I present this picture of Kevin Bacon:




And these pictures of my wedding bouquets...which I totally made by myself...which cost me a grand total of...um...I can't really remember but it was definitely less than $10...which Kevin Bacon would see if he decided to come to my wedding...which he is totally invited to...which is why my wedding bouquets are featured on Kevin Bacon Wednesday:











(I used sheets of music for the paper flowers ~ 50 cents for an entire book at a church thrift store...the dried flowers were 79 cents for a gigantic bag at the Salvation Army...the vintage millinery flowers and pink feathers were also 79 cents for a gigantic bag, also found at the Salvation Army...the pink fabric was left over from some jewelry displays I made...the lace was thrifted and I'm pretty sure it was 10 cents...the pink and green acrylic beads I've had forever...the wire that I used for the mini acrylic bead sprays that are mixed in with the flowers was actually some unused picture wire that I had left over from an art show...there are some mini tissue paper flowers mixed in there, too...I think I paid about $3 for a handful of those at the Goodwill...so, you know...less than ten bucks for one bridal bouquet and 8 bridesmaids bouquets)


And finally, this lovely interview by Nicole Burron for her brand new fashion blog. This also belongs in a Kevin Bacon Wednesday post because I'm willing to bet Nicole has seen a Kevin Bacon movie.

Everything always leads back to Kevin Bacon...always.

Kevin Bacon Wednesday

So...um...I found this today:




Yeah. Um....anyway, there's also this:



Which I now want to write on every hand dryer I ever see except I'm not really into vandalism...but if I were, that would totally be all over the place.




Wendi Winn got this cool bacon key fob that she stuffed with bacon bits so that her dog could always find her keys for her...now I'm waiting for her to post about how her dog found her keys and ate them all. Keys are delicious when they're flavored like bacon...mmmmm.


That video was super weird, right? I was going to look up some Kevin stuff but I just keep re-watching that video over and over and over again and I can't really focus on anything else except those weird dudes singing about bacon.

Kevin Bacon Wednesday!

Yeah!!! Featuring, your host, this awesome picture of Kevin Bacon:



Guest starring, in no particular order:



Comic Book with bacon characters (via Mr. Toast Store)




"Bacon is like a little hug from God" Print (via Nicodemus Green)




Super cute koala bear named Kevin...although, to be fair, all koala bears are super cute.




This is Kevin Hillstrom. If you Google "Kevin," this guys picture comes up and the caption underneath says "Who is Kevin Hillstrom?" His name is Kevin so he's automatically in, but sadly, I have no idea who Kevin Hillstrom is. Also, if you ask yourself "Who is Kevin Hillstrom?" make sure you do it in a really overdramatic voice, like it's a burning question because for real, it sounds better that way.

And finally



Bacon Mints, also known as "The Grossness." But you know, if you need some grossness you can buy it here

Kevin Bacon Wednesday

Apparently successful crafty type blogs are supposed to have themes and how-to's and regular postings and blue plate specials and...um....I'm not really sure what else. I don't actually have a successful crafty type blog...yet. When I do, it will live here. And every Wednesday I will highlight things having to do with Kevin Bacon, guys named Kevin, bacon, and/or things that are 6 degrees or less from Kevin Bacon...because it's Kevin Bacon Wednesday.

T-Rex dreaming of bacon card from MeganLeeDesigns




Kevin Federline (first Kevin that comes up when you google "Kevin.")




Super awesome breakfast soap (featuring bacon) from Dirty Ass Soaps


This concludes today's chapter of Kevin Bacon Wednesday. Also, if you came here from my other blog and you're wondering why on earth I would need a second blog...it's because a.)crafty stuff doesn't really fit on the other blog and b.) I don't think Oprah Winfrey is ever going to let me on her show so I'm starting my own...sort of.
