Photo Recap: Taco the Art Show **UPDATE**

National Taco Day has sadly passed but what a glorious day it was! The event, hosted by the talented Mandee Rae, was instantly jam packed with taco appreciators from around the city!






Were you unable to make it or just want to remember the day fondly while craving tacos for the second time this week; below are photos of just some of the incredible Taco art pieces the night had to offer:








Though I was blown away by all the unique artwork, the Shark & Fish Taco's painting (above) was a personal favorite, as were the sparkle tacos (below)-- sparkle tacos!! Towards the end of the evening we raffled off the Giant Crocheted Taco (by me, duh!) & the winner seemed genuinely thrilled! I hope she is using it as a pillow somewhere as I type.







Thanks again to Mandee Rae for organizing & curating such a delicious, amusing & good timezzzz event!

Happy National Taco Day Eve!

Tonight families long seperated by miles and time will come together to celebrate National Taco Day Eve by taking turns placing their heads in the ceremonial paper bag to do the National Taco Day dance.  It is a matter of great pride and civic duty that all Americans take part in this national celebration to celebrate our taco independence and ensure future generations are able to do the same. 

Happy National Taco Day Eve. 

mmm...tacos.

Taco loves hot dog

I've always felt that there are only two ways to have dinner each night. Either it's going to be taco night or it's going to be hot dog night. Those are the most American of meals that complete my balanced diet. Jon Belushi had little chocolate donuts, I have hot dogs and tacos. Not only do they combat the hunger in your stummy, but they also make a cute couple. You can tell when you put a hot dog next to a taco that sparks will surely fly. In honor of National Taco Day, I plan to let their love reign. You too, can support their teenage passion. Let us unite and disregard all the naysayers of this relationship.

Taco Treasures!

Where better to buy all your taco related items for October 4th than Etsy?


I will most likely be buying the Taco Kitty Tote for myself, so cute!
