“The Slim Aarons of sarcasm since 2018.”
New issues every Thursday.
What is this?
In short, The Bacon Beacon is the leading satire publication for people who know.
In long, The Bacon Beacon came to our editor in a fever dream after a 301 day juice cleanse in the wilds of Peru. Thinking back, it could have been Malaria, but here we are. The Bacon Beacon is a satire magazine for anyone who reads Vogue, Harper’s, Town & Country, or any other aspirational glossy sold at the airport next to an inexplicably large bag of Chex Mix.
While snarky at times, all we say is with love; our editor has been hoarding such publications since her parents sent her away to sleep-away camp, which was very early, but she’s not mad. She’s fine. She is psyched when you come out to her stand up show, Add Bacon Comedy, and when her writing appears on or in The Onion, McSweeneys, Reductress, Above Average, Funny or Die, BlackBook magazine, MTV, and Comedy Central. She has also worked at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, SNL, and Bravo, but is tired of talking about it.
Who is this for?
People read fashion and lifestyle magazines but know in their heart the content makes them feel a little bit sad
People who like comedy, satire, humor, et al
People who know the term et al
People who like the Onion, but also are slaves to consumerism (pretty sure that’s everyone?)
Why me?
When I say “our editor,” that’s who I mean, me, somewhat ironically because how pretentious is that? And really, because I’m attempting to parody the fancypants magazines I was obsessed with breaking into as a young writer in NYC in the aughts, and there’s always some stupidass letter from a smug-as-hell looking editor.
