This is the issue Brandon's mom carries around everywhere to show to relatives!

From the Winter 2008 edition of Jewel. 

Brandon returns to modeling, offers ice cream to unsuspecting soda drinker.  From the February 2008 issue of Rare.

This next one was just sent in to us by a big fan out of Longview, Texas.  We didn't even know they had written this one! (She must be a big fan of Brandon's, too, because she underlined his name!)

HOLY CRAP!  Did anyone else notice that this article was written by the Texas author Carolyn Banks?

And, finally, a few of our favorite online reviews:

Here's Erin preparing our super-secret combination of pure, cured bacon and rich chocolate! 
From Austin, Texas Daily Photo:

There's no other way to say it. Chocolate bacon. While my older great nephews shopped for candy using a bucket to choose from hundreds of old-fashioned confections this lady coated bacon with chocolate at the fine confection counter. Big Top Candy Shop also sells traditional shop fountain drinks. I thought it would be a disaster for the nephews, but my niece unwrapped a lollipop for the little one and gave the clerk the wrapper and he sat by me happily while the older boys where given free rein to pick some confections with a little help from mom in deciding the limits of decency. To balance we stopped by Farm to Market Grocery and got organic milk for them. I didn't taste the chocolate bacon, but I think it goes on the list of things I have to try before I die. We've shown Big Top's candies before but we thought they deserved another feature for chocolate bacon!

I see on the WEB that the Big Top folks also own Monkey See, Monkey Do featured here once before. Amusing.

(You REALLY ought to go to this link and play the short audio clip of Finn describing his prize.  He says:  "Hi!  My name is Finn, and I'm at the candy store, and this place is SO COOL.  Everything's candy, and I got a Wii remote, and its a fake Wii remote, and inside there's CAAAAANDY.  *pause*  And this is HEAVEN!" Our best review yet!)
