My idea for the Zombiewalk costume was trashy-housewife-caught-unawares-by-zombies-while-making-breakfast, so I bought a nightie, a robe, dodgy-looking fuzzy slippers and hair curlers. I also bummed a cigarette from

arashikami, but it didn't last very long into the walk.

I ended up looking like the landlady from Kung Fu Hustle. Haaaa! But several people actually came up to me and told me how much they liked my costume, which pleased me no end.

And lesson learned: Fake blood is really sticky, and it hurts when you have to peel bloodstained fabric off your skin. It's basically an impromptu cold wax. Also, DO NOT GET ANY DOWN YOUR ASSCRACK. I'm just sayin'.

Took some photos; not as many as I did during the Plunderathon, but then the Plunderathon was an all-day event.

Me during prep, gunk-free and with hair partially rolled up.

Hair fully rolled up. Aren't I HAWT? Oh yeah, you'd totally do me in those curlers. Don't try to deny it.

Zombie Angel of DEATH. That's an actual dead bird strapped to her chest, by the way. Memorable quote: "It's OK if you want to touch my dead bird. It's really soft, but also really sticky."

Another TOTALLY AWESOME costume.

Talena as a zombie. BOOBS.

Melissa as a zombie. Damn, that's a lot of grey make-up.

A Zomblet! Yeah, zombies can apparently breed. Whodathunk?

That dude on the far right? I met him via my friend Todd back in January. It was wacky running into him again. And he totally knows my friend Jessica. Reedies, man. Fuckin' Reedies.
