And here is my short list of suggestions for Seattle folks:
1. Making a trip to Display & Costume in Northgate will be worth your while. Get some whitening face paint, black grease paint, bruise colored eyeshadows and black eyeliner to start with.
2. Oatmeal and liquid latex works wonders.
3. Food coloring and corn syrup makes convincing blood, but sticky. However, it is also tasty.
4. It looks great to tease out you hair if it is long. Sprinkle some leaves in it!
5. Value Village - but I'm sure it's hardly necessary to mention that.
Zombie Costume for Men-
What you need: Old wool blazer (mens), Scissors, Black turtleneck, Black Pants, Hair spray/Coloured hair spray, Face paint (white, grey and black)
What you do:
1. Go to a local thrift store and find an old men's wool blazer.
2. Hack holes in the sweater (carefully) with a pair of scissors, then machine wash the sweater (the washing will increase the size and wear of the holes).
3. Wear and old black turtleneck under the hacked up sweater, along with and old pair of pants (you can also hack up the pants and turtleneck if you wish)
4. Use gel or hair spray to tangle up their hair, or add colored sprays.
5. Start painting the face using white for a base coat and adding grays and blacks to it to get a mottled effect. Apply dark colors around or under the eyes.
6. Options Using fake costume skin you can add layers of skin hanging off face and neck. Fake blood can also add creepy touches to a zombie costume.
For Gals.....remember you can be a dead version of a receptionist, cheerleader, nurse jogger etc.
check out: http://www.zombiepinups.com just for fun!
Be creative with your costume, but remember that you will be the most convincing looking if you look like an un-dead version of who you normally are.
How's that for brain food!

"Traditionally, Zombies are more tropical"
I was poking around the Austin Goodwill site, and that line stuck out to me. I guess in the first zombie movies (where the zombies were created as a result of Voodoo), that was true. And a lot of Lucio Fulci's zombie films took place in exotic tropical locations. Like the one with the underwater zombie/shark fight. I still wonder how they did that. So I guess, "traditionally, Zombies ARE more tropical".Looks like I'll be making it to the Ballard walk today, after all. Zombie walk in the afternoon, run home, eat dinner (brains, of course), change into super-bunny costume, head out the Twilight. Is there any better way to spend the day? If there is, I bet it's illegal.
And did your notice that Sci-Fi network is debuting the new 'Return of the Living Dead: Rave from the Grave' movie at 9pm tonite? It's preceded by (my personal favorite ROTLD movie) Return of the Living Dead 3, Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis, and Day of the Dead. What a day to be a zombie!

A picture that can stimulate hunger is a delight!
Dear Cleo,As Headmaster of the house it is my job to find webpages that our residents can view and enjoy any news, blogs, arguments of products concerning the Undead. There is such a bias against us that we have little to work with. And the fact that most of the folks who live here cannot even operate a computer, let alone use tools to destroy barricades to obtain food, means that it falls to me to choose carefully the quality of the sites they are to have access to.
Which brings me to the point of your 'gang lunch' photo. Every one of our residents, and a few guests, who have seen that photo (I downloaded the enlarged version and made it our Windows wallpaper) become ravenous and instantly hit the streets in search of fresh brains.
While this may seem like a compliment to your photography, and I guess it is, it is also a minor complaint about it. You see we have recently lost 2 mail carriers, a garbage man, 4 police, a door-to-door salesman and a living relative to one of our residents. This is quite unworkable for us in such a small town.
I'm sorry but I had to delete the photo and cannot 'bookmark' your page. It is too powerful. Those of use who were us among the living have no self control and your image is just too strong a stimulant for hunger!
Sincerely,
Mr. Rick O’Mortace - Headmaster of the Zombie Halfway House

Should I buy a great wedding ring...
A question I would like your opinion on. Guys, do you believe it is expected to go all out and spend months of your income on an engagement ring to make your girl happy?Girls, does the cost of the ring actually increase how much love you feel for your man?
I dont have a insane amount of money but the ring I suggested for my GF the other day she said was to small so that was disappointing and now I don't know what to do. So, what's your thoughts on this?
April 12 2011, 07:07:09 UTC 1 year ago
Re: Should I buy a great wedding ring...
A ring shows a girl the investment you think she is to you and how you measure as a "provider" in a classic sense...errr...completely unrelated to zombies.... LOL
