Zombie Month - Let's Be Fashionable!

Okay, I missed a day. Damn! Still in the beginning of the month, too. Ah well, I'm not letting it deter me. I shall continue on. And today I'm continuing on with zombie fashion, because even though you may be undead doesn't mean you can't look presentable.
Seriously though, I would love to see some gal or guy strolling down the street, or in a mall, perhaps dining at an Olive Garden, dressed like some zombie fashionista. My cell phone would be whipped out and I'd be by their side begging for a photo op before they could utter, "Braaaaains!"
So if you dig it and wanna be the living dead with style, here are some ideas.

1) Let's face it, it's all about the shoes. And if you're already undead you don't have to worry about sensible running shoes. Go for broke! And broke just might be what your ankle will end up rambling around in these babies.

You can find these bloody beauties here - Gory Good Foot Fetish They also have some zombie flesh flats available for those of us worried about possibly breaking an ankle...undead or not.

2) Nails. First impressions are ever so important. And we all know that the state of our nails is going to be a tipping point in a lot of people think about us...sad but true, especially for us nail biters. Make sure your zombie nails have just enough blood spatter on them to let the fleshies know you are not a corpse to be messed with.

3) Hair. Whether you decide to tease and hairspray it into a delightfully zombie-esque tangled mess, or just pull it back to show off your jutting collar bone...do it with style.

4) One hugely important thing to remember is always look like you've just stepped off the catwalk. I don't care if you're a size 2 or 22. As the all powerful Queen of Smizing Tyra would say, be fierce!

5) Last but not least - accessories. Where would any of us be without out them. Walking around sad and boring just longing for a pair of dangle earrings...maybe a beret.

Because nothing says best buddies quite like sharing a brain

There you have it. Some truly awesome zombie fashion. Now go. Zombie out. And hopefully one day I can see you sitting a few tables away from me at an Olive Garden and be lucky enough to grab a photo.

Zombie Month - Tattoo Time

So, I know today I said I was going to be reviewing Gena Showalter's book Alice in Zombieland, but that has now gotten pushed back...I blame a writing kick I got started on. Good for the next Protectors book, bad for book reviews. In consequence, today is now Zombie Tattoo Day!
I love tattoos. I think they're a great and often beautiful way to express yourself. Myself and my body, I more go for the inspirational quote, a song lyric scrolled across a shoulder blade, a big eyed owl perched on the foot. I just don't have it in me to get a living corpse permanently tattooed to my body, but that doesn't mean I don't think it's awesome to see it tattooed on somebody else's body. I ogle and point and tell them, "Your tattoo is ridiculous...in the best possible way, of course."
Here's my list for best zombie tats.

1) Famous Folks Zombie Tats (because what better way to tell the world you admire someone then to get their rotting face permanently drawn on your body).

 2) Zombie sleeves - for the truly dedicated.

3) Unique Zombie Tats. If you want a zombie tattoo, but don't feel like going the truly traditional living dead way...do something different, cuz I guarantee it's gonna turn out AWESOME!

4) Zombie bite tats. Wanna look like a walking talking zombie victim - or zombie in the making - this is the way to do it. But remember, they are PERMANENT so unless your okay looking like you just got finished walking through Raccoon City for the rest of your life - I'd seriously consider just leaving the bite wounds to Halloween makeup and temporary tats.

 5) Cute Zombie Tattoos (my personal favorite). If you can take something like decaying flesh and make it borderline adorable, then you my friend, deserve all the awards.

Zombie Month - CDC Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness

Zombie Month continues!
Today, I'm going to be sharing Zombie Preparedness site of the CDC. Yes, the actual Center for Disease Control has an actual site dedicated to preparedness for a zombie apocalypse. It, of course, started as a fun tongue in cheek campaign to gain more of an audience, but they claim it's been an effective platform of preparing people for all kinds of disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. And I think that's great. Helping people prepare for the worst is wonderful, but lets face it, the coolest thing about this whole campaign is the fact that the CDC has a Zombie Apocalypse plan on their website. Well done, CDC, well done.
Go check out the site. They have a zombie novella you can download that helps you prepare for when the world gets taken over by flesh eating corpses. They also have zombie buttons and badges you can post to all your different social media platforms. All in all, it's something every zombie lover should check out. The link is posted below.
Tomorrow I'll be reviewing Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter. Zombie Month shall continue on! And don't forget to go and enter into the giveaway for the Daryl Dixon jewelery!

September Shall Be Zombie Month!

I walk outside, open my mailbox, and what do I see...a wonderful package addressed to me. And it's from my favorite sender ever - AMAZON! I know exactly what it is, but that doesn't stop my fingers from tearing open the packaging with eager anticipation. Finally, finally in my hands is what I had so impatiently been waiting for, my very own copy of The Walking Dead Season 3.
Why am I so excited? It's not just because it's an awesome edge of your seat show with sweaty eye candy running around wielding guns and a crossbow. No, it's because I LOVE zombies. They've absolutely terrified me - haunted my nightmares since I was a child, so of course I'm going to love them.
Anyways, with receipt of my fabulous new purchase and having just finished reading Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter, I have decided that September will be Zombie Month on my blog. It is my hope and my goal to post something zombie-esque every day for the month of September. I'll be reviewing Alice in Zombieland (something I was going to do anyway cuz I got a lot of feelings I need to express about that book), posting some nifty zombie fashion ideas and accessories, sharing some nifty recipes inspired by zombies, and anything else I dang well feel like.
Now, I know this is a big undertaking, especially for someone like me who's an infrequent blog poster, but fingers crossed I can do it. If anything, I hope it wets my appetite for October and Halloween. A month and a holiday that I adore.
If anyone has any zombie theme related ideas that they'd like to see or share please let me know.
