148.6. Yup. This month has been a prolonged maintenance dress rehearsal. Better results next week, I'm sure. I hope. But I'm relieved to see that prolonged fun with sensible eating and exercise hasn't cost me a gain. The future in maint'nance land is looking bright.
Per usual, tho, no regrets. This Saturday was the semi-annual Zombie Walk. And Lacey's wedding day. Luckily, her wedding was at noon and the reception at 6:30, so there was plenty of time in between to zombie worship.
Before I was zombiefied:
And after. I clean up pretty good:
The volunteer makeup artist, who also does makeup for Bloodview Haunted House (I'm lucky!), did the work. Here's a close-up of his craft:
Zombie Walk itself was a hoot, of course. The weather was perfect for the undead invasion:
And then we were off to the reception, no time to wash off the make-up. And why waste such great artwork? We had a blast at the post-nuptial party:
And then on Monday, my dog and I almost got killed by this tree branch that fell on the sidewalk in front of us. Residual zombie powers must've made us deathproof:
Lee has written about recent tree attacks on her, those close to her and others. This shit's too uncanny to be just a coincidence. The tree conspiracy is real.Finally, we saw an advance screening of Zombieland last night. Eff'n hell-arious. Except the one actor who plays the geeky guy was channeling way to much Michael Cera in his performance. Still, it's a must see. But a warning...there are fast-moving zombies. Ick.
You are the epitome of coolness, Ms. Cam! Love that you went to the reception with your zombie makeup still on!!!
ReplyDeleteAw, I love when you get all zombified! Quick question: What did they use to do the base color on your arms? Was it like a spray thing or just makeup and a sponge or just magic? We gotta be zombies for some group costume thing at work this year and I don't wanna do the lame pencil-in-the-forehead trick again like last year.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I wanna see that movie BAD. But fast walking zombies? Someone didn't do their research...
First...you look awesome...buit especially hot as a zombie.
ReplyDeleteSecond...I don't know if I just "rediscovered" it or never knew that youhave dropped more than 100 pounds...that is amazing.
Fast walking zombies suck, but I will watch them anyways.
haha Cam that's awesome, you look great!
ReplyDeleteFirst, you look terrific! OK, now the tree attack. WTF?!!!! Yikes. Glad you & goji had zombie protection.
ReplyDeleteI love that first pic of you . You look so good!
ReplyDeleteOf course you make one hell of a zombie too!
You look super awesome. As a normal, and as a zombie both. And that dog is totally part pug (yes I am still on that)
ReplyDeleteThanks, ya'll.
ReplyDeleteTrish--he used an airbrush. Crazy. And it felt weird when he was applying it to my face. I couldn't breathe. Maybe I DID die...
Dina--definitely part pug. *snorts* I just don't know what other part she is. Sheba? Basenji? I just ain't paying a hundred bills for the DNA test.
FD--Bill Hinzman, the original zombie, has proclaimed fast moving zombies legit. I'm torn. It's like Jesus saying it's ok to punch your neighbor just for fun. He says it's not a sin, but it still don't feel right.
ReplyDeleteThank the gods and goddesses for residual zombie powers! Poor Goji! Um, and you! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, perhaps your dog is part pug and part zombie, thus the homicidal-tree defying powers?
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pics, both before and after zombitude.
