BRISBANE ZOMBIE WALK? SUCCESS!

[rockfotze]

Today was awesome, I spent most of the day giggling or yelling "BRAINS!" Oh man, it was well worth the wait and I hope the one in June does end up happening. I've also decided to try and get involved in the next one, because as fun as it was there should have been something going on at the end, instead of nothing at all. Anthony and I reckon there should be a gig for everyone afterwards, or else some other fun stuff to keep people hanging around. I was kind of disappointed how we all get to the end and sort of wander off, unsure of what to do.

My mum did mine and Anthony's makeup, and considering how she's not done this sort of thing before it turned out so well. The fake blood and puss we made was superb (tasty too) and after some experimentation the makeup turns out nicely too. Our wounds looked pretty damn good, if you ask me, it was such a shame when I had to shower it all off. I spent the day mostly with Anthony and Matt, though I managed to see many familiar faces (even through the makeup)!








Mum kept making me pose with trees (for her scrapbooking).


AWWWWW :)


This guy had such cool makeup!


Hahaha, these guys got a standing ovation when the walked in. Nothing better than zombie Wiggles!




This happened so many times. And most of the time it was a bystander who got "mauled" (they were willing, of course).


Hahaha, we're such Myspace stereotypes


We forggot the good camera so a lot of pics blurred, but regardless this guy looked rad.


A slightly better picture of my makeup. It's hard to tell but there's puss in that wound on my arm (and on my neck).


Matt, me and Anthony.


HAPPY ZOMBIES!

The rest of the photos cane be found HERE!



And yes, Anthony and I bought beer along the way and I was pretty tipsy by the time the walk was over. But hey, it helped us to look more convincing ;) I wish we'd walked down the Queen Street Mall, but I guess people were being obnoxious enough by banging on shop windows and terrifying shop assistants (I may have been involved in that a couple of times). A highlight for me was when some Japanese tourists were taking pictures so I stumbled up to them yelling "BRAINS" and they actually recoiled in fear. Haha, aweosme.

I need to go to bed as I'm exhausted but I'm still totally on a high from the good times we had. I cannot wait til the next one, especially if it is going to be a lot bigger than this one!

I kept doing the thinbg where the zombies knocked on Homer's head and then push him away yelling "BRAINS!" Haha, that episode is comic gold!

You look fantastic! I love Zombie Walks - you know the idea started here in Toronto? We're that cool!

[dienacht.livejournal.com]

I've heard so many good things about the Toronto one...I so have to be there when one happens, to show Brisbane how big it can really be!

i can't believe this happened it brisbane and i didn't know about it!!

[dienacht.livejournal.com]

Haha, it's all good. I just hate snotty anon comments from retards who are too wuss to say stuff to my face! Grr!

Damn, I should have posted reminders a lot earlier, too many Brusbaners missed out! They need to get the word out, too! I want it to be HUGE next time!

[black-lilly.livejournal.com]

hehe, you were a very nice zombie! and i am so glad to see that you remembered to paint your whole body and not only your face!
hooray for zombies!!!
hooray for brain!!!

[dienacht.livejournal.com]

I went ALL out with the makeup, not a single bit of visible skin was missed. I saw one girl who's mad eher legs white but when she sat down you could plainly see where the paint ended. Terrible!

BEST DAY EVER!

[melonoma.livejournal.com]

heeeey.. that chick in the third photo with the rad top hat, and ginger hair goes to my uni.
I see her all the time!
Anyway, your makeup looks ace! I think a few of my friends ended up going too.. I missed out obviously.

[dienacht.livejournal.com]

That's vikingcarrot!

Damn, f only you'd been there...so much fun I could have puked! (That's a good thing)

[maceo.livejournal.com]

That is so cool, you looked great. And I love the chef guy also! haha, yay for zombies

[dienacht.livejournal.com]

I loved all of the "concept zombies" myself. Like the Storm Trooper one, that was totally clever! I was thinking of "Pirate Zombie" but then remembered there was an entire film about them not to long back D:

[janainfur.livejournal.com]

HOT! I'm loving it!

Too bad I live in a country that is not cool enough for a zombie walk.. I'd be right up there with the undead! ;)

[dienacht.livejournal.com]

Man, tyou'd think Berlin would have one. You should start talking it up, generate interest! Someone would probably jump on the chance to organise one!

[el-dirty-one.livejournal.com]

Hehe, you still ook hot even as a zombie Cara. I'd let you eat my brains without too much of a struggle :P

Looks like it was a fun day.

[dienacht.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! BEST COMMENT EVER!

[raptor-au.livejournal.com]

You look great! I love the makeup!

The Wiggles are just made of awesome too. Is this going to happen more than once a year? I want in :D

[pyrotech-c3h8.livejournal.com]

I found your journal through crystaljaded and the zombie pictures made me go "Hey, this is someone I want to add" so yeah, it's too early in the morning for me to be any more articulate than that, but mind if I add you?

[dienacht.livejournal.com]

Wellof course. I shall add you myself right now!
