With Halloween just around the corner it was bedlam in an all girl’s school. The bitching and cat fights over who would have the sluttiest costume were unbearable. "What are you going as?" was the question on everyone’s lips hoping to hear that it was something to do with short skirts, skin tight Lycia and a low cut bust line.
"A ZOMBIE!" I scream it at the top of my lungs, "I mean... something definitely dead." An unnatural silence came over the room full of bleach blonde Barbie wanna bees. The shocked facial expressions were something to laugh at.
Off course this isn't what actually happened, exaggeration is a wonderful thing. Seriously though, even though I am only 16 there is quite a lot pressure on me to be going out to the local night clubs, not that it isn't fun, how could it not be? Dancing, loud music, lots of boys, alcohol, did I mention boys? Plus there's the rush of doing something you know you shouldn't. But Halloween is the one night a year were girls can dress in the trampiest costumes and not be looked down upon. This is why I am going as a zombie. Plus if I tried to go in any sort of Lycia costume it would probably be even scarier than going as a zombie! Where has the meaning of Halloween gone? The scary stories, the creepy costumes and a night filled with expectable frights, plus the sweets. Last time I checked, dressing up as a crayola crayon wasn't something to give you nightmares about, unless you're a crack head or you're on something stronger.
I have been working on quite a few bits and pieces for my zombie costume. This mainly includes the horrifying cuts and gashes normally attained by living the undead lifestyle.
So I haven’t quite worked out how to put the pictures side by side, definitely isn't as easy as it seems. I must apologize about the larger gash that I made for my arm as I made it out of blue tissue paper instead of toilet roll and I used acrylic paints instead of my foundation (which I used on my slit wrist) and there was no fake blood available.
What d'ya think? Good eh? Well I certainly like them and I am planning to do a large gash on my neck and a few bullet holes on my head using the same method for Halloween night!
It's getting late. I guess that's the end of my first ever blog! Now to spell check it, haha. Good night!
