Enough with the freakin' zombies!

Werewolf As much as I love zombies, they need to start an annual (monthly?) Werewolf Lope! Just to mess things up a bit. Although... maybe they already have 'em... way out in the deep, dark woods... up in the snowy climes...

Portland Zombie Walk

Zombies for Kip Ian and I attended the annual Portland Zombie Walk the other day. It was hilarious to watch as hundreds of Zombies grunted and stumbled past Macy's and Nordstroms and northward into the fancy Pearl District, masses of them attacking a passing train as chants of "Brains, Brains!" turned to "Trains, Trains!", and leaving fake blood smeared everywhere in their wake. We were too lame to dress up but the fact that we'd been sick and hitting the Nyquil helped us to feel the Zombie vibe. Thanks for urging me to go, Kipling!

My set and the "PDX Zombie Walk" pool, which has some great shots. This guy has some great zombie pix, too.

Zoo Tuesday: Dead Guy and Sunset

Wod sunset Pretty amazing sunset tonight in Cow Town, and oh yeah, also there were dead guys in the prehistoric park.

Many more zombies walk here.

ETA: after this shot got picked up on Neatorama I dug a bit and came up with another Amy Winehouse zombie here.

And here. (at 2:01)

Apparently there is a lot of love for the zombie girl...who knew? Links abound, including:

I wonder if the mystery girl knows her face is all over the internets today?
