Apocalypse Hal - Shotgun Chic 2

Apocalypse fashion for the guys.

Taking inspiration from the old Mad Max movies with the home made armor and sawn off shotguns.  And remember black leather never goes out of style, even if it totally impractical for the Aussie summer.

Bite off more than you can chew.

Apocalypse Hal - Shotgun Chic 1

It's spring and that means a bunch of new fashions will be be hitting the catwalks around Australia. So it's time for some apocalypse fashion. After all, if you are going to carry a weapon, you got to do it in style!

This is inspired by my mum, particularly that old photo of her from the 1960s. All mascaraed up, with the beehive hairdo, leopard print mini skirt and extra long cigarette holder. She was also handy with the shotgun, particularly during the drought of 68 when she had to defend the farmhouse from ravenous feral cats.

Next week Shotgun Chic for the males.

Bite of more than you can chew.

Emergency Room Fashion

When the zombie plague hits, you can be sure that our hospitals are going to feel the brunt of it as people get tested and issued with green or red wristbands.  Mindful of this, BZF sent an operative undercover this week to see how well our local hospital was functioning and checked if it would be up to the pressure of a mass zombie infection.  It was a quick 5:00am dash to the emergency centre, and well, the initial report is not pretty.

Let’s face it, what is it with those white hospital gowns! We commend the use of practical natural fibres like cotton but surely they could have some designer colours?  Some prints at least.  How about adding a pocket for your iPhone?  Why do they use tie fastenings, have they not heard of Velcro? 

Seriously the style is archaic and in desperate need of a fashion upgrade.  And the whole “put it on backwards” thing has got us stumped.  Did some half drunken medical intern start this as a practical joke and somehow it has become a Standard Operation Procedure?  Walking around with your bum hanging out – really.

We believe, like everything, it is a Government conspiracy. Like tobacco plain packaging it is a psychological trick to reduce the pressure on our hospitals. We can image Miss K’s views on this…

Miss K: “Honey I’m feeling dizzy and my skin is turning grey.

Mr K: “Let’s get you to the hospital and checked out!”

Miss K “What, no way!  I wouldn't be seen undead in one of those hospital gowns.  You can just lock me in the garage. Oh and sharpen up the axe just in case”
