The Zombie Squad??

Every now and then a bunch of nondescript cars converge on the empty office buildings near our work. There were there again today.

The sign says it's all a police training exercise. But what exactly are they training for?

I have seen some pretty impressive equipment hauled out of those cars and one time half a dozen dogs were there too.

Why the secrecy? Are they training for the inevitable zombie outbreak?


Is it the Zombie Squad?


Are they biting out more than they can chew?

Bad day at the office? Redux

A while back we posted Bad day at the office? But I was never happy with the background and finally the right idea came along. So here it is again.

Please note that clambering over cubicle walls is a serious breach of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011. So even if you are a zombie hungry for brains - use the door like everyone else.

Bite off more than you can chew

Dining during a zombie apocalypse is no reason to lower your standards. Remember to use a napkin and hold your cutlery correctly.

As I tell everyone, my weed choked, overgrown lawn is really a survival garden. It has nothing to do with being lazy.

Of course if you plan to eat wild plants, carefully check out that you have picked the right ones. Same with the snails. There is lot of recipes and information on the web so do your research!

Bite of more snail than you can chew.

Saturday thought! Bad day at the office?

Had a bad day at the office?

Zombies cure that!

Bite of more than you can chew.

Mmmm - this could make for an interesting type of zombie movie.

Zombies in your ears!

Hello Friends

As Zombies continue to invade our screens, I feel this is the right time to infect the radio waves with an injection of zombie themed anthems. Way back when in the year 1982, Michael Jackson released the phenomenon known as Thriller. The accompanying film clip featured zombies crawling out from their graves and breaking it down with some awesome choreography. I am pleased to report that MJ’s legacy lives on today, as artists from around the globe continue to include Zombies as inspiration for their music. Here are my top five:


5. Rob Zombie – Living Dead Girl
Released back in 1999, Living Dead Girl gives you a healthy serve of industrial metal set against the back drop of a grainy black and white 1930’s inspired film clip.

4. The Cranberries – Zombie
Heralding from the mid 90’s, the Cranberries use the humble Zombie as a metaphor to protest the political troubles in Northern Ireland, while at the same time reaching number 1 in multiple countries around the globe.

3. The Creepshow – Zombies ate her brain
These Canadian songsters describe their style as ‘Psychobilly’. Even though I just came across this song a few days ago, it still makes the number 3 position as I feel Miss K would appreciate the leopard print frock, amazing big hair and the hilarious abrupt ending.

2. Natalia Kills – Zombie
In a similar approach to the Cranberries, Natalia Kills slays your favourites with this 2010 dark pop gem, by describing her boyfriend as a cold heartless Zombie with an eerie film clip to match.

1. Laura Shigihara - Zombies on your Lawn
Never heard of Laura Shigihara?? Me neither, but I am now this new Lady Gaga's number one follower on Twitter. At the risk of sounding totally mental, I’m backing Zombies on your Lawn for Youtube viral glory!  With over 13 million hits already, this instant classic is part of the Plants Vs Zombies game soundtrack.  This song has tongue-in-cheek lyrics and a film clip with footage from the game which takes it to another level of psycho tropic heaven! Trust me when I say you will not be able to get this tune out of your head.

So there you have it ladies and gents, I hope you now have a fine appreciation for the role that Zombies play in our forever evolving music industry. And how about you, did I miss one of your Zombie themed faves? Comment below and share your favourite Zombie anthems with a brief description!

Bite you later

Friday thought!

It has been one hell of a week so now time to wind down for the weekend and relax. So if you are recovering from a crazy week....

Have a great weekend and don't get bit.

Happy Halloween

I hope you all had a fun Halloween yesterday. In recent years Halloween has started to really take off here in Australia and I for one am on board! This is probably not that surprising for someone who has a zombie blog.

Of course there are the haters out there who say it's too commercial, it's not our tradition blah blah blah but they seem happy enough to jump on board with Valentines day and St Pats day and who cares, it's fun, lets make it part of our tradition and celebrate with family and friends. I mean how many chances do we get as adults to play dress ups? Sales for Halloween merchandise were up 30% from last year and I would say this trend will continue to grow and Halloween will be here to stay in Oz (sorry haters). It is fast becoming one of my favourite holidays, so here is a peak at my Halloween for 2012.

Prints for the apocalypse

A couple of weeks ago the lovely Mr K convinced me to buy a leopard print frock. I do have a few leopard print accessories but have never really been brave enough to take the plunge into all over print. 

Anyway plunge I did (he was paying) and this new addition to my wardrobe got me thinking… a leopard print frock is perfect attire for surviving the zombie apocalypse!! I mean leopards have those amazing pelts for a reason; it’s the ultimate in nature camouflage!! Now traditional camo is not for everyone, but a leopard print frock would make the perfect replacement. Imagine how you will be able to blend into the surroundings when hiding out in the woods with fellow survivors when a few rouge zombies come wandering through your camp. Ok so there is the issue of still smelling like a living zombie meal. Perhaps someone like Demeter Fragrance can release a 'dead' scent and then you will be practically invisible in the eyes of the zombie!! And if the worse does come to pass and you do get bitten… well at least you will be a well dressed on trend dead person!!

Hello!!

A few months ago I started watching The Walking Dead ( a late comer I know)  and this seems to have lead from one thing to another and now after my 8^th zombie novel I am in full blown zombie obsession. I just find the whole concept fascinating, the whole breakdown of a society; the moral decisions faced in order to survive etc. (believe me I could go on and on). But I also love pretty clothes, tattoos, shoes, anything related to a woodland creatures and pretty much anything pretty with a touch of whimsy. So after annoying all my colleagues, my partner and friends with my constant zombie apocalypse musings, I thought why not channel all of these loves into a single creative outlet and blog!!

So here I am, and well, it could at times get a bit weird, but I also think it will be lots of fun! So join me as I share my ramblings on the zombies, survival, frocks, shoes and many random things!
