What do we want? BRAINS! When do we want it? BRAINS!


The 3rd annual Melbourne Zombie Shuffle was held today, and what a fantastic day it was! Big shout-outs to the lovely Ms Clem (pictured to my left, above, and also below) who got the whole rotting ball rolling, and whose company made for a great day out in the company of an undead horde that was at least 500 strong.


We came; we saw; we shambled, drooled, moaned, lurched and generally had a ball. Next year we'll be back, bigger and more cadaverous than ever!

You can read all about it on NineMSM.com - and even see a video featuring Clem and yours truly! And yes, more photos coming soon...

not sure if its the right thing to say of the undead, but you make a cute corporate zombie - 'Free Hugs' a great look too

Thanks, Sam - and yeah, I thought 'Free Hugs' zombie was kinda cute too!

I'm sad I missed it again - I went to the shuffle in 2006, and had an amazing amount of fun! I saw the MSN video, by the way - someone linked to it in a livejournal community - and recognised your voice before I realised it was you under the makeup! You look great:)

Thanks Megan - that's one of the fun things about make-up and costumes: the ability to appear anonymous, or at least as someone (or something) else for a day!

So much hysterical fun. Thanks for organising it. Bring on shuffle '09!

I am too slack to do it, next year, next year, and was heading down the coast, but my favourite was seeing zombies riding there in their bikes and cars. So out of context.

We had a zombie walk in Helsinki too a while ago. I just realized it existed and was thrilled about it. I could've participated without make-up after staying up with the baby every night for eight months in a row... There are pros and cons in being single. ;-)

Did you see any of the Sea Arrrgh protestors on the day down near Flinders St? I heard there was some kind of interaction between the pirates and the zombies.

I did indeed Tim - we had fun mixing and mingling. I believe Anonymous' next protest has a James Bond theme...
