Zombie

Last Saturday night I had a 30th zombie party. I have to admit this was the most fun I have had with makeup in a lonnnnggg time!!! We ended up finding awesome zombie makeup kits (wounds and all) from our local bargain store (thanks for all the suggestions). Unfortunately we had to look for our costumes in the same place.

I say unfortunately, because earlier in the week A and I purchased our costumes on eBay. A's seller said they expressed posted it from Brisbane on tuesday and I paid for my prom queen zombie costume on Monday - it was also suppose to be express post and from Sydney! I contacted my seller on the Wednesday to confirm the status of my order and was told it would be express posted or couriered the next day. 3pm Friday - still nothing. I found the number for the costume store and called them to be told that get back to me. 4pm - still nothing! I called the store again only to be told "oh yeah I worked out we have sold out of that costume and we have issued you a refund". Ummm gee thanks!!!!! Negative feedback coming your way buddy!

A's didn't arrive and he didn't get a refund either. Not cool.



Hung over (from a drunken Friday at Ivy) on Saturday we looked through many bargain and second hand stores to come up with Marilyn Monroe zombie and school girl zombie lol.

I swear we were picking up anything in the store and adding Zombie to the end of it for potential costumes. Pirate Zombie? Worker Zombie? Ninja Zombie? Cyclist Zombie? Knife Zombie? Spatula Zombie?? Poncho Zombie?


I think our makeup turned out pretty darn scary!!
(Marilyn mole and all)




Where's the president??? I WANT TO EAT HIM!!!



The birthday girl was a gorgeous cheerleader zombie.

Even her pup was in on the action.
"Zombie killer"


It was a really fun night!!

As always the birthday girl spoiled her guests with a BBQ, catered food, a bartender, a best dressed award and even zombie themed Lolly bags!!

I danced up a storm from what I can remember lol. A and I certainly had a lot of brain hemerage shots. I'm surprised we felt okay the next morning.


Hungry??

I'm the tanned Zombie lol

 
I think this was an awesome theme, everyone looked great, there were sooo many ways to interpret it and I got to play around with makeup. :)

Red Riding Hood Zombie

  1. That is a fantastic theme and your costume looks great!

    I have only been to a couple of Themed parties. One was a 'twin' themed party and was pretty good. The best I think was a general fancy dress. S and I went as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Surprisingly easy to do!

  2. Wow, that is some very bad customer service on ebay, it's a shame you had issues with both costumes...

    HOWEVER, you looked so good! haha can't believe how much you actually look zombie like haha, and yep, you actually look dead in some of them... Which is a bit concerning haha

    I haven't been to too many costume parties, and when I have they haven't been very exciting, nothing worth mentioning anyways!

  5. Such an awesome theme! I think the best theme party I've been to was my "When I Grow Up" 21st Birthday party but it wasn't nearly as awesome as this zombie one looked! All other dress up parties have been standard cowboy, superhero etc themes. I actually have anopther superhero party to go to next month, I'm thinking of getting a Pikachu onesie but I may have to rethink if eBay is getting dodgy...

    1. Pikachu would be an awesome costume. With ebay I would just say to give yourself extra time!
