My good friend Melissa pinged me at work one day with the greatest idea ever! That idea was the zombie crawl. Every year in Denver thousands of people dress like Zombies and walk up and down 16th Street mall!
Apparently Mel, knowing my love for themes, knew I would say yes without thinking twice. I mean come on....not only is it a themed event, but I was actually going to get the chance to dress gory, scary, and freaky as shit! This is important because as a girl it is not often that you have the chance. The only chance Halloween tries to give us is slutty; especially for us single ladies. Although let it be known I try and go the more creatively cute route. Just you wait for future Halloween 2010 blogs!
So, Mel also told me that makeup artists may be there to help us out with our makeup! This makes things perfect; especially since I have never dressed as a zombie before.
But we still needed scars. So we drove to the Wizard's Chest in Cherry Creek and picked out our scars. Mel picked out a deep forehead gash. I picked out a cheek gash. Not only was it a cheek gash, the gash looked like it was being held together by 3 safety pins. Mel informed me while I was making my purchase, "That is wicked sick, if I really have to look at that all day, I may have to vomit." (For those of you who don't know, Mel is a New England girl, who says words like wicked.) Needless to say, I didn't care how "wicked" sick it was, this was my time to shine in the world of gore....so I bought it!
The day of the walk comes. We will skip the early morning particulars (Only Mel will ever know why I say this). We get in line. The line is long. But we wait for our make-up. The time finally comes.
So what's next.....drinking, zombie walking, learning the thriller, and all fun things! The freaking city had fucking signs everywhere.....warning people of the zombies downtown.....Once again.....Denver, you continue to amaze me!
