Last Friday, Gage finally got to go to his cousin Aidan's birthday party he had anxiously been waiting for all week...a zombie themed birthday party! Oh yes. A party full of young, wonderful children dressed as dead corpses with rotting flesh. Bless their little souls. To prepare Gage for the big event, I of course had been looking into zombie makeup tutorials. I'm not sure which one I was more excited about: Gage going to a zombie party, or me getting to do his makeup. After a well-spent $4 on Halloween makeup at Walmart, this was the fabulous freakish fiend I created...behold, creeper Gage! And liquid latex? My new best friend. It created some nasty looking scabs. Bravo.
Look how gaunt his face looks in this! Sick. Awesome.
At the party, as if all the children ghouls weren't frightful enough, there was the zombie buffet table to feast on that featured delicatessens such as birthday cupcakes topped with mini severed body parts, dry ice in the punch bowl that eventually resembled a bloody brain, chocolate pudding with Oreo pieces that looked like dirt itself accompanied by gummy worms to complete your compost dessert, and a giant green Jello bowl with floating apple and pineapple chunks, all of which these fabulous foods were displayed on a blood-stained table cloth. Yummy. To add to the creep factor, the lights were dimmed, picture frames in the house were tilted and had spider webs draped over them and eerie pipe-organ music played in the
background sending chills up my spine. Seriously, some creepy
tunage...not a norm kid's Halloween CD with Monster Mash and Purple
People Eater. How...awesome...is...this...party?! Answer: so awesome that one of the little girls in attendance was terrified of everything (especially the life-size zombie cut out taped on the front door) and shut herself in a back room for the entire party to watch a movie. Poor thing.
Here we have a pic of a few zombie party-goers...the rest were scattered around the house and would not follow my "gather around for a picture" directions. Grumble. But, if I may say so, Gage was by far the most legit. Thank you Walmart makeup! And Gage says, "Arghhhhuhhhh!"
P.S. Speaking of zombies...yippy skippy that The Walking Dead started on Sunday!! I've been longing for it.
