Event - SJ Zombie Crawl 2012

This goes with yesterday's blog post about 2011.

This year's Zombie Crawl I wore a dress that I had made for the 2009 event.  A sailor dress complete with bloody dolphin and hat.  The theme I was going for was drowned Sailor Girl.
I made the dress with a pattern out of Gothic Lolita Bible and loved making it bloody.  It pleased me a great deal.  I think it is super adorable and love the crap out of it.  The bodice part is a little tight and makes a nice set of cleavage >.<   The whole dress has just a zipper under one of the sleeves so its mostly just wiggling into and out of it.  It just makes me want to make more GaroLoli dresses that I can be a zombie in.
  


Horrid "Candy Cane" drinks... Well
at least our breaths felt fresh...
We all had lots of fun again that day.  Started and ended at the pub that I always seem to start and end with. Zombie Fashion Show was pretty neat.  Lots of pretty prints in the dresses that were showcased.  Hit maybe  three bars the whole night.  Just hung out for the most part and chilled.

 I am greatly looking froward to 2013's Zombie Crawl!  I have no idea what I'm going to do for it but I'm excited knowing that in less than a year I will be breaking out my bottle of blood to over dose myself in icky goo that will dry, crack, stain my skin but make me look oh so awesome!  I have no idea as to what theme I will be going for next year but I have a few ideas in mind that could work-- One day my dream is to make a Sailor Moon Zombie outfit and wear it to the event.  However, I'd have to make a normal one first in order to see how to put it together and second it would be freakishly cold. >.<

Event - SJ Zombie Crawl 2011

This blog post is about the San Jose Zombie Crawl that took place in 2011.  Tomorrow's post will be about the Crawl from 2012.

The group from the end of the Crawl.

Do the creep
I've been going to the local Zombie Crawl since 2010 and love hanging with my friends and hanging in bars as a zombie.  Its always nice to see other people dressing up and participating in the event with feverish excitement.

It was this years crawl that I made and dressed up as Hysteria Alice from American McGee's Alice.  I thought it would be fitting considering it was a newly released game that year and I had planed on making all the outfits from the game because they were gosh darn gorgeous.
So keep them arms T-Rex'in

The event consists of a Crawl along a set trail around Downtown San Jose.  There are various businesses along the way that have discounts for Zombies and there are some that don't want them inside, for fear they may frighten their normal customers.
There is a movie that plays every year as well.  That year's movie was Fido. I never stay for the movie because I'd need to sit in my chair for the whole event in order to get an ok seat.
There is also a fashion show that showcases both clothing and accessories that are zombie friendly and fit the ascetic.   

As always the hyincs insued and the fun was had.  We started at O'Flahertys and ended at the same place.  This has become a theme every year and I love started with a Guinness and ending with one.

I had a half-way horrid morning the next day but it wasn't as bad as the year before that--  That being said, It was super fun and I suggest to many people that they should attend the event.
