Stumbled upon a morbidly themed bath and beauty shop on Etsy (aka, the place on the internet where I spend all of my time.)
Bloodbath is a cute little shop that serves up bath scrubs, moisturizers, tattoo and lip balms with names like “Mama Boogie’s ‘tasty testes’ Ball Polish”, “Lip Embalm”, and “Emu Potion”.
I’m particularly interested in the “Zombie Zen” sugar scrub. (Linked above.)
Concocted by necromancers in the still of the night with flesh loving ingredients. A must have for scrub “fiends” like myself…
Scented with Zombie Zen- A fresh, clean, ocean scent.
Massage this intoxicating, creamy, whipped scrub onto damp skin, paying extra attention to unusually “dead” areas. Add a small amount of water and revel in delight as it mysteriously morphs into a skin reviving lotion. Rinse and behold the wonder of your newly risen flesh!
…Sounds like the Crypt-keeper wrote these descriptions.
Although I do wish that different products had different graphics, or different packaging– I’m sufficiently drawn in. Perhaps I’ll pick some up and give a review.
Not exactly zombie related, but I would have to say that I kinda agree with Quentin here.
I find that fat woman’s perspective on Kill Bill pretty insulting– but you can be the judge for yourself.
Mint pointed out that Xbox magazine had put out a Zombies! special issue, so I picked up a copy.
…It was 10 bucks. I don’t know if it normally costs that much, but Xbox Mag seems to think that by plastering “COLLECTOR’S EDITION” on the cover that you’ll spend 10 dollars on it.
I certainly seem to have.
On the bright side, there’s a pretty sweet article penned by the Editor that gives you a more in-depth look into the Zombie as an archetype and the History of Resident Evil article is pretty extensive and informative (only if you haven’t already played all of the Resident Evil games.)
The magazine contains a TON of game reviews, and game previews– but I’m surprised they did things like include information about the next Aliens game, and refer to Bioshock like it’s a horror game.
Yeah, okay.
The enemies you’re fighting are mutants, sure– but its not really a zombie game… and not really even scary.
I’m just left wondering why they didn’t even mention anything about Onechanbara, which is an Xbox game. Strange! Bikini Zombie Killers? Who doesn’t want a preview of that in their zombie magazine?
If you want a pretty solid introduction into Zombie games, and the culture in general– it’s a pretty good start. Few ads and fun articles make for a fun read. If you’re already a big fan, this is pretty standard stuff with a preview of what’s to come spliced in. Despite what the cover may say, this is not a collector’s item.
It’s still a pretty fun read, either way. Cover says display until May 19th, so get ‘em while they got ‘em.
Because I am still awake after 4+ glasses of wine, I tried googling “zombie passover”.
The only result that did not contain a listing of all songs in the world (including songs by Rob Zombie along with Passover songs) was this:
“Passover
In Zombie Christianity, Passover celebrates not the final meal that Jesus shared with his disciples before his death, but the first meal after his return as a zombie. Traditionally this holiday is observed by preparing a simple meal of unleavened brains washed down with the saltiest blood available. A garnishing of parsley is optional.”
Hit the jump on “this” for the rest of the (non-pesach related) article.
Zombie Noises has been in a weird state of suspended animation since I bought this domain back in 2008. Now I’ve finally wrangled wordpress (somewhat?) and I’m feeling confident enough to start the blog over. The Etsy is up, as well. Products to be coming soon, maybe?
There’s still some tweaking to be done to the site, when I have time.
In a few days, I will be deleting all old user accounts and starting fresh. If you were a member of Zombie Noises before, you are more than welcome to come back.
