Remember how I mentioned a few days ago that I am doing the Organ Trail Urban Adventure race this Saturday? Well, of course we have to have the appropriate attire to participate! Duh! After the gym last night, a few of the girls and I went to Party City to figure out the details. Of course, we bought a bunch of zombie makeup so the talented makeup gals in the group (i.e. NOT me) can turn our faces into zombified nightmares. I was wicked curious to see what that entails, but apparently they make kits for this sort of thing. You know, the usual blood, lacerations, black gunk, and white cream….the usual! We also got some red and gray hair dye –you know, cause those colors scream blood and old age! — as well as some fun knee high socks and tutus.
Yes, I said a tutu.
After all, what would be a true zombie race without a tutu? Ballerinas and other dancers die and turn into zombies just as often as anyone else. I’ve watched scary movies before; I know this is true! In light of that, we decided that we were gonna be zombies in tutus. Logically, the best option! I am curious to see how running in a tutu works out for me. There is 4+ miles of running, as well as some obstacles, so the tutu could be an interesting experiment. I might have to go all Black Swan on the thing if it decides to piss me off or something.
I’m a little more concerned interested in what they are going to make us eat! The rules said to think of a combination between Fear Factor and the Amazing Race….if I remember correctly, Fear Factor involved either climbing into pits of snakes, which I find highly unlikely, or eating the grossest, slimiest, most disgusting things on the planet. It’s Halloween. We are in a zombie race. I’m betting on the latter! If it gets too gross, I might have to bust out the angry Black Swan moves again. With the tutu.
Another awesome, fun Friday fact? My sis just informed me last night that she just now subscribed via email to my blog. I’ve had the thing for 6 years. Way to take your time on that one, lil sis!! 😉
You know what else I think is awesome? This picture:
And I’ll leave you with that. Happy weekend everyone!
Favorite Halloween candy….GO!
