Meat your dream girl: The new zombie pin-up calendar
You know, I love all things that go bump in the night – but I have to say that I’m not sure about this one:
Ever since Buffy the Vampire Slayer arrived on the scene, horror and showbiz glamour have been closely intertwined. Now two American artists have created the ultimate fusion of the two in a new calendar. Aptly called “My Zombie Pinup” the work is designed and produced by Shalaco Sching and Robyn Elizabeth Malter.
“We both really loved the campy playfulness and sex appeal that the traditional pin up embodied,” explained 27-year-old Mr Sching. “Adding the zombie element seemed like a natural next step. The challenge was to finding the balance between the gore and beauty. We consulted a lot of people before doing the production design and realised early on that hair, clothing and the garment malfunction were cornerstones of the pin-up.
As I said, I love the horror genre. From Stephen King and his son Joe Hill, to old Lovecraft and the punk goth gore of Poppy Z. Brite.
I can read the stuff anywhere and anytime – and I can’t say I’ve ever had a problem sleeping afterwards. On the other hand, I’ve never been so enthralled with the monsters that I ever fantasized about sleeping with them, so, I’m not sure zombie pin-ups are really me.
Still, I suppose it’s a must have for every true Sarah Palin fan.
