Oh, what frightfully fantastic fun we had at Barnes & Noble in the Westgate Mall in San Jose yesterday at the DEAD LOVE “Meet (meat?) and Greet” and reading.
One of the high points: the presentation of the “dismember-me plush zombie” from a fabulously fiendish friend whose tattoos are to die for. You can cuddle this little deadling to death or just have a rip-roaring time pulling it limb from limb and reassembling in creative ways. It’s 12 inches long and comes with a tiny pink brain … detachable of course. Body parts are easy to swallow, which makes it unsuitable for little children. It is definitely the perfect worry toy for those days when you think everything is falling apart. We have ThinkGeek to thank for the creation of our dead lovable little zombie doll and Kevin for the gift and Zombie Runner for making it available for purchase. So consume like a zombie. Stagger out and get one, or put the fingers that you’ve tucked away somewhere to use and order online. Remember to shop till you drop. Buy till you die.
