HOWTO make an undead Barbie

In this frightful and festive HOWTO, Are Sundnes takes us through the simple process by which a boring Barbie doll is converted into a wonderful zombie playmate.

Behind Barbie of the Undead (via Wonderland)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

The Snowden Principle

When I worked for a shoe store, we decorated our desks for Halloween. My theme was “Returns of the Living Dead (Our shoes don’t fit and we want a refund.)” Three zombie Barbies and a Ken, scattered bone-filled limbs made of modeling clay, dozens of miniaturized return forms scattered about the scene, a ‘shopped poster from the original movie and a flickering strobe against a black plastic backdrop.

It looked pretty awesome actually. I won a $10 Starbucks gift card for it. Oh boy.
