HOWTO make a Zombie Barbie Garden

Carrie and her daughters turned their collection of decrepit Barbies into a garden of ZOMBIE BARBIES for Hallowe'en: "The girls helped rat the hair of all the thrifted Barbies before I coated them with paint. Then they were dressed and creepified with black Sharpie markers. Princess even made them headstones. 'R.I.P. Freaky Barbie.'"

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.

Looks like the grave scene in Santa Sangre. Not a zombie movie, but one of my all time faves.

That’s awesome. You don’t even have to worry about any missing arms or legs!

They’re the creepiest because they retain their airhead expression that makes them the hungriest for brains zombies ever.

Great concept. and execution.

This is a particularly challenging project precisely because they’re zombies to begin with. There’s a little bit of “gilding the lily” going on here. Great work nonetheless.

Back when Ken, Barbie, and I were all young I recall the dolls being used for a piece of art which was Ken and Barbie in Eden complete with fig leaves.

Love the forehead hash marks. It’s one step away from a Barbie Manson cross/swastika.
