Undead Chic beauty tip of the week: plastic surgery for zombies!
We’re getting settled into our new place. It’s pretty swank, and people hardly ever come down here. The only drawbacks is that I have to do a lot of cleaning up. I haven’t even had time to toonitize many pics for you guys because everything is SUCH A MESS.
Harsh reality check: we are falling apart. Besides CeeCee, our hair is coming out in clumps, everything’s flaking and peeling and breaking off in chunks, and even with the zombie polish, we leak gooey stuff in every gross color you can imagine.
Last night, I raided the janitor’s supply closet (again) and scored a big bottle of bleach to clean the carpets. And while I was up there, I noticed that the school’s got this old laminator stored in the back all covered in dust.
I remember it being a really big deal in grade 1 when we made our own placemats and they all got laminated. I guess they don’t do that at school anymore, but I’ve still got mine. It was actually super durable.
And it got me thinking. This zombie polish I made is only a temporary solution. But what if we could laminate ourselves?!
I did some research online, and figured out that I couldn’t put us through the machine, but I could do the next best thing.
Stored along with the laminator were all these rolls of laminating film. So last night, I took Misha out, and wrapped her up in this film. Then we went to the kitchen off the school cafeteria and I wrapped her in foil, because on the internet, they say you need some kind of guard between the laminate and the heat.
After that, I stuck her in the big oven for about four minutes at 260 degrees.
Eek! Do you hate me now? Am I awful?
I know I should have tried it on myself first, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to just stick myself in an oven like that. And even Misha, who didn’t know what was going on, was, like, screaming and fighting me…
But guess what? It worked! She came out all smooth and shiny with hardly any problems.
And okay, maybe the rest of her hair all fried off, and maybe the film I used was too thick, so she walks like a robot now, but NO smell, NO mess (except from her face, which maybe I’ll try laminating another time), and guaranteed no parts falling off!
It started with a bottle of bleach, but in the end it’s your undead chic beauty tip of the week. Ta-da!
