The Boys Consider Local Safety Issues / And More Zombie-Fashion Coverage!

Due to the ever-increasing number of shitfaced college students getting mugged as they stumble through the student ghetto after the bars close, student groups are pressing city fathers to construct an official well-lighted "pedestrian pathway" between KU and downtown. What do the boys think?

Chip: "I suppose it's a good idea as far as safety goes, but I do sort of enjoy the darkness when I'm hammered on the way home and suddenly feel the need to rub one out in the bushes."

Richard: "This is all well and good, but I'm far more worried about getting caught in the middle of a brawl between our sports teams than I am about being mugged."

The Replay's "Adorn of the Dead" zombie-fashion show is (deservedly) getting a lot of press in the local media. An article today offers these thoughts on zombies:

“I love the zombie theme,” says model Victoria Ashley Partridge, who will be wearing a piece by Lawrence designer Katy Seib.l and gobs of death pallor makeup. “That was the kicker. When Katy told me it was going to be zombie-themed, I said I was definitely interested. The more gore I wear, the better. They can put wounds on me. I’m kind of hoping they’ll give me a severed appendage as a prop, or maybe a bloody stuffed animal I can drag on a leash. Yeah, I like zombies.” (Lawrence.com).

A slideshow on Lawrence.com offers a glimpse of some of the models and proves that one can indeed walk a catwalk with PBR in hand:

I miss the replay. Is that your favorite fashion blogger, or do all hipsters really just look that much alike?

Hey, Red. All hipsters look alike with a PBR in their hand, but that's not Katy.

Or maybe it is. Either way, I'd offer her my brains!

I walked by a bookstore today and saw Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. I know I'm out of the loop on just about everything right now, and I also know that Jane Austen has long been a source of parody, but what the frick is going on!?

Just some annoying new trend to combine famous lit with famous monsters, I suppose.

I'm working on several "mash-ups" of my own, since they are all inevitable best-sellers!
