It&#8217;s a zombie dress now. It&#8217;s gone way past death and is barely hanging on to some kind of unpleasant, falling-apart afterlife. There are lots of pulls and the fabric has a strange, flimsy feeling. My deathly pallor goes well with a zombie garment, doesn&#8217;t it? I did a spray tan once and sweated it off in the gym in a day, so that was the end of that for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Continuing the undead theme, Sunday night was dedicated to watching the season premiere of sex-ay vampire television series <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hbo.com\/true-blood\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>True Blood<\/em><\/a> with my <a href=\"http:\/\/tinatheoccasionalcook.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">gorgeous food-blogging friend Tina<\/a>.
