That's just not right ...

Newsweek have a 'Diana at 50' cover, with a digitally aged Diana:


It's not just me, she totally looks like a Zombie, yes?

Let this be a lesson to all of you to always wear a seatbelt, lest the media forever ignore both your many good works and all semblance of good taste when it comes to considering your family's feelings in favour of a 'cover with impact'.

(And don't hang out with Tina Brown if you ever plan to be the least bit famous, she will revivify any fleeting connection far beyond the point when any trashy 50s' horror flick voodoo priestess would be ashamed!)

Just ... NO!

But in a more personal note, if I look like that in four years, please shoot me? Ok, skinny is fine, but the rest of it? Honestly, I won't want to live.

If you looked like that, you'd not be alive. You'd be shambling and muttering 'BRAAAAAAAAAAIIIINS!'

People wonder why I spend so much of my working life in despair ...

Yeah, but Push would LURVE me. :D

And my mind is a bad, bad place, because all I could think while reading this was 'if Diana did come back as a Zombie, would her fans still love her?'

I can see whole magazines such as 'Fashion for the Popular Undead' and 'Afterlife', and articles like 'How to pick up that pesky limb without disturbing your table guests' and '10 best recipes for brains'.

You're right, you know. Lurch would sell by the crateload, and grey would be this season's eye, lip and complexion colour ...

Oh, darhlink, grey is SO last season. Gangreen is the new grey for the well dressed society zombie.


(spelling deliberate)

And think of the television opportunities - Dead Brother, Dead and Away, Two and a Half Bodies, Big Brain Theory, So You Think You Can Shuffle. Not to mention the crime shows - where the victims could actually solve their own murders.
