*stares* Please pardon me while I pick my jaw up from the floor. Never saw the decapitation coming, but this was an awesome way to end a zombie fic. Also A+ for Silence of the Lamb references. Great ficlet, hon!

♥ Thank you for reading and commenting. I couldn't write about skin frocks without mentioning one of my favorite fictional villains of all time.

Thanks a lot, Reevsie. I now have the ANTM song stuck in my head. It is almost 7AM where I live at it is too early for earworm.

That said, I loved this! This was such a fun prompt and you did justice to it. *claps*

Hee! Sorry, JT. That's a whole lot of earworm for a five word song. It repeats the same question over and over again and adds music to fill in the gaps. I don't think Tyra can sing.

Thanks for reading! ♥

:::SPORFLES::: Now that's a Top show I can watch. Tyra Banks annoys me so much and ANTM went downhill for me after the split with 17 magazine. That is a hilarious and creative take on the prompt. I don't believe I've ever seen a zombie piece from you. First time?

chessie_reeves November 11 2012, 08:07:31 UTC

Agreed. I had to stop watching after the 17 split, but I did like the early seasons. Oh, the drama.

Thanks for reading, and yes, this is my very first zombie fic. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the prompt since I've never paid much attention to zombies and zombie references, but I was happy with how this turned out. If I had more time, I would have tried to work in some of Tyra's signature phrases such as "smize" and "fierce" poses. Thanks for reading! ♥

P.S. Your icon reminds me of the ANTM episode where Tyra did a slow 360 spin without lifting her leg to keep moving.

Uh, yeah I'm with Mags with the picking my jaw up from the floor thing. I thought it would be a triumphant victory for humans (I'm assuming Amber was human) and Danadead stole the show. Loved how how that worked out.

BTW, Top Zombie would be an accurate title for the past two season. I haven't liked any of the wannabe models since Allison's last appearance.

Thanks for reading and commenting! Truthfully, I had no idea how it would end until I was writing it. This was my first zombie writing of any kind and out of my comfort zone. I really appreciated how the prompt stretched my imagination.

Allison was my favorite on the show. I missed the season where she came back to compete, but I haven't really watched in a long, long time.
