Story Research; Zombie Apocalypse Women: What can you not give up?

[SilMaria]

Okay, so I'm working on a new series set in a Zombie Apocalypse, kinda like the Walking Dead, if fucking were an integral part of getting through the Zombie hordes. I'm now trying to imagine what it would be like to actually live through that, day-by-day, losing more and more of the amenities of modern life. And it got me wondering about my fellow female survivors: What would be the most important thing that would probably not be available anymore, but you still would die for? Possible suggestions above, but I ran out of space, so if anything else comes to mind, just leave a comment. For science.

I don't think there would be any lack of the things you listed. No sane person in that situation would be looking for them very often, except maybe tampons, soap and shampoo.

 

[SilMaria]

I'm pretty sure 24 days into the Zombie Apocalypse we'll be running out of batteries for my vibrator. 24 months into it, it'll get increasingly hard to find shaving cream. 24 years into it, and the global stockpile of bras and panties might look a little out of fashion. Just sayin'.

oh, yeah, the world has ended and my biggest issues will be mascara & wanking what a shit list! cliché ''oh help! i'm a girl and there's no hair driers in hell'' crap.

soap can be made, either from certain plants or from fat & ash, and soap is the only thing on the list you really need.

fashion? seriously?

 

[SilMaria]

Which part of "so if anything else comes to mind, just leave a comment" did you not understand?

 

[dolf]

even my teenage daughter thinks this list is lame.
and she's a teenager.

 

[dolf]

chances of successfully hunting deer whilst reeking of chanel...

 

[SilMaria]

Hm, okay. Didn't think this thread would pull Trolls so quickly, but there you go...

 

[dolf]

if anyone who thinks you're an idiot is a troll, you must be living through a troll apocalypse.

 

[SilMaria]

It's mostly your nose and the smell that gave you away.

 

[dolf]

It's mostly your nose and the smell that gave you away.

was that your best effort at insults? it's about the same quality as your lists.

 

[dolf]

lists and insults clearly aren't your forte.
have you tried knitting? or macramé?

 

[parodyluvr75]

She's not a troll. She just thinks your list is lame. I do too. I'd be helpless without my nail polish.
*cries*

 

[SilMaria]

So that's one for nail polish.

LOL! claw polish, birdie. claw polish

 

[butters]

medicine would be essential for many - everything from aspirin to hypertension medication, antibiotics and antiseptics.

 

[dolf]

detecting sarcasm gets added to the list *sigh*

I stand corrected on beautifully manicured claws.

No, it's not.

My baseball bat, my pocket knife and my blankie.

yeah but the conceit of 'girlie things to kill for' in post-zombiepocalypse days is too ridiculous to contemplate. ffs, if you can't get through the days without princessing it up, fucking die already.

 

[dolf]

you're thick, bugger off.

I stand corrected on beautifully manicured claws.

I don't doubt it for a moment, oh perfectly preened one.

No, it's not.

My baseball bat, my pocket knife and my blankie.

now I wish I had a baseball bat... I might buy myself an axe tomorrow, just to cheer myself up. and chop wood. cheer myself up and chop wood.

when food runs short, we eat the vainest first!
...but with an attractive garnish. we're not complete bastards.

 

[Fata Morgana]

There's no cheese on that list. Ergo, your list is shit. A shit list.
