Working Stiff

Bill helped me with my zombie makeup. He, Father Latexia, and I took a cab downtown. When I got out two of my (deliberately) smashed cameras—I was Zombierazzi, the paparazzi bitten by a celebrity and turned into the living dead—were knocked off. While I was putting one back on I asked Bill to hold the other. In a manner of seconds he\'d turned it into a totally hilarious prop amusing everyone the entire night. Nobody does a zombie like Bill. He\'s got the look, the stagger, the eye contact, and the mannerisms down pat. When we were walking to the East Village after the parade some urban youth looked at us and muttered, "Crazy white folk" as they passed.
