The world of Zombie Beauty Pageant
Heather Z (Sheri Rippel)The year is 2027, ten years after the Zombie Apocalypse, or Z-Wars as many refer to them now. It was a close call but humanity was able to fight the zombie hordes to a standstill. A vaccine was developed to prevent zombieism from being passed to humans and all humans are required to be inoculated.
Bug (Johnny Horne)The remaining zombies and humans try to coexist as best they can.
In a strange twist of fate, zombies have now become the movie, music, fashion and sex idols of modern culture. Our story takes place in one of the latest manifestations of this craze, "American zGirl", a beauty pageant for zombie women, or “zGirls" as they are popularly called.
A note on zombies in 2027
Ashley Z (Sara Carolynn Kennedy)These are not the stereotypical zombies of our past fictional imaginings, but much like humans they come with varying individual abilities. This range of types has in zombies been simplified by referring to them as "low", "medium" and "high" functioning. Most often this is determined by their ability to speak, but recent research has found this is not an accurate predictor of mental acuity.
Finally, in the peace treaty ending the Z-Wars, there is a strange clause that states:
”Should a human or zombie attempt to pass as a member of the opposing group that entity is declared 'rogue' and forfeits all human or zombie rights."
