Zombie Kitty Kawaii! Mail Art Roundup

Zombie Kitty Kawaii! loves to receive your cards and letters. Here are a few of the latest that we would like to share with you, our loyal readers:

From Svenja Wahl of Heidelberg, Germany:


I have to say, Svenja, those two look like they've seen a Zombie... or possible a Zombie Kitty! Thanks for the mail art. I know Zombie Kitty Kawaii! will enjoy it very much.

From Amy Irwen

Well, Amy, participation has been fantastic and it's all because of you who read this blog, send ZKK mail, comment on the blog and offer to host her (and ZMK) into your homes and show off your cities, towns and villages. For that, I am forever grateful.

Now the big surprise! The "Secret File" as sent to me from our very own Waitpinga, SA correspondent, Vizma Bruns, who is currently on her very own world tour. I admit, this was sent to me waaaaaaay back in April, so I apologize for the delay in posting it:

Boekie Two:
I guess the "Secret Files" on Zombie Mini Kawaii! are no longer a secret...but, I figured you would all enjoy Vizma's creativity and sharp sense of humor. 
Thanks to all of you again for sending Zombie Kitty Kawaii! such wonderful mail art.

Zombie Kitty Kawaii!: "My Adventures with Queen Martha and Prince John of Retailia"

Zombie Kitty Kawaii! goes on an outing with Queen Martha I and Prince John, who show her the wonders of some of Retailia's finest gardens. Photos and commentary by Queen Martha I and ZKK (Mark 2):

"Well, I missed the Italian meal as I could not wake up when I finally got to sleep. To make up for it , the Queen and prince John took me to visit Wakehurst, a manor house with huge gardens in the Retailian countryside."

 
"At certain point, I realized that to stay undead I needed to keep an  eye, easy for me, on John's driving."

"I enjoyed the gardens
I was getting peckish, so when a duck crossed our path, I had to be restrained."


"We did have a good meal though.
After lunch, I did a spot of tree climbing."


"I also found a tiny garden just my size, how thoughtful. And the plant in front of me was called bloody crane's bill. Which opened my appetite again. "

Tea Time in Retailia.
 "On the way back, we stopped so I could have a snap taken with the image of the Queen, the other one, who celebrated her diamond Jubilee last weekend. I missed it by a whisker, unfortunately. Apparently, Dean, Le Marquis De Banana, attended the ceremonies. He is a friend of mine too, as I met him in Paris, France."
What a fantastic first royal adventure in Retailia, Kitty Kawaii! I love your matching hat and scarf, it is, how they say, "très chic"! I'm sorry to hear that you missed your dear friend, Dean, Le Marquis De Banana, but there were a lot of fireworks, I believe, so maybe in hindsight...well...

Breaking News! ZKK (Mark2) Has Arrived In Retailia!

After an uneventful trip, due to the diligence of Canada Post, Zombie Kitty Kawaii! (Mark 2) has finally made it to Retailia. Says Martha I, our newest correspondent:

"ZKK has arrived, thanks to the letter of introduction and the passport in order there was no problem with immigration. She had to be scanned though, in case she was a zombie terrorist but all was well. Despite being quite jet-lagged, she had to snoop around my art things, but now she is lying in her bed trying to sleep, still with her eye open, a bit too excited to relax. We are just as excited and will celebrate with a nice meal in an Italian restaurant this evening."

Snooping Around.
Sleeping with one eye open, as always...
We're all glad that she's made it to you safely and that she wasn't mistaken for a Zombie terrorist. A Zombie terror maybe...but in any case, we look forward to tonight's celebrations!

Zombie Mini Kawaii! in The IronMan Competition!

Yes, you read it correctly! Our wee Zombie Kat decided to attempt the IronMan Competition in Florianópoli, Brazil last week. She did rather well, apparently. Photos, video (Yes! Video!) and commentary by Lilian Mariutti:

Everything read! ZMK and the Capibara are going to Florianópolis together!

 She behaved very well during the flight, despite the delay of almost 2 hours....

Recognizing the area....
...the view from the apartment...

...interesting mail boxes...

...a garden decoration...

Next day (Thursday):
Swim training...the worst part for Zombie Mini Kawaii!

Going to the beach!
 Posing in front of the "restinga"

The Athletes area.
 Ready to swim!!!!! Well....

...it was a little bit cold...so, she decided just to observe.....

...the nice beach....full of tasty brains....

 PPTTHH!*
*OH!!!! Sand!!!! Help!!!!!!!

...then....a little jogging with her new BFF: the Capibara!

And both wanted to catch the black bird!


Friday....
24 hours of boring rain...

...so, we just went to get the athletes kit...
 
 Saturday:
Preparing the bike!

Bike check in.

The Transition area.

As always....I am never able to take pictures in the great day :)
But....
After long 12:32h....
Zombie Mini Kawaii! was declared:
 an IRONZOMBIE!!!!!

Crossing the finish line:
We are the ones after the big family in orange t-shirts. My husband is with a blue triathlon uniform, and I am the one in a white t-shirt!
Here is the link to the video:

But, where was Zombie Mini Kawaii!? She was celebrating her victory of course!!
So, there you have it Zombie Kat fans! Who would have ever thought that a cardboard Kat could ever become an IronMan (or Ironzombie) contender? And with this, we thank our beloved host, Lilian, for such great adventures in Brazil and ending with such a great big finish worthy of any IronMan (or IronZombie, for that matter.)!
