The Wig Shop....for real.

Some of the gals at the wig shop know me and Lucy by name now. I am now the proud owner of 3 wigs- 4 if you count the shocking pink wig I bought for halloween many years ago at Limbo. Just be ready the next time you see me- I may look completely different from the last time you saw me.

The first wig shop we visited was just plain creepy. It was small and CROWDED with wig adorned styrofoan mannequin heads. I wonder if there is a technical/official name for the little white ladies that wear the hair for display. I wonder if you go to a wig shop that sells wigs and hair pieces for ladies who are african american- if the little heads have darker "skin".

I tried on a few wigs at the creepy place and they were certain that I should have a wig made out of human hair. The cheapest one was $679.00. The human hair was nice and soft and pretty glamorous. I was told that human hair wigs are high maintenance. They must be washed and styled with products just like you would wash and style your real hair. They can be cut into any style you can dream up. But man- the pressure. If I paid $670.00 for some hair, it gets cut, and i don't like it- I can't just wait a week and let it grow out a little bit. I can keep cutting I guess.

 So, we did not walk out of the first wig shop with any new hair. Here are some pics from that experience:

 As my friend Deanna pointed out when she saw the long hair pic, what's up with the lady stuck behind the trash can?
