Coveting. OH MY GOD, THE COVETING.

[cupcake_goth]

If I had a spare $500 (plus shipping) to blow on a completely frivolous item, I would get myself this:



::flails, looks longingly at picture, flails some more::

The clicky-link to the Etsy listing!

I'm not kidding. I covet that wig SO MUCH. I have wanted a a completely over-the-top, Marie Antoinette -style wig, IN PINK, for years and years. When and where would I wear it? I DON'T KNOW^*. I DON'T CARE. I want it. Badly.




^*Photo shoots. The Vampire Ball. If I ever managed to get to WGT or Whitby Gothic Weekend. AROUND THE HOUSE JUST BECAUSE I COULD.

I can totally see you vacuuming or doing dishes in it.

[gloomsan.livejournal.com]

I totally agree. I can actually see her wearing it out shopping :)

[noxenlux.livejournal.com]

Lovely stuff in that shop! :D

[bittergourd.livejournal.com]

And it TOTALLY rock with one of your hats. :D

There are very few words that describe utter delicousness that is that wig. I have a black Marie Antoinette wig that I occasionally wear out with jeans and a tee shirt for pure amusement.

P will kill me for this, but they're not that hard to make. Seriously.

Two of these: http://cdn.costumesupercenter.com/csc_inc/images/items/480x600/268FrenzyHP.jpg , a pair of scissors, some thread, clear hair bands and ribbon. Two hours, tops.

She is charging for her time, as well she should, but it's not hard. You just have to understand the physics of how they fit on your head and the technique for styling spun plastic.

EEeeeeeeee!

You are going to try to make one, aren't you?

. . . . . I want one in either blue or purple.

Here is a HOW to make it from a wig thing with good photos.

Epic. Absolutely epic.

For I do believe my eyes have joined Peev's on the floor, after they rolled RIGHT OUT OF MY HEAD.

(which is not to say that if I got my hands on a Revolution-era men's wig in over-the-top silver-white, I wouldn't do what you're doing...)

The wig is nice, but.....THE SHOES! I seriously need these: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34620301

Where the hell was this kind of stuff when I got married dammit! I had to have shoes made because this stuff could not be found anywhere and I looked!

I have an SCA Ducal coronet that I wear around the house, because I'm not an SCA duchess, but I have a nifty hat. I wear it around the house when I want that little pick-me-up of I am the queen, dammit!

You know I have a friend who styles wigs.

[kibarika.livejournal.com]

All I can think is, "It would take so many pins to keep it on!"

This inspired by my experience in this wig:

(Jilli, you should be able to see that, but anybody who's not my friend won't.)

Holy carps!

There are possibly medications in my future that have hair loss as one of the more common side effects. If that comes to pass, I totally need a winning lottery ticket or other (for good reasons) windfall o'cash, because I just found the wig(s) that would adorn my balding head.

Dang.

D, if that ever happens, we'll have to work out a hair-for-fashion exchange. ;)

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Is it taller than your top hats?

[krypt-kitten.livejournal.com]

I think this should go under the "need" category. Just sayin'! ;)

[shirtlifterbear.livejournal.com]

I say to you:

"Fab-u-lous."

It is so VERY.

Which means, of course, that you must have it!

[jaborwhalky.livejournal.com]

If every one on your FL paypal a $1.50 you would have the money to buy that wig and another .

A $1.50 is cheeper then buying you a cup of coffee or drink at a club and I know most of the people who read your LJ would love to buy you a drink so if they just paypal you the buck 50 you could have this wig... You need to have this wig as I want to see the photo of when you make your hubby wear it .
