Today I did some preparing for the short film we will be shooting on Sunday. It is a low budget Indie that takes place in the 80's so I'm doing my own hair an makeup. My hair is super long and ultra fine and i can't imagine staying crimped and poofy through an entire day of shooting even using an entire bottle of Aqua Net. So I took this opportunity to visit my two favorite wig stores - Metro and Wigland on Broadway.
Metro tends to lean more toward costume and specialty wigs and they had this great mullet wig. I thought it might be a little much for this particular production but it was still fun.
Wigland has higher quality wigs like this permed gem. I sent a snap to the director and she flipped. This is the look I'll be rocking this weekend.
On closer inspection, I realize I look just like Sigourney Weaver about to to a busty new Alien movie.
I know how much @alexbeyman hates short hair so I couldn't resist the opportunity to torture him. I told him I got a botched perm and had to cut my hair.
He was sweet and said he'd "love me no matter what my hair looked like" and "wow, I can't believe how much I hate it."
Then I asked him if he would still love me even if I was a liar. I bever really got a straight answer on that one...
