Troy, I beg of you, please write a book, or screenplay, about The Wig. I wanted the story of The Wig to never end. It is so fascinating when an object, or piece of writing, or anything external, summons some archetype or part (that we totally don’t identify with in our day-to-day lives) from deep within our (or the collective) Shadow—and boom! We’re momentarily someone else… I love The Wig! (RIP) I also love Goldfrapp.
(And, I also have an alias called Dr. Jessica Hottenttot, so I think we could be related..? But that’s another one for the eventual DM’s)
The power of the wig is both a curse and a blessing, it brings out your inner fabulousness and also puts you in precarious....even dangerous situations! It should come with a warning label. This could be part of a sisterhood of the traveling wig? Annie Lennox, Blodnie, Goldfrap and finally Wilhelmina Hottentot! (which if you ask me is missing an "L" in helmina"....
Ah, the power of the wig, not just on others but on oneself. I wore a red Sonia Rykiel style one to a few parties (that was a long time ago, lol), with some kind of pale make-up and I swear, I WAS a different person... meaning a lot cooler than my real persona, of course. If it's not to be cooler why the heck would you do it?
Lennox is brilliant in that video. It’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen her do.
Yes, your timid, timid self.
my favorite "hair hat" moment was brett in "flight of the conchords" making his hair helmet for bike riding... :)
Were they really vampires?

I adored this post, it made my day, thank you.
