Hallowig

Ahh it is that time of year. The air is crisp, the coats and scarves come out, and yes yes it is time for one of my favorite holidays, Halloween.

Why do I like Halloween? I don't know really, just like dressing up as someone else for a night I suppose. I am not into those sexy halloween costumes, no thanks, I'd rather be something hilarious.

Well in honor of my favorite holiday, let's take a look at some halloween wigs that are for sale as I was looking for my perfect wig for my look (Topsy Tail).

First up, yes you've guessed it. The Kate Gosselin Wig:



The actual hairdo and wig are pretty dead on I have to say. I wonder how many of those I will see Saturday night.

While looking for my wig, I stumbled upon this beauty. This is called the Blonde Seduction Wig (comes in brunette and black as well).



What makes this a seduction wig? That's my question. I don't know any woman that actually has this hairdo or any man that is seduced by this head of hair. Looks more like Brenda Walsh's fantasy do than anything (see past entry for fantasy do).

Here is a blonde mullet do. Ummmmmmm this more looks like an elvis do with some long strands attached. I don't get it. If it got rid of the chops and maybe shortened the poof, maybe? From far away I thought this was something from the Rennaissance era.



Lastly, I think this is the wig of choice for my Topsy Tail Costume. It looks like I could easily put this in a topsy tail do and it has the weird bangs too. This is called the 80s soap opera wig:



If anyone has any suggestions on something that would work better, please let me know. I am open to all!

Mad Men in ROME

Ok I forgot I wanted to post about Mrs. Draper's do after watching this episode of Mad Men. Luckily there is a youtube.



I love everything about her look here. That is all. I should do a proper Mad Men post, but this is good for now.

Vintage Hair

I was looking around on the internet for vintage hair partly because I want to learn how to do pin curls in my hair and partly because I just like looking at vintage anything really.

I found a website that dedicates itself to vintage hair and accessories AND you can also buy vintage hair items and magazines. It is called www.hairarchives.com - It is pretty awesome.

So let's go a through a few of my favorites.

First if I become a bride and have long hair. I might want to this:



Although I am sure no one will be able to do this for me, but hey you never know. I can dream right?

I like how this website has a link called the Pink Room. It is for Coiffures. However, I am totally not into this look:



This is a case of a flip gone toooo far. Pretty girl like that doesn't need a major flip. Something subtle with a big poof ontop would have just been fine.

I really have yet to go to an event where I needed an updo, but if I were to get one AND again had long hair, it would definitely be this:



Perfection in its finest.

Mini do thought: Also, since we are on the subject of vintage hair, I have to state that I despise the over usage of the term "old hollywood glamour". It seems like every one in Hollywood, at every event, is striking up 'old hollywood glamour' looks. I don't know, can't they say they are just loving her look without referring to it as such? It makes it seem like every stylist is reliving this look for their clients over and over again. Mini do thoughts.

Also for anyone that read my post on the hair museum - I think it was this site that explained that a hair watch is ACTUALLY just a watch made of hair. So you don't wear it in your hair, its just made of hair which I guess was a popular thing to do back in the day.

Au Revoir!

PS - Coiffures are french so even though its not a post about French hair entirely, its included somewhat!

Tails from Hell

Above you can see the link that I read on gawker a few weeks ago. I wanted to post it but forgot to. This article says that the rattail is making a comeback in NYC for hipsters that think its cool? I don't really know.

Attention men of NYC: I am so sick of seeing extremely attractive men that move from some farmland in east bumblefuck to come to NYC and do the following.

1. Become emaciated almost immediately
2. Stop showering
3. Grow a beard to an ungodly length
4. Stop dressing nicely to look like every other dirtbag
5. Personality completely changes. Once a sweet young man to a total aloof dickhead

I could probably go on as I have seen this happen all of the time. I just ask that you do not let the following picture start happening, or I am definitely moving.

I love submissions

What I love most is when people who believe in my site send me actual photos. I will have to thank my brother for this post. He sent this to be about a week or 2 weeks ago I can't recall, but I am finally finding time to post about this.

First up is this fine young gentleman.



This is a toughy. While I am anti-mullet, it could be like a Ghost World situation where the guy with the mullet was totally hilarious and amazing. What if I met this guy, and he was the coolest person on earth? I mean I don't know where this man is living, but I am assuming it is not around here. It takes confidence to rock this look. Either that or him and all of his friends look like this.

You have to really like a mullet to make it this severe and bleached blonde no less (from what I can tell since it is a black and white picture).

That being said, LBH, I hate it. Plain and simple and to the point. It is the anti-arousal haircut. Thats what I am calling the mullet from now on.

Next up is probably a pretty well known photo that has been on email blasts. If you haven't seen it, it involves a pretty good laugh none the less.



Anyone that does that to their child's hair needs mental help. I hope this was just a picture just for the fun of it and not a serious photo. Although lets be honest, when I was younger I did have a do similar to this. That's what happened when you are a child in the 80s and your parents let you have your own look. I should have been restricted in some way. Mine was more of a feathered mullet though.

This is making me think of doing a best of and worst of 2009 list for hairdos. I have time before the end of the year. I like this idea. BTW after reading some past entries, I think I really am going to be topsy tail for Halloween. If I am I will definitely post some pictures.
