I got home from the opera early today, so I took the opportunity to start working on my skit costume wig!
Right now it looks like either GARcher or Godot, but I haven't added the braid or the OBVIOUS BANGS, which will make it more unique. Just spikes and nonsense but I'm still really proud because styling wigs is seriously my weakest point.

Okay, we've killed enough time with guessing, time to announce! For our skit, Sonnya and I are doing costumes from Happy Happy Magical Steamroller-chan's Adventures...
I mean..Jojo's Bizarre Adventure!
Starring Renee as Giorno Giovanna, and Sonnya as Jolyne Kujo!

Ooh, that looks great so far! Enjoying your hairspray fumes? Because it looks like you have a can of OMG AEROSOL 80S next to that wig.

If you want to thin the ends/make them less blunt (which is something I like on spikey wigs, you may not), get a pair of thinning shears. They're the sexiest most UNF things in the known wig styling universe, and you can even get them at a pet supply store because people use them on dogs and horses. I loooove them, they make all edges look nice and not-blunt and you can even cut directly at the scalp of a wig with them and not have the wig super fucked up.

Can you tell I take every opportunity ever to squee about those wonderful things? :D

Also, you're lucky I can't find a good pic of Godot right now, or I'd shoop a Godot mask onto the wig head.

I have like...a Phoenix Wright folder thats verging on half a gig o_o

I mean, most of it is /cm/ and /y/ stuff, hehehe....but your suggestion is all kinds of amazing.

Also, the thinning shears is a brilliant idea, but there's like...half a bottle of tacky glue in the wig already so it might be a little too late :/

Even better, put the wig on your head and take a pic and THEN shoop a Godot mask onto it.

You can always try? But it's worth getting a pair anyway, they're the only reason I don't fuck up wigs more often. :D

Yo, so I went to Pathmark today and picked up real hair cutting scissors and some bands, although I seem to have lost some pretty delicious clear elastics that I need.

I tested the braids out, and need more, SO LOL.

Come over tomorrow for wig styling party, your wig clamp is invited, jerk. Unless you have lame rehersals tomorrow.
