I've never bought full wigs...but I religiously patron http://www.ragdolly.net for other hair stuff.

actually that's the place I got my extensions for Shiva. ^_^ I plan to get the extensions I need for this wig from them, but I need a base wig to start from. ^_^

If I were you I'd just traipse on in to the local wig shop.

Trying them on makes a huge difference. And sometimes you get nice deals.

That's the only way I've ever bought wigs...not to mention that it's culturally intriguing because I have yet to go to a wig shop and not notice that the owners are Asian. Very interesting.

wigs?

I've bought a few things from hairmenow....very polite, pretty good products! I did a quick search in the store, but her orange wigs are pretty short, but at least not clown ones. If you asked, she'd look though, i'm sure. =^-^=

so often they're expensive in the hollywood area though,... but I'll probably go down there later this week if I don't find something super cheap online. ^_^

I order quite often from witchwigs.com, but I can't say they're terribly cheap, depending on what you're looking for. Great quality, though.

I KEEP forgetting to ask you this ('cause I'm dumb), but since I remembered now... ^_^

When you dressed up as Shiva, what type of make-up did you use? Was it hard to apply? Did it smudge on things?
I've never coated myself with paint before (^_^), so I'd like to do it right the first time!

I don't know if by "big" you mean poofy or just long, but http://amphigory.com has a good selection of 42 inch wigs for $45, which is the cheapest I've ever seen a wig of that length.

I used Aqua paint from Cinema Secrets, but they don't carry it on their website. I've also used Ben Nye. I didn't have much trouble with the Aqua stuff, (ie rubbing off on things) but that's always something to be concerned about.

For E-bay, don't use XXXotica. Slow shipping, slow/no e-mail. However, the wig was cheap; that's something. It better damn well get here before September 20. *rage*

if this is for millenia, i cant stress enough HOW you should talk to katie bair about what she used for advice. holy crap...her millenia wig is OUTSTANDING.

id email her for advice! shes so awesome! i already swore if i ever made millenia, id just buy the wig from her...i cant compete with that!! @_@

Hi

What kind of wig are you looking for? I mean, when you say big and long, is that frizzy and long? I know someone who can make you a wig that is orange and has long straight hair. But you'll have to tell me what type of style you're looking for so that I can ask... *_* And then I'll get back to you on the cost.

I'll probably be able to take a pic of the orange at the end of the week when I receive my wigs for Razkil--one of them is the orange colour.

Re: Hi

[rukiyo.livejournal.com]

oh! coooooL!

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I loooove her wig! I emailed her asking her for a few tips, but I havent heard back from her. I don't blame her though, I mean, it's her business!

I'd be tempted possibly to buy other wigs from her as well because other than wrapping foam, I'm not great at styling wigs. so I think I could do Millenia, but I love a ton of the other stuff she's done too (like the whispy ones!)

Hi Aimee,
I just wanted to ask you when your Tale of the Lair #2 will come out. I bought the 1st and I can't wait for the second >.<
By the way, I added you as a friend =P
