My Fetish

I have to admit, I have a bit of a wig fetish taking over my life at the moment.

I have been purchasing wigs from the US (Las Vegas) for a year now, and now I've moved up from one or two international purchases, to much, much more at a single time!

Last night, I was getting ready for our show at Stonewall Hotel when Cleo Coupe walked in with my order... Eleven wigs from her recent trip to Hong Kong!

I'm not totally at fault, as she did offer to shop for wigs and jewellery for all her friends. She had also said the wigs were $30 AUD each (info she had from her previous trip), which is a sh*t-load cheaper than here in Australia - or anywhere else for that matter!

So how could I resist!? I rattled off a list of things I wanted and waited eagerly..

The reality of having 11 wigs turn up as "yours" in the dressingroom, gave me a wake up call.

In my defense, most of them are doubles (i.e. two of the same styled brown, pink, yellow, caramel, burgundy wigs), plus a single "Liza Minelli" wig. Essentially, it will really only add 6 wigs in the end to my collection.

**Hanging Head In Shame**

I haven't told you all the truth though. I did have a larger order, but it was not able to be filled by Cleo. I feel like I should be attending Wig-a-holics anonymous!

In any case, I think I'll now concentrate on getting more costumes made for the those many new wigs I've purchased. That sounds sensible!

I'll keep you all informed if I fall off the wagon and get another new wig.. Your support would be appreciated! Hehehe..

In the meantime, I'll have to run a 2.5 metre shelf between my two wardrobes to safely store my wigs on their head blocks. Space is rare in a studio apartment, and I'm loosing surface area with each wig I buy, so I need to take some action and to store these wigs safely and efficiently.

Well I'm off to clean up the apartment and do some Japanese study.

Big day tomorrow - Stonewall Hotel Cruise after work. Lots of drunk drag queens on a boat.. One word: SCARY! (And I'll remember it all cos I'll probably be the only one not drinking!) I'll take my camera - I'm sure it will be a hoot!
