Anyone who knows Tameri Etherton knows she’s very sparkly. Seriously, she’s funnier than hell and she lights up a room…especially when she’s wearing her hot pink wig.
We had a WANA gathering not so long ago where she brought that hot wig you see above. Not only did it make the rounds (almost everyone HAD to try it on), but she’s started a movement that has extended to next week’s DFW Writers Conference. (Click here to see more photos like the ones below.)
Gloria Richard has bought a cobalt blue one, and my (awesome, wonderful) friend Tameri has bought this magical thing for ME. Squeeeee!
My hubby is gonna lose his mind when he sees me in this thing. 🙂
Addendum: Tameri sent out a packing picture and I went shrieking around my house. Isn’t it GORGEOUS???
Do you have any fun wigs (or other costumes) we need to hear about? Where do you wear them? Are you going to the DFW Conference next week? If so, let’s talk about the party we need to plan for Saturday night! [All ideas accepted: Whether you’re attending the conference or not…you will be there in spirit.] Enquiring minds need to know these things here at More Cowbell!!

Double Announcement! I had a blond week moment and forgot to give out the Cowbell bumper sticker last weekend, so tomorrow in the “X” post, I’ll award both weeks. Stay tuned…

Perhaps he’d prefer a mustache to color coordinate with his

Ha! I’m loving that gorgeous wig on you! 😀 I gave away all my wigs (I had a lot, thanks to the amount of theatre I used to do), but I have a crown and a tiara I haven’t seen in almost a year. They’re buried (carefully) in storage until I resettle. While the crown is a bit over the top for everyday wear, I’m a firm believer that tiaras are suitable for most any occasion. 🙂

I used to have a purple wig for a Halloween costume and I loved that thing until it became a tangled mess. And when I was little I had a red one (for my Ariel costume) and I would wear it all the time. The last time I had a costume-y thing was a few years ago when I was ML for the local NaNoWriMo – I had a hair band with big flames coming from it (I was Katniss “the girl on fire” for Halloween that year) and I would wear it at all the write-ins so the newbies would know I was the one in charge. My minions wore hair bands with devil horns on them >:)

While I don’t utilize wigs, my daughter has started doing cosplay when she goes to anime cons, so we have a store house of wigs in our study. You can look here to see a couple of examples of her wigs and costumes. We have the rainbow wig for her Rainbow Dash costume, a short black one for the Ciel Phantomhive costume, then a long black one, a long red one, and a short purple one. I imagine the collection will continue to grow, because she’s always finding a new character she wants to portray. Fun!
