This could be very exciting!

So, those of you who know me in real life (I may have mentioned it here, too. Not positive), know that I've been growing my hair out for this Nutcracker thing I do. And I hate it. I don't look good with long hair. It's just a pain in my ass and yuck. For me, long hair is at my chin. I know. But that's not long! Yes, it is. When your preferred hairstyle is a slightly longer pixie? Anything past my ears is long. Anyway, I had been contemplating looking into getting a wig I was getting so fed up with my long-ass hair. But everything I could find online was, frankly, ugly and too expensive. Well, I went to lunch with a friend of mine, and she has a wig. It's just a plain long, blonde wig. So, I'm gonna get it from her and see if I can get it to do what I need it to do to become an 18th century woman's hairdo. If it works, and the director accepts it, I might be able to chop off all my hair! Yay!!!

Try a shop called Transformations on Arlington Heights Road, just past where it hits 14 in Arlington Heights on the movie theater side of the tracks.

They will let you try the wigs on, and they have large selection, or they did when I was there some years ago. The catch: most clients are women with cancer, men becoming/dressing like women, and theater people. Technically you might be theater people, but since this is a ballet, maybe not. Anyhow, they used to have loads of wigs and maybe they still do, and it's walking distance from your apartment.

I thought about that. (And it's actually not right down the street since we moved. :-D). But I really don't have the spare cash to spend right now. So, if I can get one for free and make it work, all the better! :-)
