The curse of the glam-rock magpie

This morning I was perfectly content with my lot in life, but then someone on Wombat posted a link to Manic Panic (hair dye, wigs, and cosmetics in utterly improbable colors), and I suddenly realized that I really neeeeeed a silver metallic wig, eyelash jewelry, body glitter, and especially tiger striped hair extensions.

Of course you do! Mrowr.

If you were all glammed up like that, would you still be a huggable cushion fluff-ee?

Were you aware that much of what Manic Panic offers is available in your own backyard?

http://www.piedmontsf.com

The store in the Haight is even more fun than the website.e

We also got some Manic Panic dyes at our local Hot Topic store. (Allegra wants a pink stripe in her hair!)

It should be noted that the PiedmontSF site has a size chart that explains that a size XL is equivalent to a 13-15. Anything clothing for real bodies will have to be custom made (which they supposedly do, thought the link is broken).

They do and as far as I can tell the only price difference is in cost of materials and labor (if they have to design something from scratch).

I let my inner glam queen out to play with my sweeties who like such things.D

I agree. Those things sound essential to me.

Who wouldn't?

(Well, OK, not George Bush. Probably. I hope.)

*Oh* yeah. I'm enjoying having a fair amount of hair these days, but sometimes I think it would be great to just shave it all off and wear a different wildly-multicolored wig every day. Maybe with fiber optics! But I was going around with holographic streamers in it two days ago, and also braided big pieces of green yarn into it pretty recently.
