Title: Wigs For Fun
Post by: austinsly on September 13, 2010, 09:05:59 PM
I've always thought wearing different wigs would be kinda fun, just to kinda be a different person for a little bit. And this really has nothing to do with being bald. Although, it seems like wigs might fit better on a completely shaven head. So, doing this would be a fun thing, not something to cover up being bald. Does anyone do this? I'd love to wear a sweet looking mullet wig, business in the front, party in the back style.

Not something I'd consider.

Haha, yeah I guess it goes with my joking type of personality. Not sure how often I would actually do it...

Wigs are fun but that mullet wig is stupid and it's not to cover being bald! Actually wigs are more itchy with a shaven head than with a full head of hair.

The idea never crossed my mind.

If I wanted hair up there, I wouldn't have shaved my head in the first place.

'Nuff said.

Ryan: I don't understand.

Kevo: you are probably right about the itch factor on the bald head, although I'm sure there is a way to get around that. An afro would be another sweet one. Dude the mullet look is a good one too!

I know halloween is coming up soon and there should be plenty of wigs to choose from, but I'm sure the quality will be low. I know of one wig shop I drive by all the time but I bet they cost way too much.

Noodles: I'm not talking about all the time, just when the mood strikes me. Anyways, it was just a thought.

Ryan: I don't understand.

The fact that a topic such as this is even mentioned and entertained on this forum IMO is just beyond lame.

austinsly, by all means wear a wig, make sure you say "It rubs the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again" while your sporting it.

Ryan, come on, relax. Are you telling me wigs are not a valid topic of discussion for this site? I mean, I know this site is all about being bald and proud, but I did not think anyone would think it was silly or ofensive to discuss objectively about wigs for christ's sake. I'm sorry if it offended, bothered or annoyed you.

No need to apologize, you're right about wigs being discussed here on the forum, by members who have basically broke away from wearing one. You're talking about wearing different wigs as if you're going out to have a good time and you also mentioned that it had nothing to do with being bald......

I don't find the topic or the discussion offensive but I do find this portion of your statement offensive:

for christ's sake.


Let's try to keep it civil guys. If you don't like the topic just move along......... no rules have been broken.

As a costume for Mardi Gras or Halloween, yeah-could be fun.  I've seen "toupees" in costume shops that were so unmercifully bad that they were funny--then you see some jerk on the street thinking he's got the world fooled and he's wearing something almost as bad.  Then, there are the Washington politicians & Hollywood actors who obviously wear some of the worst rugs on the planet--they look so hard they could double as battle helmets--but then maybe that's the reason they do it.

If you guys ever make it to Austin you will no doubt see bumper stickers and shirts around town that read "Keep Austin Weird". Now you'll know what they mean.

I've got mine, got when my youngest was at UT Austin.  Great, really great town, good food, good music, great things to do--it's my kind of weird.  IMO, other than the San Antonio-Austin/hill country, the only other good thing coming out of Texas is the I-10 >:D.

Perhaps this should have been posted in Crazy things you want to do (http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=12722.0). ;)

Thats not what all those folks running from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were saying when we most graciously opened up our hearts, doors and wallets to help them out when they were in need. Oh well.....we expect this type of attitude from certain types of people.

Speaking of wigs, I have a co-worker who has a (really cheap) "Thomas Magnum" wig (toupee) which kind of goes along with his vintage Ferrari.  I asked him if I could borrow "them" one time to show off to my wife-ie.  At first he thought it would be fun, but then reality set in...nobody drives his sportscars but him.  :Xo!

Life is too short to concern myself with such trivial matters.   O0  He just hasn't figured that one out.  8)

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea, my wife-ie might actually "like" the look, and I don't want to put THOSE ideas in her head. :/O

Are you for real? You've got to be kidding me.    :/O
