Wigs

I bought all new Galadriel wigs this year after wearing one for over 16 hours at Dragon*Con, including the Middle Earth dance party.

I show up at 3:18. Just look how that wig is sliding back and forth along my back!

Ugh..I cant stand wearing wigs! They slide all over the place. Bless you. You make a lovely Galadriel. =)

Thank you!

I don't have trouble with them sliding. A wig cap and about four bobby pins hold them in place nicely for me.

Galadriel's wigs are especially contentious to wear because of the length, the style, and her brooch, which was designed with enough sticky-up things to entangle the wig constantly.

They are truly a menace, but I love the look. I also like fooling people. I've sat next to people at dinner in costume and seen them the next day as myself, and they don't know who I am. I'm sure this has happened to you, too, even without wigs!

Good costumes are not always comfortable and practical.

3 rules of costume I stick to.

-I can eat and drink wearing it
-2 i can easily access and use a toilet wearing the costume.
-3 must fit in a suitcase.

Good rules. I usually eat according to what color I am wearing, though I have eaten pizza as Galadriel. More than once. ;-)
