I bought my second wig at a downtown wig store and I had made up my mind that I would not get a blonde wig because I was of the opinion that all the transvestites wore blonde wigs!
On this occasion, I was double-teamed by two young saleswomen who convinced me to buy a blonde wig because they thought the blonde wig was definitely me! Who was I to argue with professionals, so I bought the blonde pageboy wig that I wore a few times and hated it.
I bought my third wig at a wig store in a strip mall and I wanted to go red because when I was young, my hair was red, so I assumed I was a natural redhead. The mature saleswoman did not try to change my mind and I went home a satisfied customer.
I stuck with red/auburn wigs for a long time. When I occasionally strayed, I always went back to red.

| My "perfect" wig |
This was the same strip mall wig store where I bought my first red wig. The only difference was that now the saleswoman was the daughter of the previous saleswoman/owner.
So I performed my hostess duties and after all the girls had a chance to try on and buy wigs, the saleswoman said it was my turn. I had not planned to buy a new wig, but the saleswoman did not have to twist my arm. So I sat in the hot seat while the saleswoman fetched the wig that she said was perfect for me.
She returned with a blonde wig. In my mind, I was determined not to buy a blonde wig, but after she put it on my head and I got a look at myself in the mirror, I agreed: it was perfect for me.
Since then, I have stuck with blonde wigs. When I occasionally strayed, I always went back to blonde.
And so it goes.

A superb life story Stana, and something we can all relate to.

I'll show my age (but it WAS in reruns). When I saw wighistory I was trying to figure out what the word was. And now I am thinking about Ed Norton and his string of poloponies...
ReplyDeleteAfter a number of years, I'm still looking for a wig that I love! Definitely difficult for me.

That "perfect" wig certainly does suit you perfectly! I've often thought that a poor quality wig was the easiest way to tell that something was different about a person.
ReplyDeleteI bought my first wig at the time the vast majority of cross-dressers probably bought their first wigs: Halloween. I was working out of town and decided to take a chance to muscle up some courage. I went to Kmart and was assisted by a young sales clerk. She was helpful and I tried it on in a changing room as I was not too sure about trying it on where I could be seen. The wig was shoulder length brunette. My second wig was a short curly blond wig; again using the Halloween ruse. Now, since I am a senior with white hair, not grey, its a shoulder length grey wig.
