Wigging out...

I'm going on vacation. Yup, three glorious, uninterrupted weeks of lay about-wake up when I want-bathe-don't bathe-eat-eat-eat-(did I mention eat?)-drop the kids off with the grandpas and the grandmas-and just generally relax-vacation. Anyway, since I'm going to an extremely hot and humid climate, I had to figure out what to do with my hair. I thought about braids but that would just be dumb. It would cost me about $120 to braid my hair here but if I braid in Nigeria...it's like $9. So then I thought...au naturale? Au hell no! Hmmm...a weave? Eh...I could take it or leave it but, I really do not want any of my hair out and I sooo detest that obviously stitched together enclosure I see on the crown of some of the more uncouth femme fatale who venture into the world of the un-beweavable.

So then I thought...wigs. Duh! And I remember a friend of mine saying she wears wigs all the time but she sews them on. Perfecto. I could buy a nice wig, sew it on and be done. It would have to be a really nice quality human hair piece, something I could tease and tangle and just have fun with. Not too long or too thick...a nice cropped, sexy angled bob would do. So I headed to the wig shop and dropped a grip on a cute two toned piece that almost fit the exact bill of what I was looking for. And then I went to the hair salon to get it sewn on and was informed it would cost me almost twice what i paid for the freaking hair. Oh no she didn't. So yours truly, as industrious as ever decided to take a first hand stab at it and sew it on herself (I'm funny like that, I'll spend a grip on an item and then cheap out on labor...I'm kind of a do it yourself gal).

Well here is the finished product, not too shabby if I say so myself, in fact I'm quite pleased considering I haven't even attempted to style it yet...waddya think?
