The New Wig!

Yes, indeed, I did find a wig and here are some pictures.

I think it reminds me of Martha Stewart. Or Dorothy Hamill 30 years later. It looks as if I have dark hair (which matches my eyebrows) but have lightened the top of it -- perhaps it was going gray on top?? So the roots are darker and the hair along the nape is dark.

I tried on several curly wigs, since my hair is curly, but they all looked "frowzy" and old-fashioned. So, this one is a fairly straight style on top, but it has some curl to it on the sides and the back.

Here's a second picture. (Only look at the wig, there's a very strange look/expression on my face.) You can see the darker underlay better in this one, also hopefully see that the back near the nape is very dark. It's very hip -- doesn't try to look natural at all, just light on top and dark on the bottom.

I love this wig! I think I'm never going to bother to grow my hair out -- I'll just always wear this wig! In the morning I just give it a shake and pull it on. Easier even than my no-fuss hairstyles. Well, I suppose summer swimming with a wig is not recommended. And it will probably be hot once the weather warms up. Anyway, it will do fabulously well for the next couple months.

And, no, I don't wear it all the time. It is a bit tight -- which is a good thing, one doesn't want it falling off or getting askew -- but it gives me a headache after several hours. So, I wear it when I'm going out somewhere other than my radiation appts.

Radiation is still going fine. No soreness. I am taking naps more, but then I always seem to take naps if I don't have work to do in the afternoon. Census work has stopped again for a while but will pick up again in April, we think.
