A Happy Wig Customer & A Gorgeously Gothy Costume

I keep meaning to post more pictures of wigs that I’ve custom made for clients, but I’ve had a hard time remembering to get nice photos out of people. (If you’re reading this and you’ve got nice pics of you in your wig, I’d love to feature them!).  Luckily my friend Tara was on the ball and sent me photos right away!

Tara went to New Orleans for Halloween, and put together a fabulous costume.  Jenn of Ruby Raven made the gown and tricorn, and then Tara hired me to make her a wig.  She ended up deciding on a medium-tall pouf with lots of ringlets, in black with one white streak.  The whole costume turned out glorious — so much so that Tara won first prize in the costume contest at the Witches Ball!

I would love to take a costume trip to New Orleans sometime, but in the meantime, let’s all admire how fabulous Tara looks:
