Showoff thread: My Obi-Wan costumes: Episode II, Clone Wars, Episode III

[defyitall]

Yeah it might be faster. I do a lot of events here in SoCal with the Rebel legion and I bounce between looks a lot (I also do Han Solo). So wigs are a good way to do that.

Also, sadly, I have inherited my father's hairline and my hair's a little thin on top to pull off some looks. And it just keeps getting thinner. So I am on a hunt to find great wigs for all my costumes for that inevitable day when I gotta go all Capt. Picard.

No doubt. I could think of far worse. My dad's been rocking the Patrick Stewart for quite a few years now.

Thanks for the advice. I definitely need to get more "pro" when it comes to wearing the wig. Biggest problem right now is that I use a cheap $30 costume wig that won't style. The one I just bought is better quality but has a "fuzzy" top to keep the volume. Makes my head look huge. So, $40 wasted there. Maybe I can find someone on eBay for it.

The wig hunt continues...

I usually try to find them locally first, otherwise I go through http://www.maxwigs.com/ for mine. Haven't ever bought one for my personal head, but use them for shows alot. Pretty good for pretty cheap. Sadly, pretty cheap for a good wig locally is about half that of pretty cheap on the internet.

The best thing to do is get one that has the hair laid in the direction/style you want, and cut it. Wigs tend to have the hair wefted in a certain directional pattern.

Hmmm...I wonder...
