Frankenwig

Still chugging along on getting this blog back up again.  For some reason my old pull-down blogroll list ain't workin'.  There's wierd code at the bottom of this page.  All of this takes time to fix.  Be patient still...the new interface seems to have a lot of idiosynchracies I need to get used to.

In the photo to the right is what happens when you put a big giant wig in a box for a year.  I suppose I should have left it be and go to Halloween parties as cuboid Bride of Frankenstein, but I knew some people had thrown food in the wig last year, so I wanted to give it a wash.  But I have no idea how to 'wash' a big giant drag queen wig.  Taking a shower with it didn't really help, as there's 12 layers of AquaNet in it, making it water-repellant.  So I rinsed it in a bathtub with sudsy dishwashing detergent, which seemed to relax it a bit more, and the food particles came out at least.  But I think the wig was designed to be BIG, and the hairs don't really want to relax even after the washing. 

I think I'll put on disco pants and my Xanadu shirt and go as Wild Disco Creature or something.

Oh, and Annie Lennox last night at the Lisner was very good, although I'm not sure she was worth a $125 ticket. She covered a lot of old songs and a few songs from the new album, and was very animated. The crowd consisted mainly of gay men and lesbians aged approximately 35-42. Sadly, she did not sing some of my favorites, such as 'Into the West' and 'Love is a Stranger' but she did do very fun versions of 'Sweet Dreams', 'Walking on Broken Glass', and my college coming out anthem 'Little Bird'.

And have a Happy Halloween! Boo!
