For Event on May 23

Big Wig Out Planned for Bellingham on May 23

A small group of fun-loving locals are making plans for the 2nd Annual Big Bellingham Wig Out, a day in which all residents of the area are encouraged to…wear a wig!

The Wig Out is planned for Friday during the Ski-to-Sea weekend. The informal all-ages event was inspired, according to planners, by a woman who used to work in a mortgage company downtown. She came to work each day in a different wig, and often a matching costume, a “welcome sign of attitude and audacity in an area dominated by suits and blue jeans”, according to Wig Out co-planner Kate Clark. “I was talking with my co-workers, as well as my sister, Alice, and we realized that there were a lot of us who liked seeing someone who dared to dress just as she pleased. The idea of the Wig Out came to us as the perfect way for all of us to take ourselves a little less seriously, to lighten up and build some community around just having fun. We found some other like-minded folks and the Wigsters were born.”

Everyone is encouraged to wear a wig (or toupee) on May 23, all day, to work as well as to the Wig Walk, an informal promenade route on the sidewalks of downtown in the late afternoon. The Walk will culminate at a Wig Out Party at the Radio Museum, 1312 Bay Street, with super-funky dance music, and Wiggy Awards for the best wigs in a variety of categories, including Most Outrageous Wig, Best Handmade Wig, and Best Wee Wig in the children’s category.

Additional plans include the Wig Patrol coming to local offices where wigs are being worn to show on a big screen at the Wig Out Party, and an eventual effort to be entered in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most wigs worn on the same day in one town.

A wig was sent to Britney Spears and invitations to Oprah and Ellen. Some wigs will be available at the party for those who are wigless.

Choosing the right wig for your face

Wondering what style best fits the shape of your face? Wonder no longer!

Did you know there are only 6 types of face shapes?

Deviouswigs.com reveals all. Check it out:

Oval face shape – The oval shaped face is characterized by the evenly proportioned features. It is longer than it is wide, with the jaw narrower than the cheekbones. This shaped face looks good with just about any hairstyle, length or texture. Now color on the other hand, is a totally different topic.

Square – The square shaped face is characterized by a wide hairline and jaw. For this shape face add height or waves to top with long sides to diffuse the square shape. Add height to the face by choosing a side part wig such as the desire wig, keeping hair off the forehead. Try curly or wavy textures or wisps of hair around the face to diffuse the wide, straight lines common to a square shaped face.

Round – The round shaped face is characterized by a wide hairline and fullness below the cheekbones. This shaped face looks good with a geometric or linear style. Choose one that hides up the “round” appearance such as the bob wig or the china wig, the sides make the cheeks look narrow. Height is a great thing with this style.

Heart – The heart shaped face is characterized by a wide forehead and a narrow chin. Disguise the width of the forehead with any length bang. Keep hair close to the front of the face all around, keeping it slightly full around the jaw and over earlobes.

Pear – The pear shaped face is characterized by a forehead that is narrower than the large jaw line. Add width from the eye level through the crown of the head. Hair should be close to the head on the sides and at the nape.

Oblong – The oblong shape face is characterized by a very long and narrow bone structure. The goal for oblong face shapes is to present an illusion of the oval shape. To create this illusion use a fringe or our bangs to cut off the forehead. Curls at the crown and nape of the neck also create the illusion of an oval shape.

Wigs throughout the ages

Did you know…..?

• Around 3000 B.C., the Egyptians wore artistic wigs for important events. At that time, the Egyptians even began to dye their own hair or wigs. Blue, green, blonde and sandy colors, as well as gold dust were most frequently used.
• Because Roman women were fascinated by blond hair, they often kept Tetonic slaves, whose blond hair was cut and made into wigs.
• During the Baroque period, the French King, Louis the 13th, (who was getting bald very early) had a curly wig made.
