Have a Kate Gosselin Halloween!

TresSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:15:44 -0700

Well, we did our best to name Kate Gosselin's haircut, aka "the Reverse Mullet." BellaSugar Gosselined herself. Even Neil Patrick Harris tried on the look for size. Now, so can you! With the Eight Is Too Much Adult Wig ($15).

I predict a sea of capri pants and cardigans this Halloween, as the reality show star becomes one of this year's most popular costumes. Would you wear this wig?

Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Talks

LilSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 07:00:06 -0700

They say kids grow up fast, but lately I'm blown away. Last week, my art obsessed daughter told me she can't wait to get a "needle" tattoo. I knew this was coming ever since she noticed mine as I stepped out of the shower a couple years ago. With wide eyes, she blurted out, "I want one," but I talked her in to waiting until she's 25. A couple days ago, she told me she "really needs a pink wig." I thought the conversation was headed toward Halloween, but she explained that it's because she's tired of having messy hair on the mornings I'm at work and my husband attempts to style it. "That way I can just put on a wig and go out," she explained. I'm considering caving on this one so she doesn't try to dye her hair.

Yesterday, she surprised me with the latest topic - sleeping with the opposite sex. A classmate told her he slept in the same bed as his girl cousin and they had a pretend wedding and kissed on the lips. In disbelief she said, "He doesn't even know that you can't marry your cousin. And, you're only supposed sleep with your boyfriend or girlfriend and kiss them on the lips!" My daughter is four and a half, I wonder what the topics of our conversations will be at 14?

Are you ever surprised by what your child talks about?

Lil Find: Wigging Out Like Celebs

babysugar — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 12:00:09 -0800

When my baby still had a bald noggin at six months old, a friend gave her the hysterical hot pink Lil Kim wig from Baby Toupee. The hair pieces are available in three other styles – The Donald (as in Trump), the Bob (as in Marley) and the Samuel L. (as in Jackson).

Clearly a conversation starter, you can whip out the outrageous hair toupees at family events, birthday parties or any other festive gatherings to get a few laughs. And, your kid can look back at the photos of their crazy coifs and know they had a cool mom.

Is This "Ho Wig" Offensive?

The long march to Halloween has begun, because dubious costume wigs are popping up on a ton of shopping sites. While looking in Drugstore.com's Halloween section, I was taken aback by this BuySeasons Ho Wig ($20). I don't like the term in general, I had no idea that fluffy black hair and red lipstick were such a crime, and I really never imagined that a marketer could look at a piece of fake hair and think "Hey, that's a wig for somebody who wants to broadcast to everyone that they're a marginalized, dehumanized figure for Halloween. She wants to be dismissed, essentialized, and treated horribly - Ho wig! Women will love it!"

What do you think? Am I overreacting, or was this thing in extremely poor taste?

Afro Doggie Diva Wig: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:50:14 -0700

OK, OK, I know you weren't fans of Kitty Wigs, and I'm sure their canine cousins don't need fake hair any more than the felines do. But, hey, Halloween is coming after all - would you purchase this Afro Doggie Diva Wig ($40) for your fur balls? Even if the answer is no, be honest, could you walk past this on the street and not crack a smile? I dare you.

For Wig or For Real? Take the Quiz

Ever wonder if some of the amazing hair celebrities sport is actually theirs? It's not, more often than you might think. From weaves to extensions to outright wigs, can you guess which of my mystery celebs is rocking the hair their mama gave them . . . and who's as fake as her tan?

Question 1 of 4

These perfectly coiffed blond locks are pretty simple, but are they real?

Which Wig Looks The Most Festive on Lily Allen?

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Wow, singer Lily Allen sure has gotten adventurous with her wig selection during Glastonbury. First we saw her wearing a platinum wig backstage and in the fields channeling Michelle Pfeiffer in a Scarface-inspired style. Then, just before she went on stage she changed into a bright pinky-purple coloured wig that reminded me of something Lady Gaga might wear. I think it's fun and certainly festive for this type of event. Which wig do you like the best on Lily?

Would You Wear a Wig?

BellaSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 12:00:06 -0700

I'm wiggin' out today. First, I saw Britney the cover of next month's (generously Photoshopped) Allure, and was entranced by her hair. Of course, it's a wig-but it looks natural and luxurious, and quite beautiful. On the other end of the spectrum are these hilarious dog wigs, which-well, you just have to see for yourself.

This got me thinking about wigs in general. I've only worn them for Halloween (Supergirl, Tippi Hedren in The Birds), so they've been ten-dollar cheapies that looked obviously fake. But high-quality wigs, which are often made of human hair, are convincing and cool. I think it would be fun to try out a Louise Brooks bob one day, then try a Farrah Fawcett feathered 'do the next. And of course, for women who've lost their hair because of cancer treatments, wigs can provide comfort and confidence (just ask Beautiful Lengths spokesperson Hilary Swank, who's growing out her hair for a wig right now). So I want to know: Would you wear a wig outside of a costume? And if so, what would you wear?

Snap, Snap, Pose: Chloe Gets a Brand New Do!

PetSugar — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 09:00:35 -0700

I know you guys rolled your eyes at the thought of a wig on a dog, but this adorable photo of Chloe's new hairdo might change your mind! I was just wondering out loud where Lauren Conrad's dog Chloe has been to a pet-loving (and Hills-loving) pal of mine (I mean, she's already accustomed to hordes of "puparazzi" following her every move), and here she is starring in her own tweet!

Lauren's been keeping a busy book tour schedule, and tweeting about her adventures while crisscrossing the country, but still finds time to have fun with her pup Chloe. Obviously, the hectic life of a star hasn't stopped Chloe from hitting the town and getting her hair done! Although I can't confirm that the wig she's wearing is in fact a Wiggles, you have to admit, it's not so bad after all right? Come on, she's smiling!

Which Wig Looks The Cutest on Britney Spears?

BellaSugar — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 07:33:26 -0700

Since Britney shaved her head, she's been having fun touring LA while wearing different color wigs. Too bad for her sake it hasn't tricked the paparazzi and given her more privacy. Most recently we've seen her with long straight blonde locks, a change from her usual medium length wavy brunette mane. Personally, I think the bobbed pink wig is a bit silly, but it's good to see that she has a sense of humor about her hair. Which wig do you think looks best on Britney?
