Seven Wigs from Hong Kong
On a lark, I decided to do an eBay search on wigs and I found out that you can get all sorts of brand new wigs from Hong Kong. There were some pretty cool wigs listed and their started bids were dirt cheap. It looks like the wig manufacturers in China and Japan are selling the wigs directly, as they come sealed with tags.
I decided, what the hell, I'll place ridiculously low bids on a bunch of wigs and see what happens. I'll be out bid but that's okay; I'll get an idea of what these auctions end up closing for. By ridiculously low, I mean like anywhere between 99 cents and $10.
As soon as I placed the bids, Kathy and I had to leave for a dinner with our realtor. When we came home, I went to the computer to see what happened and found that I had won seven wigs. SEVEN!
I tell you, I laughed for the longest time.
The coolest thing is that these are very spy-like wigs, the kind that you would wear in a JJ Abrams nightclub rendezvous scenario. I don't know how comfortable they will be, but even with the high shipping charges ($12-15 per wig, which I knew in advance) they certainly didn't break the bank. I know I'm not going to be fooling anyone in a wig...I'll simply be in disguise.
The next challenge will be finding the appropriate accent for each wig. Because I've always said, if you're a spy you don't actually need to learn languages...just mastering the accent appears to be enough! Or, so Sydney Bristow has taught me.
Without further ado, the seven wigs:

Lovely, eh?
But I'm pretty sure that I need more! |
