Unworn Wigs and Japantown Junk

I love wigs.  I guess I'm afraid to wear them out of the house.  I worry that they'll fall off or that people will stare.  In high school, I wore a wig for a spirit day and totally got harrassed.  One ass wipe even tugged on it!!  Anyway, here are some wigs that I've acquired recently.

#1:  The Chubby Blonde Gyaru

This is a Cyperous wig that I bought from Glamorous Sky.  It's a good style (and definitely feels gyaru) but the color doesn't totally suit me.  It sounds crazy but I think this color makes me look fat.  Also, it doesn't seem quite long enough.  I think it's my big American head.

#2: The Dark Brown Charlie's Angel

This wig (and the next) is from Wig Factory here in San Francisco.  I think the color (dark brown) and  style really suit me.  I took a chance buying this one because the display model was a different color but I wanted to buy a dark brown wig so my honey could see what I looked like with dark hair.  He'd been bugging me about trying a darker shade and I think he liked the wig.  This wig actually makes me consider dark brown hair, although I will probably maintain my light brown loyalty!

#3: The Chubby Blonde Cosplay Exotic Dancer

This wig is also in "chubby blond" but I love the thickness of it. I don't know how attractive it is on me, but I really like it.  I think I need to do something to make it look more realistic.  When I first tried it on, I thought I looked like an exotic dancer (but fatter) but this photo almost makes me look like I am cosplaying or something.

I went to J-town (or N-machi, lol) yesterday to get like one thing from Daiso and ended up buying a bunch of stuff at Ichiban Kan and Daiso.  Plus, I went to Kinokuniya and was dumb there, too.

This is my junk treasures.  I put on my fluffy socks (bottom of photo) before taking this photo.  I highly recommend them, especially if you live somewhere cold, like San Francisco!  Actually, of everything I got, I was most excited about my Hello Kitty earwax cleaner!  When I lived in Japan, I learned that no one uses q-tips to clean their ears (doctors say not to anyway) but they use a special tool.

At Kinokuniya, I bought three magazines.  Actually two are more like mooks.

I was really disappointed with Nuts and Jelly, which used to be some of my favorite gyaru magazines.  I looked through them and every outfit seemed way too "mature."  I know I'm old on the older side for gyaru and maybe should start dressing mature, but I'm not ready!  I want to wear fun stuff.

The thing that I initially liked about gyaru was that it was a fun style--even among the different styles there seemed to be an element of fun.  These more mature styles are just boring to me.  Sorry, I know a lot of people love these styles but to me, they just look like H&M clothes.

The Momoko mook/magazine I bought for the awesome illustrations.  I think I'll actually frame some of them!  The clothes are actually on the boring side.  :/

Egg has some really cute, cool clothes this month.  There is actually a manba model, too!  I was surprised.

The other mook is just nail designs.  If I had a scanner, I'd scan some pages.  They're really cute!
