“Later we [Culture Club] played with them a few times and they had the most unique, hypnotic sound. It’s trashy Americana, John Waters, Divine, the Shangri-La’s, high camp and bubblegum punk. The beat is everything. Fred always reminded me of Dr Zachary Smith from Lost in Space. I never thought about whether the B-52’s had a gay angle. They were just against rules in general – taking classic American kitsch and giving it a punk, space-age irreverence, like a beautiful car crash with pop surrealism. They were very camp but very funky: always on it, melodic but effortlessly free. It’s the sort of pop music that I want to hear.”
/ Boy George reflecting on the B-52’s in The Guardian /
Born on this day: happy 76th birthday to the sublime Kate Pierson (née Catherine Elizabeth Pierson, 27 April 1948) - singer, multi-instrumentalist, bouffant wig enthusiast and one of the founding members of Athens, Georgia’s essential post-punk party band the B-52’s! For me, Pierson’s spine-tingling dissonant science fiction anti-harmonies with co-vocalist Cindy Wilson are one of the defining sounds of American New Wave music. Pictured: Pierson captured by Lynn Goldsmith in the early 1980s.

I recently found a cheap used lacefront off of eBay and styled it specifically for the Takarazuka version of Oscar! I want to make several looks from their productions at some point and decided to dedicate a wig specifically to it. The style has changed a lot over the years of productions, so I kind of picked the elements I liked best from different ones and combined them.
The base wig was straight, so I did a roller set, steamed it, combed it out, and trimmed the bangs and layers afterwards. Thanks @gormasmus for teaching me how to do roller sets, it's so much more efficient than a curling iron once you get the hang of it!
I'm actually planning on redoing my wig for my full military Oscar build which sounds crazy I know. I still plan on using my old wig for some of her looks, but I've realized I want to take the style a slightly different design direction for my competition build after some more thought and research.

Wigs In Space, an AI adventure, Episode 6: Ep 1 (see for notes) Ep 2 Ep 3 Ep 4 Ep 5
Some factions in space still earnestly pursue a diplomatic solution...
Tumblr media
...but the plot keeps them sidelined.
"Get tae fuck!"
Tumblr media
The human space fleet prepares to stop running and start fighting. Ships are flipped for war. Before they depart, massed pipers inspire the onboard AIs with a stirring rendition of "Daisy Bell":
Tumblr media
Armed, fueled, and tuned up, the formidable fleet pulls out of orbit, shifts to hypergear, and jumps to meet the foe. Crews accustomed to civilian missions must swiftly adjust to the new reality:
"Fire torpedoes!"
Tumblr media
"Get tae fighters!"
Tumblr media
"Pow! Pow pow pow! Pow pow!"
Tumblr media
"It's a good steady well-paid job, they said. It'll be just like driving a bus, they said..."
Tumblr media
And as if the fighting itself wasn't enough, intrepid space crews must deal not only with the UF-Foe but with the vagaries of their feline consultants:
"A minute ago the cat said fall back!" "Well, now it says go in!"
Tumblr media
End of Episode 6.
Tune in next time for more Wigs In Space, intrepidly brought to you by Slime Mold Chocolate -- now in new, high-energy Spore flavour, with the wholesome natural biology of fruiting bodies and a smooth, uniform composition!

Grandma’s Birthday Party (1950s Style)
Grandma had a great birthday 🎂 party yesterday! My hair didn’t turn out so I wore a wig to compete the outfit. I previously wore this dress for “Lilac in Maternaland”. Everyone at the party was more interested in my wig though. 🤭
Had to go to the store after the party to get creamer, I was nervous at first, but 4 people complimented me within 2 minutes. I felt really happy afterwards! 🥰
I only had time to take a couple of pictures yesterday, they are posted on LoyalFans with several different filters to give it that Retro style ❤️
If I lose people again over this, it’s their loss 🤷🏻‍♀️✌🏻

Wigs In Space, an AI adventure. Episode 5 - new Sunday and Thursday time: Ep 1 (see for notes) Ep 2 Ep 3 Ep 4
"We're discussing the situation at our bi-weekly staff meeting."
Tumblr media
"Bit late for that, mate."
Tumblr media
"They're gaining on us! More chord power, quickly!"
Tumblr media
"Boost roof shields, the lasers are getting in through that damn leaky skylight! Lieutenant -- if the distortion field has given you three arms, use them to push buttons!"
Tumblr media
"In my opinion, this would be an opportune moment to pause and enumerate the reasons why I am the fairest of them all."
Tumblr media
"No, it bloody wouldn't! Anyway, I'm the flarest of them all, so beat that!"
Tumblr media
"There isn't much happening over here, but just look at this jumpsuit the AI made for me! Now who's the FOTA, huh?"
Tumblr media
End of Episode 5.
Tune in next week to hear a negotiator say: "What I hear you telling me is that your species has three dicks, each with a specialised function, and to keep your militant factions happy you're gonna wave two of them, but not the middle one, which isn't all that flexible. I get it, bro, but if you don't cut that shit out, like now, our own militant factions are gonna wag their willies right back in your general direction, because our two peoples are more alike than different."
Tumblr media
