Hair. It's a funny old thing.

Red FFM
So, if you haven't seen me recently, you might not realise that my hair colour has changed. I now have quite excitingly red hair.

This poses a problem for doing the last FFM gig we have lined up, as at virtually no point in her career was Stevie Nicks a redhead (there is an argument for it based on the cover of her "TimeSpace" compilation album, but it could just be colour touch-up). However, I really needed to be a redhead for sanity's sake for a while.

What's to be done? Particularly if I want to earn a bit of dosh doing backing track work (and a large number of the backing tracks I own are of La Nicks...), I really need to be a blonde.

So, I've done what I always swore I'd never do, and have bought... a wig.

I've railed in the past about tribute bands and their excessive use of bad wigs, but this situation just called for it. I've bought a rather good wig, actually, which there didn't used to be many of on Ebay. However, the market seems to have expanded recently, and there are some really good wigs available.

So, here I am, sitting in a Stevie wig.

It looks surprisingly good!

I haz a twopay!

Picture should be here (I always have unexpected results when I try to "blog this picture" from Flickr, so it might not be showing up on you flist...).

The heat issue was why I was wearing it today - it doesn't seem to be *too* bad, and thankfully I have the normal body temperature of a newt in winter :-) I'm sure I'll be a bit hot and sticky though!

*shrugs* I really don't see the problem of red-hairedness for a FFM gig, but then I've never tried to market/advertise anything and would probably suck rocks at that. It'll be interesting to see you go from red to blond in 5 minutes though. ;)
