Getting Wiggy With It at Wig World

Laura from the clinic let me try on a couple of her wigs from Wig World. She bought 3 blonde ones. She's wearing a long one herself and I tried on the platinum blonde bob and the midlength one. I kind of like the 2nd photo of me in the long blonde one.

This is my new wig. I'm going to have my hairdresser at home fix the bangs.

I like it better with a hat. Here's one of my favorite hats. I got this hat at Burlington Coat Factory when Shanna was here...

my favorite Life is Good baseball cap that Paris gave me...

Adventures in Wig Shopping Take 2

Shauna and Paris

Wig World, Reno, Nevada

Amazing what a little perspective will do for you! Or maybe it's the right wig, at the right time, in the right color and style. At the right price. And get this. A real human hair wig for $150. Not $995! Although it's not "handstitched" like the $995 one. I can justify paying that without guilt. Can I tell you how glad I am that I didn't purchase a wig that I didn't like for $995 or even $395 (synthetic) just for the sake of getting one before I lost my hair the first time around? See, things work out the way they are supposed to in the long run. After our misadventures in wig shopping in November, this one resulted in tears of joy, not sorrow. No barf bowl was riding shotgun. And it worked out that Paris could participate again. I tried on maybe 3-4 wigs in the store. I've included some photos of me at the clinic trying on Laura's wigs today before we checked out Wig World. She was our inspiration. I don't think platinum blonde is my color. LOL With the new wig I have, I feel and look more like my old self. And it's not poofy and doesn't look too fake. And it looks rockin with my new hats. I am totally into hats now. We went to Burlington Coat Factory (again) after getting the wig and we tried on hats. Paris got 3 new hats and I got 2! I love how my wig looks with hats! And I love how my hair looks with baseball caps! I miss my baseball hats! It also makes me look younger I think. The human hair wigs didn't have names like the synthetic wigs so we got to name her ourselves. We needed a name that connected it with this trip to Reno. So we tossed around "Reno, Virginia (the main street through town), Sierra (street downtown), Juno (we saw that movie last night. Cute movie!), Laura (after the rocker chick from infusion). We both thought Sierra Nevada was a good name but then, it came to us. "Hope". Hope is her name. how perfect is that? And we decided she needed a middle and last name. So her name is "Hope Sierra Nevada". I love it! I love that we got to name her too! We had fun playing with wigs and hats.

We got up this morning, made smoothies, took an hour walk along the river, had some organic iced tea at the Seven Tea House and Bar, took showers, had leftovers for lunch, picked up juices and snacks at Wild Oats and then infused before our adventures at Wig World. Paris made us organic tacos that we used lettuce to wrap the fixins in last night and she made us chicken and veggie soup tonight. Tomorrow we need to pack up and we're going to walk again and hopefully go ice skating tomorrow night at the outdoor rink off of the main drag. We also want to go see the movie "27 Dresses." Not sure how we're going to do everything. We may have to stay up all night to do it!

I think Paris is going to have a hard time getting me on the plane on Saturday. I want to stay!!!!!
