I want it long, straight, saggy, waggy, oily, greasy...

(insert more lyrics) ... long as I keep lovin' my hair!

OK - this photo is blurry and there is no real focus...BUT...there is a story behind this! In the bowels of the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts at U of Illinois, this rack of wigs awaits the final scene from the All-State high-school theater production of "Hairspray". We weren't really supposed to be in this location, so the shot was quick and furtive. In real life, these wigs were VERY COOL! The production was amazing, as well!

  1. A great idea for the theme! (It's hard to get a sharp photo when you're in sneaky stealth mode!)

  2. Out of focus, blurry or not - I don't think any of us can compete with this offering for the subject "hair" - :D

  10. "Oh say, can you see, my eyes, if you can then my hair's too short!"

    I love stealth shots! Don't you feel proud that you've gotten away with something? ;-) This is terrific!

  11. Risking charges of criminal trespassing just to get the 'hair' theme shows tremendous dedication to the project. Bravo!

    (did you check to make sure there were no security cameras?)
