I'm in need of a wig.

Does anybody know of any wig shops around Austin?

Before anybody says anything, I already know it sounds creepy, and that's what I told my teachers when they first told me.

I need a wig, preferably long, preferably orangeish-blondish, preferably semi-realistic-looking, and preferably cheap. It's use is for a social experiment I have to conduct for not one, but two of my classes. In other words (here comes the creepy part for those that didn't catch my drift earlier), I have to pass myself off as a chick for an extended period of time and record the experience.

Talk about a bold move for an improviser, huh?

Social experiments sure have changed since the 90s. Mine was just to stand too close to people in an elevator when you and that other person were the only ones in there.

The only one I've seen is this one on airport near the intersection of MLK.

I'm shocked time and time again by people who don't know about Lucy in Disguise on south congress. They will have what you seek, no matter what it is. Unless it's Halloween, and you're not seeking a long wait outside.

you have to convince someone you're a woman? Does it have to be in person? Can you just make a phone call in a woman voice? or talk to someone online who thinks you're a woman?

that seems pretty ridiculous. I mean, even with a wig, don't you have to look at whoever you're observing? Do you have to interact with them? Why are you doing this? I'm so confused.

It has to do with sexism and unfair treatment and all that kinda stuff.

That would transform from social experiment to super HOTT!

Yeah, I figured as much...I just don't see how you're realistically supposed to convince someone you're a woman. It sounds like a bullshit assignment.

Don't question the power of the wig. It worked in Ladybugs and it will work again here, damn it.
