Mean wig ladies

So today Mrs Mac and I went to look at wigs again. We went to a store that was just chock full of mean old ladies, and those were the salespeople! You'd have thought they thought I was trying to steal the wigs.

They told me I couldn't have any of the wig names or take any pictures; I guess they don't want to compete with the internet for customers. But she wouldn't let me try on medium length wigs! I tried one unflattering wig on and she refused to get any more for me, telling me I should wear a short one!

When I wanted to try one on, I actually had to sort of wheedle her into doing it. Awful woman. Anyway, I did find out some things about color. The first is that I like Coffee Latte color from Rene of Paris. This is the color, below.

The second thing I found out is that the "Tyler" wig I tried on in that awful shade of blonde at the other wig store looks really nice on me in a darker shade. Here it is in close to the correct shade:

and here's a tiny url for Rene of Paris' color chart; I know this is probably not as fascinating for you as it is for me, but I'm having a ball.

I had to check in and see how you are doing. My Mom just had her first chemo round one week ago today and she is doing ok - she had 2 days of feeling like she had the "worst flu ever" (her words), but the great little pills they gave her really kicked the nausea. She is also picking out a wig, so I laugh at all of your wig pictures and have even sent my Mom some recommendations! Cancer sucks, no doubt about it, but my Mom has found that the people who have come out of the woodwork to offer support have been a blessing she didn't know she had. Hang in there - you and my Mom are BOTH going to get through this.
