Thread: The Psychology of Wearing
Post: The Psychology of Wearing
Hi guys.

Hey, here are before and after shots of the hair, I'd love opinions as to what I can do to make it more believable. First one is the new one, followed by the old one. I had thought it was a subtle dif... |

It wouldn't so much be due to shame, but more due to fear of the fallout. What happens if that happens on stage? That's a lot harder to recover from... I can't afford to be known as "that singer whose... |

Post: Re: Photos of clipper cut before finishing off wit...
You really can't see that lace? It's pretty plain to see. I've "pointed it out".
Is that as good as it gets? I was about to go for a lace piece... but if that's what one can expect, e-gad. |

Sex is unpredictable!!
So that means it is indeed pull-off-able? Or are there different glues or tapes that would hold better than others? |
