Wigs and ears

Remember when I told you about my Cheshire Cat costume for the Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Royal Family 5K during Princess Half Marathon weekend?

If not, this picture should serve as a little reminder.  

Weeelllllll....I'm kinda taking it to the next level.  

Last night, I put the finishing touches on a pair of ears(!), and this morning, I ordered a wig.  A purple one.  

I can't wait to show y'all how the whole ensemble looks. 

It could be awhile before the wig arrives in the mail.  So, in the meantime, you're gonna have to settle for a couple of teasers.  

Here are the finished ears.  I decided to go with a headband (versus attaching the ears to my dri-fit hat) because I'm planning to walk the 5K (instead of run) with a new friend.  

The ears look a bit more like Snarf from Thundercats (see a picture here), but I completely designed them myself, and I think they turned out better than I expected.  I'm ecstatic!

As for the wig, well, it was hard to decide which one to get. Over the last week, I placed multiple bids on several different pink-purple-ish wigs on eBay, but I kept getting outbid when the price went over what I wanted to pay.  

So I took a step back on the whole wig thing and looked at the choices again.  Which made me think maybe a pink wig isn't the way to go at all (after all, my pants are purple) and that maybe I needed a purple wig!  (I also thought a purple wig might make the pink ears stand out more.)

So I took screen captures of pictures from the ones I liked and compiled them together in 1 image so I could look at all of the options side by side.  (What...? This is a serious decision!)

Here are the ones I liked.  (Keep in mind that these are only screen captures from pictures I found online.)  

I've already purchased my wig...but that shouldn't stop you from commenting!  Which wig would you have chosen and can you guess which wig I chose?  Leave a comment below.  :)

(Oh, and I'm kinda nervous about wearing the wig.  Hope I don't chicken out!)
