crankyATSUMORI: Hai. I do not resemble a black crow.
ME: Well, I suppose that's one way to put it.
MALLY LEE (from the top of the bookcase): I'll not come down until he takes off that monstrous thing.
ME (desperately casting about for a solution): You know, Atsumori, I think the real problem here is that . . . that . . . that the wig matches your shirt. Right. It just isn't fashionable this season to coordinate your hair to your clothes.
ATSUMORI: I am a samurai and a scholar. Fashion is of no interest to me.
MALLY LEE: Where's that stout lad with the muscles, again?
Isn't that vest the niftiest thing? It's from Moggie's Toyshop on eBay--real leather, and an absolutely perfect miniature version of a real-people piece. The shirt is Tensiya, the pants are from petiteballerine on DoA. (Her Dollshe trousers pattern is terrific.)
The pinkness notwithstanding, I do like this general idea for the Saint head. I think the volume of the wig helps to balance that narrow face.
Well the pinkness is interesting. I like the look of the wig a lot. Though it makes him look even more studious. *note I did not say nerd*
The pinkness actually looks much better in these photographs than it does without the help of the lens. I do *not* understand this. *staring accusingly at camera, which may be possessed*
So I guess I welcome you to the company of owners of totally possessed cameras.
Geeze that MallyLee has such opinions
I must admit I prefer a more severe look for Atsumori, but the mohair isn't a bad fit. Just a really unnatural color.

Are you still looking for a home for that wig?
It would work on my School C girl, who's head is too teeny for the Neale mohairs.....those cover her ears.
:(
^_^
this is so amusing!
and the girls all here and the boys too all say "Take off that wig!"
Pink = Not For Us. I have orange wigs, lavender wigs, green wigs . . . but I've never kept a pink wig longer than a week. Yet I *like* pink. 'Tis a puzzlement. ;-)
Poor unfashionable hawt samurai scholar man. ;)
It may be time for the other guys to step in and have a Talk with him soon. (Though they might just stand back and let him hang himself with the lady, so they can have a chance with her . . .)
That is quite the pink wig, and I concur with the census that in another color it would be a complete winner.
I'm keeping my eyes open for one of the chocolate mohairs from Poshdolls. One thing I realized (and this was the good part about buying two at once) is that the wig cap sizes are *really* variable--Mally's cocoa one is considerably smaller than this pink one.
"Chinese scholarly erotica." This phrase made a blue early morning much brighter. ;-)
I got a chocolate one from Poshdolls last week too - is that what Mally's wearing? Mine's muuuch darker. (And my "mint" wig is perfect, the exact shade of algae-tinged ice that I hoped. )
Oooyeah, I LOOOOOOOOVE those plaid boots!!
Mally's is "cocoa," not chocolate . . . I would call it cinnamon, myself. I do want one of the chocolate ones, though; I really like the length and fullness of these, where most mohair wigs are a little too huge for me. Yay, I'm glad the mint color is what you wanted!!!
Ah, he's just being difficult--it was an exceptionally grumpy weekend all the way around. The pink critter is now well out of his reach, and all wig choices are being vetted by a committee before he goes out in public.
