St. Patricks Day

Our city does a pretty big St. Pat's parade every year, and this year it's going to roll after being cancelled the last 2. It's one of those family-friendly parades (which is saying something, as we're down here in Mardi Gras territory and some of those get a tad bawdy) that is just sweet and fun. And man, do you come home with some beads! Everyone decks out in all their greenery, of course, and the object is to be as flashy as possible so you attract the float riders' attention. I saw this "wig" and knew it would stand out in the crowd.This is a really neat thing. It's a cross between a wig and a hat. It just hugs the back and sides of your head. All you have to do is tuck most of your hair back - no wig cap or anything is necessary, since the "bangs" and such come down so low. It's also lightweight, which is a plus. I have a feeling it won't necessarily be cool to wear (and that will be an issue down here in the south), but it's still so much fun.I do have some concern about long-term viability, as I could see this tearing up pretty easily - especially as we go to put beads over our heads, but I like it. I really do.

Kiss me, I’m Irish! I was having a hard time taking a nap today because I knew this was arriving today I was so excited I love this wig. Going to Chicago for St. Patrick’s Day I will be wearing this and I will be wearing this to work on St. Patrick’s Day. I also got a green tutu.
