Agassi's Wild Hair in the 1990s? Yep, a Wig!

Remember the wild hair of Andre Agassi in the 1990s? Yep, you guessed it: a wig!

"I asked myself: you want to wear a toupee? On the tennis court? I answered myself; what else could I do?"

But the wig began to disintegrate as he took a shower the night before the Paris final — "probably I used the wrong hair rinse," Agassi writes.

He panicked and called his brother Philly into the room. Together, they managed to clamp the wig together using clips and pins.

Agassi, 39, writes: "Of course I could have played without my hairpiece, but what would all the journalists have written if they knew that all the time I was really wearing a wig?

"During the warming-up training before play I prayed. Not for victory, but that my hairpiece would not fall off.

"With each leap, I imagine it falling into the sand. I imagine millions of spectators move closer to their TV sets, their eyes widening and, in dozens of dialects and languages, ask how Andre Agassi’s hair has fallen from his head."

Reindeer's Antlers Toupee

Posted by Alex in Animal, Fashion on December 13, 2008 at 2:21 pm

Shaggy the reindeer lost his antlers but that didn’t stop him from strutting his stuff in a Christmas performance: his owner, Trevor Hill, made him an antler toupee!

The two-and-a-half-year-old reindeer lost his horns because of
raging hormones produced during the mating season this year.

They fell off three weeks ago, just before he was due to star in Christmas performances in front of thousands of excited children. But rather than disappoint the children with an odd-looking version of one of Santa’s pets, a bizarre new solution was found. [...]

Mr Hill revealed the festive animal had lost his confidence after he fist lost his antlers, where they are kept in Tenbury Wells, Herefordshire. He said: "People don’t even notice that it’s on there – the mark of a good toupee.
