I like the fact that it’s like The Ramones. You just have to change your name, and you’re a Ramone. You just have to put the wig on, and you’re Hedwig. Women have played it. Gay men, straight men, you know.
I’d love to be in the ’70s. I’d love to have a big, long wig parted down the middle with flat-ironed hair and bell-bottoms. They’re actually very flattering for my figure. The wider the leg, the better for a person with a booty.
Well, you can’t compete with a six foot five man in a wig.
I think that people are looking beyond the wig. I think they are saying, This isn’t just a costume; there’s a person behind this. If this costume, this character, this person has this kind courage? Why don’t we share that?
When I first started wearing wigs, I didn’t know you had to anchor them down with bobby pins. I walked out during a windy day and my wig blew off and got stuck to a branch. I was walking while my wig was hanging! If that’s not the most embarrassing thing… but you have to use bobby pins.
I’ve been going bald since I was about 17. I’m still hanging on to my hair for dear life, but I do sometimes wonder – should I get a wig?
