Finding Wigs in East Auckland?
Post By Flymyprettyfly. 08/12/10, 03:55 am

My friend who isn't on the forums and I are doing a Matryoshka Cosplay - her as Miku & me as Gumi. The outfit will be fairly easy to get together but the only part that is bothering me is finding wigs Neutral We need a medium length, bright lime green wig(Gumi) and a very long, bright blue wig(Miku).

I would rather try look around East Auckland for wigs before giving up and buying online so... where do I start for wig hunting? Are there any shops around East Auckland in particular we should look at? Since it's the holidays and all, I can go out of East Auckland if there aren't any shops that may have what we are looking for o n o

I have a feeling I'll end up buying the wigs online in the end.

The cosplay:

So, help? sweatdrop

High five for matryoshka cosplays! xD I'm doing Gumi too~
There is a wig shop in Auckland, of which I can't remember it's name.... but they only stock natural-coloured wigs so you might be out of luck.
I'm getting my wig online.

Buy online. You'll need clip on ponytails for Miku anyway.

Maybe a Gumi wig you could find at a costume store, or a 2cheap/2$ shop etc. place, but I live in East Auckland and, well, I don;t think you could find a Miku wig here! Maybe try Tammy's wig orders in the marketplace -here-? You can pay by cash bank deposit.

Maybe this one for Miku? http://www.honey-wig.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=220_221_239&products_id=558

Hmm, I will have to buy online for the Miku wig but I'm going to look around a little more for something that could pass for a Gumi wig.

While you COULD use a cheap green wig for Gumi I suggest strongely against it because

1. It doesn't turn out as nicely in pictures as the Miku wig will
2. It doesn't turn out nicely even in real life. I cannot count the number of times I have felt like my soul had been ripped out because a perfectly nice cosplay had been ruined by a really crappy wig. THOUGH keep in you CAN make the cheap wig more passable (i think ...) kudos to you if you manage it though :3
