2. Green, long and curly

5. Golden blonde and wavy

I'm torn between the #2 and #4, actually. #2 seems a little dark from what I can tell...but I like the curls in it better than #4.

I know! This is my issue. And all are from good sellers that came recommended, so.

Did you look on Amphigory? I get all my wigs from there, and they should have a bunch of different colors to choose from.

Link?

Oh and I found it. Lots of great wigs--but not the right combo of green and curly/wavy for what I need. XD

And I really like the idea of green, so.

Whoo well you bought #2, which was my favorite of the bunch, so yay XDDDDDD

If it's too dark/blue, I've been told leaving it in sunlight for a while is helpful. And in my experience having had blue streaks of dye in my hair before (first thing I did when I came to college, I had a job before that where I couldn't dye my hair) is that it fades to green anyway.

CAN'T WAIT UNTIL IT GETS HERE.

And I think I have enough remnants now to scarfalicious up my Terra costume. XD

I find it funny that I took this quiz as Quistis! ANYWAY. #2 is just the prettiest wig, so that's what I'd get. :)

HA HA I KNOW.

QUISTIS APPROVES OF COSPLAY.

Maybe someday I'll put together a Laguna one to make out with you with. XD

UM. Now would be a bad time to tell you that we're kind of planning a regular FF8 group for Otakon? :D

WOMAN I HAVE ENOUGH COSTUMES.

I could totally do the jacket, my flight jacket with shit added would work...

GODDAMMIT.

#2 is the sexiest

Just a word of caution, long wigs can be difficult to put into hairdos depending on the quality of the wig. It may be interesting trying to get any of those into a ponytail- particularly the straight-haired wigs.

Oh I know. I may cheat and do a lower ponytail (which is what I have in the version I've worn so far, cause that wig was like $10). I'm also willing to trim them a little. It'd be my wig after all.

I don't have much selection when it comes to green. XD
