We happen to drop the rhetorical "What a time to be alive" rather often nowadays. But what about the 1960s? What about if you were—*gasp*—a rock and roll sensation?There was Vietnam and all the craziness that went along with that. There was a whole lot of tree hugging and all the partying that goes along with that. There was also a little pop culture explosion that had to do with... yep, you guessed it: rock and roll! This sociopolitical and pop culture climate would truly have warranted the comment, "what a time to be alive."And we can help you recreate some of that experience with this 60s Mod Brown Mens Wig, especially if your end-goal is to emulate one of those sensational singers from across the pond.. We can't put together a concert, or organize a civil rights march, but we sure can dress you for the part! It's the easiest way to look like a star and make all the ladies swoon, this wig.
Those Gams got GameFlappers really knew how to dance! So many people these days simply bob up and down with a little hip wiggling and shoulder shimmying involved. Not that we blame folks for the way they dance right now. We're not those people who frown on the modern era. That's not what flapper lovers do. Flappers were all about the new, newest thing. Sometimes that newest thing was shimmying to big band music. And now that newest thing is doing a fast body shake to EDM music. Or whatever kids do these days. Honestly, we don't know what kids are dancing like these days. That's because the flappers kicked off a culture that moves faster than those new-fangled locomotives! Ever since the nineteen-twenties, culture has been changing! And yet, almost a hundred years later and here we are. We still dig the Charleston and we still dig that flapper fringe. Maybe that's because everything cool we have now evolved from a time of jazzy dancing. A time when you could take up five feet of dance floor. A time when those infamous flapper games had serious dancing game! Product Details & DesignThis cream and black dress zippers up the back and has a cream background with a rose lace overlay. The neckline has a velvet-textured v-neck border that looks slick with a long beaded necklace. The top has a drop waist leading to an asymmetric fringe skirt. And of course, you wouldn't be ready to start flappin' until you throw on the included headband. All that JazzYou'll feel right at home in that speakeasy when you're wearing this lacy flapper costume. While the dress has gorgeous detailing, you can refine your look with accessories like boas, stockings, and prop cigarette extenders. Perfect for all sorts of costume parties, you'll be ready to shake and shimmy once you throw on this fringed dress.
They said a broad couldn't make it in the gangster world. To them, we say, "Hey! What's the beef?"! You've always known your daughter had a little more edge to her. Even when she was running around the playground in pigtails and lace she seemed a little more hardboiled than the other kindergarteners. When she fell off the slide, she'd look around like someone pushed her. The whimper and tear firmly frozen in her sweet little eyes. She's certainly not a bully but she's never been a pushover. So, when she asked you to be a gangster for her next costume party, how could you say no when it seemed so right! This ensemble is chic as well as intimidating. The pinstriped blazer and pants will make her look professional as she's bootlegging banned soda pop into the school cafeteria. Someone this professional looking isn't about to end up in the Big House (detention), she'll be on the lam before those nasty coppers (teachers) catch her! With a black, collared Dickey and a red rose, she won't have any problem collecting dough and keeping those fellow gangsters on the up and up.So, this Halloween, don't be some wise guy, cutting corners. Set your little lady up with some threads for her new profession! This ensemble is exclusively designed with a straight leg cut, a curved hem jacket, and a proud collar. Pair it off with a chic fedora hat and she'll be ready to roll. That'll show those fella's not to question a dame!
Shimmy and ShineHave you ever wondered why people don't seem to dance much anymore? Sure, we could blame modern music. We could blame bars and restaurants that never seem to make a place for people to move to the music. Or we could blame the fact that we're all too busy and distracted to learn the same dances well enough to play them out when we're out in public. But honestly, we're pretty sure that people aren't swaying and sashaying because we don't wear the right clothing. Grooving in high-waisted pants and t-shirts just doesn't feel right. If you want to shimmy and shake, you've got to wear something that shines and sways with you! That's where this lovely flapper costume comes in! You don't need to know any special dance moves or wait for some big band music to come on. Just move that fringe and let the sparkle do the talking!Design & DetailsWhen it comes to designing flapper dresses, our in-house creative team knows what's up. They design our 1920s dresses with a flattering fit that slips over the body with the perfect amount of stretch and space, allowing you to move confidently without getting swallowed in too much material. This dress zips up the back, so you can slip into it even after your hair has the perfect finger curls. The emerald sequins and fringe trim will make you feel right at home in the speakeasy or jazz club. Topped off with a stretchy ssequin-covered headband, you won't be able to resist a little shimmy once this ensemble is all together!A Century of SparklingIt's not every decade that folks strike on a fashion that stays fabulous for a hundred years. But here we are, still wanting to slip into the clothes of our great-great grandmas! Once you purchase this timeless look maybe you'll finally understand a little more about the jazz age. We wouldn't be surprised if the secret behind dancing the Charleston was all about sequins and fringe!

When it comes to the legends of rock and roll, KISS definitely comes to mind. The four guys involved in the band revolutionized how we enjoy rock music, ushering in a new era of pyrotechnic-heavy concerts—from fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets and levitating drum kits, these guys had it all. In 2014, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and they’ve sold more than 100 million records worldwide.What’s the secret to their massive appeal? The elaborate costumes and stage personas? The eye-catching face paint? The raw talent showcased in their music?Or maybe it’s the hair.Specifically, we’re talking about Gene Simmons’ hair, which is so unique it doesn’t even have a style to compare it to. Maybe a half-pony blow-out? We’re not sure… but we are sure that his hair has got to play a major part in the Demon’s never-waning popularity. The man is still playing concerts 40 years since he helped found the band, and he’s showing no sign of stopping.If you want to dress up like rock and roll’s favorite dark son for your next costume party, you definitely can’t forget about the hair. So buy this KISS Gene Simmons Wig. The styled black wig has a small ponytail on top and crimped hair on the sides, just like the real deal. We wouldn’t be surprised if you get mistaken for him as soon as you put it on. So put it on and get ready to rock and roll all night!

Jan can be a little bit sweet and a little bit mean (depending on who she's talking to), and she's often more than just a little bit kooky.

Get the pigtails and the baby bangs without hours at the salon! Once you get into that Pink Ladies jacket, you're going to want to gather up the girls for an evening of fun!
