The other day, during an entirely respectable professional development/networking event for public servants, one of the 'emerging leader' participants brightly announced in the getting-to-know-you bit that she sometimes wore a large rainbow coloured clown/afro wig on the way to the train in the morning, if it was a bit rainy and she couldn't find her umbrella. Apparently it was quite large and provided handy cover. Let me just say that it was a moment worthy of David Lynch, both the telling, the reaction from the room and the image in my head. In case you are wondering, she seemed quite normal and was wearing smart casual clothes. I think I might love her. On wigs…

The course from query to result can be like playing charades with amputees. We've all been there. Peroxide wigs under bike helmets is another matter entirely. I'm thinking Village of the Damned on wheels.
