Make Your Baby Look Like Mae West With Baby Bangs

Miriam Lacey — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 13:46:09 PDT

If you've been lamenting that your newborn daughter doesn't look enough like a sassy older lady fond of heavy drinking and wigs, you can stop crying now, because Baby Bangs have arrived to age your infant instantaneously. Baby Bangs are more accurately baby wigs; they're pieces of fake hair attached to a tiny headband that you shove on your unwitting baby's head for snazzy photo shoots or just general entertainment.

I can definitely see myself getting a little stir crazy, cracking open a bottle of chardonnay, and having a grand old time at my future offspring's expense. "What's that you say, tiny fruit of my loins? You wish your bottle was full of Bailey's Irish Cream? Oh, your just-born bon mots kill me! What say we have another glass and get rid of that hat of Daddy's we hate so much?"

On the other hand, I believe babies are supposed to be relatively hairless; it's one of the things that makes them so cute. And it also kind of bothers me that there are no Baby Bangs for male infants. How is it fair that there's no Justin Bieber wig for your bald, drooling baby boy?

Vert-y Nice: A Gallery of Green Hair

Jaime Richards — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 13:41:00 PDT

When it comes to bold hair color, we've explored everything from electric blue to outrageous orange to vivid pink and shocking purple; and now, it's time to go green. It's St. Patrick's Day, after all, and ne'er was there a more perfect time to see some hair that's been tinted with a wee bit o' the Irish spirit.

Have a Kate Gosselin Halloween!

TresSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:15:44 PDT

Well, we did our best to name Kate Gosselin's haircut, aka "the Reverse Mullet." BellaSugar Gosselined herself. Even Neil Patrick Harris tried on the look for size. Now, so can you! With the Eight Is Too Much Adult Wig ($15).

I predict a sea of capri pants and cardigans this Halloween, as the reality show star becomes one of this year's most popular costumes. Would you wear this wig?

Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Talks

LilSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 07:00:06 PDT

They say kids grow up fast, but lately I'm blown away. Last week, my art obsessed daughter told me she can't wait to get a "needle" tattoo. I knew this was coming ever since she noticed mine as I stepped out of the shower a couple years ago. With wide eyes, she blurted out, "I want one," but I talked her in to waiting until she's 25. A couple days ago, she told me she "really needs a pink wig." I thought the conversation was headed toward Halloween, but she explained that it's because she's tired of having messy hair on the mornings I'm at work and my husband attempts to style it. "That way I can just put on a wig and go out," she explained. I'm considering caving on this one so she doesn't try to dye her hair.

Yesterday, she surprised me with the latest topic - sleeping with the opposite sex. A classmate told her he slept in the same bed as his girl cousin and they had a pretend wedding and kissed on the lips. In disbelief she said, "He doesn't even know that you can't marry your cousin. And, you're only supposed sleep with your boyfriend or girlfriend and kiss them on the lips!" My daughter is four and a half, I wonder what the topics of our conversations will be at 14?

Are you ever surprised by what your child talks about?

Lil Find: Wigging Out Like Celebs

babysugar — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 12:00:09 PST

When my baby still had a bald noggin at six months old, a friend gave her the hysterical hot pink Lil Kim wig from Baby Toupee. The hair pieces are available in three other styles – The Donald (as in Trump), the Bob (as in Marley) and the Samuel L. (as in Jackson).

Clearly a conversation starter, you can whip out the outrageous hair toupees at family events, birthday parties or any other festive gatherings to get a few laughs. And, your kid can look back at the photos of their crazy coifs and know they had a cool mom.

Gender Benders: Actors Who Have Cross-Dressed in Movies

Annie Scudder — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:03:00 PST

The 2012 Oscar nominations have been announced, and both Glenn Close and Janet McTeer of Albert Nobbs made the list for their performances as women who live as men. And whether it's a powerful dramatic performance or a lighthearted wig-and-makeup gag, cross-dressing has made for memorable movie experiences in the past. Who can forget Robin Williams's Scottish-sounding alter ego in Mrs. Doubtfire? And 1982's Tootsie, starring Dustin Hoffman, garnered 10 Academy Award nominations. Not to mention actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow, Hilary Swank, and Amanda Bynes who have dressed up as dudes for a role. See stars who have donned drag for film now.

Buzz Lines: What's Your Favorite Quote From Pretty Woman?

Lizzie Fuhr — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 03:05:00 PST

Pretty Woman is the ultimate rags-to-riches chick flick. Business mogul Edward cruises Hollywood Blvd. and picks up Vivian, a tough, mouthy call girl with gorgeous red tresses (under her blond wig). What starts off as a "business" proposition turns into an improbable romance that we never get tired of watching. There are so many memorable lines from this much-loved flick, but somehow we've managed to choose a few of our favorites. Check 'em out, then chime in with your own!

"We have nothing for you here." - Rude saleslady
"I want the fairy tale." - Vivian
"You and I are such similar creatures Vivian. We both screw people for money." - Edward

10 Tips For Keeping the Truth About Santa a Secret!

LilSugar — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 11:59:01 PST

There's no Christmas like one when a child believes in Santa! Years ago, St. Nick showed up at our family gathering and pulled a red trike out for my cousin. The then-preschooler leaped from the floor with an expression so priceless I can still picture it. We all remember the moment we found out that truth about Santa Claus. (I was 7 when a classmate told me she found a red suit in her father's closet.) And then as parents, we have those close calls with our own offspring. If you want your tots to be believers, here are some helpful hints for keeping the jolly old fellow's spirit alive. . . at least for a little longer!

Don't play Santa at school or family events. Kids know their parent despite the padded suit, white wig, and stick-on beard.
Shop solo - children notice when you try to sneak items into the cart.
Figure out a really good hiding place to stash your loot. Lil snoops will find gifts in obvious places (and perhaps even open, peek, and rewrap them).
Have Santa gift your kid an item you would never purchase. It throws even the most curious child for a loop.
Wrap gifts from Santa in a special wrapping. If mom uses the same patterned paper for her presents or a roll is laying around the house, it can raise suspicion.
Disguise penmanship on gift tags. If you normally use cursive, print or write with your opposite hand.
Excited kids can be restless. Make sure they are really asleep (hand test, breath test, etc.) before you cart out the Christmas loot. And have a backup plan if your wee one wakes!
Consume the child's offerings for Santa. Nibble the cookie and sip the milk. Putting the full glass back in the fridge or returning baked treats to the cupboard can be a big mistake.
Even if the house is heavy with mistletoe, don't let your lil one catch mommy kissing Santa Claus!
There's nothing like a report of reindeer prints on the roof or a little soot left in the chimney to confirm that Santa was indeed on the premises.

And, if your child still figures it all out, ask them to be your elf and assist in keeping the magic alive for younger siblings.
