I like Operetta too and I love her rockabilly look. I love looking at rockabilly art. I have a rockabilly wig that I plan on wearing. It has a big bun in the front and it's kinda wavy and curly at the bottom. It would look normal if it wasn't two toned but I couldn't find it in black so I had to go with auburn and light bleach blonde.
I'm still gonna wear it since the colors to wear for the event I'm going to is brown and white. I always seem to buy stuff that would be too over the top. I swear if I could dress really bizarre anywhere, I would. I got a pink wig that I can wear nowhere, but I still wore it and even included one of the clip on ponytails that came with it xD. I thought people would be mean towards me but I got compliments.
I usually run into the jealous type of people that have only nasty things to say about people that are just dressed stylishly since they are plain jane and wish they had some style themselves. I want this wig, it just needs some styling to it:
The rolls kinda look like oiran's chou chou hair in the back.
That Wig looks straight from the set of Blade Runner!
I don't think I have ever seriously worn a wig... they just don't appeal to me, I would rather go through the trouble of styling it myself... therefore I know quite a few vintage do's and techniques.
The wig is typically called Victory Rolls. That is two large sections on the side that are rolled and pinned into a large barrel curl... the amount of hair and the angle may vary from person to person, but that is a classic look with great variety... I love how they look with a Blunt Bettie Paige style or Faux bang, it works well with mid to long length hair.
The one large roll at the top of the head that resembles a pompadour is called a Suicide Roll. This looks great with updos. Now
THAT IS A SUICIDE ROLL! Not to be confused with
Faux bangs
Rockabilly is generally a fusion of Punk and Vintage styles. Pulled straight from the 40's, 50's and 60's... Think Art Deco meets grunge. It tends to be associated with old school tattoo, pin up, greaser, skater and surfer culture.
