Hi
Anyone who has been to buy a wig, did yours have a ridiculous name? Mine are called Audrey and Blush. I may rename Blush to Dapne or Phyllis (sorry anyone out there called these names, it is kindly meant) unless you have a better idea. I hope these new personalities don’t make me Jekyll and Hyde.
Take care

Mine’s called Lisa; she’s now fully house trained!
I just call mine Wiggy…and she sits on my vase to keep her shape. !!
Mines called ‘posh’ and colour is coffee liqueur
mine are “ladies in waiting” … let’s hope they stay that way … they may even turn into permanent wallflowers with any luck!
more seriously I call them “posh” - for obvious reasons … and “Doris” … this is the one that looks like my mum!
Love the name Doris - I used to use it many moons ago when single. Any ‘ugly’ bloke that came chatting me up - told them my name was Doris…they soon left me alone!!

I just called mine the " RED RAT " and was so glad to be shot of it.
love Andrea x
Mine is called Max - for those of you that remember the comic Max Wall who used to pull a wig on half way through his act.
leah, but i attached her to a string on the fence to tease the squirrels,
needless to say i prefer commando!

I keep calling mine Tom as in ‘what are you doing there Tom?’ because I leave it in some strange places and keep thinking its my cat! Cat remember what its actually called…come to think I can’t actually remember much at the minute - another side effect of the chemo! x
I have caught my cat eyeing mine up a couple of times … they are currently being worn by 2 empty water bottles in the bedroom opposite the end of my bed
am hoping he doesn’t decide to pick a fight with them … or even worse - PEE on them! …
love FB xx

Hi All regarding Wigs… I call mine Anne Boleyn!!!
Mine was called Connie and was fab as it looked like my normal hair. However, I couldn’t be bothered wearing it and only had it on 3 times. OH put it on a polystyrene head on a table outside the loo and the cat used to stare at it, like it was a shrine…
I guess I am one of the lucky ones cos no chemo so I have still got my hair (for what it’s worth - always very short cos so fine) but of my biggest concerns when I got breast cancer is the thought of a wig - doesnt that sound so lame and shallow compared to having health, but I am sure you know what I mean. I often have thought what it must be like to wear a wig - does it get hot and itchy and how much do they cost? The only time I have worn one is fancy dress and on the stage and i was glad to take the thing off. And what happens when they are redundant - like caroleann says Ebay - to be worn at someone elses fancy dress???
Anyone no longer needing their wig(s) could donate them to Wig Bank - wigbank.com/
Had a look at the site - excellent idea.
I have to say I am getting rather fond of “posh” and when this is over i may chose to give her an evening out anyway … especially in the winter when it’s very cold …
… “doris” sadly has no chance … I think she’ll be off to meet some new friends in the wig bank …
Hi everyone
I love your wig stories and names. My wigs have been on all my daughters heads (3 daughters) who thought it was a great opportunity to see what they would look like with a fringe and new style. The wig lady advised me to have a fringe in case I lost my eye brows. Both Audrey and Blush look better than my hair has ever ever looked so they have a good chance of getting worn if the real mullet decides to desert me. First chemo on 20 May.

sorry to interrupt your comments but just about to start my chemo - are the wigs really uncomfortable to wear? I live in a very small town and as soon as I would think about wearing a head scarf eveyone will know what’s wrong with me so I really wanted to wear a wig whenever I could?
Thanks for any advice
