If you do drag and don't know who Vanity is, gurl...who best expand your horizons! Any drag who drags has at least one wig creation from this queen. And if you're a fan of many well-known queens, most likely you've seen this queens work. Vanity Faire had a lifelong affair with wigs and makeup, he has toured the world as a successful makeup artist, a wig stylist, and drag performer. Vanity's artistic passion developed at a very young age, and fresh out of school decided to pursue a career in hairdressing. Not content with the simple life he packed his bags and moved to Sydney's Oxford Street where he felt right at home and Vanity Faire was born and became a full-fledged drag queen, where she stood out from the pack. Can you say Ultra Glam? It wasn't long before legendry queen, Carlotta, of Les Girls snapped her up for her touring drag show. While Vanity still does drag and performs with a busy schedule, in 2006 she and Courtney Act officially launched Wigs by Vanity and to some it would appear their new lace front wigs appeared within the drag community virtually overnight. Some queens will only wear a lace front wig. While they searched worldwide for a source that could produce these wigs at an afforded cost for drag queens, some companies charge up to $1,000 for a lace front....Vanity took it upon herself to learn the art of lace front wig making, and all these years later the joint company has blown up....Vanity's work on wigs are beautiful, big, full, glamorous and with undetectable hairlines and affordable... not to mention made by a drag queen for drag queens! And kids...Vanity is stunning to boot, and a hell of a performer. I'll have to share Vanity creations one day.
Well done. They do appear to be less detectable at the hairline as a wig. And that she's made them affordable should earn her an A++++.
ReplyDeleteThat green wig would suit a mermaid down to a forked tail.
ReplyDeleteOh, hunny.
ReplyDeleteThose are masterpieces. I know hairdressers who can work literal miracles on any head, but wings? That's a whole another kind of monster. The cut needs to be precise and they must be easily styled (no shake and go here). And don't even get me started with the lace front.
These are fantastic. Such an artist.
That Charlize wig? Whoa.
XOXO
I have to agree with Lady bunny when it comes to lace fronts. A normal everyday wig is just fine you just have to know how to have the talent to glue it down correctly. These queens that only can have lace fronts need to be knocked upside their head. There's a big divide...some drag queens look down on one's that can't afford lace fronts. Some days agree with Lady bunny what happened to just simple good clean fun drag? To a point we should blame ourselves for letting me get so editorial.
DeleteShe makes a great Michelle Pfeiffer!
ReplyDeleteAre you referring to that '90s supermodel look? She really does look like Michelle there. And to pull off Charlize Theron also!
DeleteIncredible wigs. And gorgeous. Long may Vanity reign.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite of these looks is, of course, Jessica Rabbit!
ReplyDeleteOne day the pun may not make sense when the magazine no longer exists
ReplyDeleteSo many different looks!
ReplyDeleteA great talent in drag and wig making :)
ReplyDeleteA shame we have a regime in our country that wants to criminalize people who live their personal and public truth like Vanity Faire in America. And the regime wants to spread its hate filled and hateful cancer across the world.
When they destroy truth and beauty, they destroy the world and its cultures. :(
An old Philadelphian.
Oops I guess I should have mentioned Vanity Faire lives in Australia, I completely agree with the rest of your comment. I too fear at the end of 4 years what will this country even look like?
DeleteI know she is in Australia, I should have phrased it better. :)
DeleteOur country is at a dangerous precipice :\
Great wigs, but the riff on Jessica Rabbit is very cool!
ReplyDeleteOh my...what a chameleon!!! So many different looks and styles, and everyone done with detail and flawless execution. She is stunning. Her wigs are gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteYour right Mistress...just about most queens I know have a Wig by Vanity....she is a legend...for wig and performances in drag.
