the oxymorons will be performing friday night at the java hut at st. mark's umc and so i was out shopping for clothing for tammy wynette and crystal gayle today. we (crystal and i) went thrift shopping. surprisingly crystal gayle was the most difficult to shop for; she is conservative in a '70's sort of way that made it difficult to pin down. i found something for her in 'vintage' that looks to be maybe early '80's. tammy wynette was a piece of cake since she began singing in the '50's i went for a cute little dress that looks to be late '50's early '60's. next was the wig shopping.
now it's always a challenge for us to even get to judi's costume shop in newport news (we never remember if it's off of warwick or jefferson); we always pick the wrong road first and today was no exception. so after driving way out of the way we finally get there (about 11ish) only to find out that she doesn't open shop until 1:00. darn it all. she has the weirdest hours and you'd think i'd learn to call her ahead of time but i never do. so we went to the mall to kill time. :D
we ate at the new chipotle (yum!) and shopped a bit and got back to judi's at 12:55. judi actually arrived at 1:15 (so much for store hours). we dug through two drawers in which the wigs are stuffed (literally). there is no organized system so we had to pull out wig after wig. i never found the piece i wanted for tammy wynette (a '50's boufant) so i settled for a long(ish) wavy blonde. crystal gayle once again proved to be my problem child. judi didn't have a long brown wig so i got a 'jesus' wig (deep brown) and a long hair extention (auburn). hopefully the house lights will be down enough to hide the color differences.
