bodyguard backstage wig.jpg

I really do enjoy wearing a GOOD wig and this one was FABULOUS!  The look of these long tresses came directly from the Artistic Director of Candlelight Pavilion, John LaLonde and Make-up Design was by yours truly.  Living my best life in this selfie, with no filter!  In the months following this production, wig-work continued to be a part of my reality while on the National Tour of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
