Big wigs and bigger thinking in Freefall's 'Marie Antoinette'

This production does so much more, however, than render a lively version of history. There's a visually arresting continuous palette of color. There's a running montage of video imagery that either represents events of the French Revolution and an abundance of luxury or speaks to the constructs of Marie's mind. And there are some very solid performances in leading roles. It all combines for as serious a statement as you're likely to find on topics that will strike many as timely, even presciently so.
                                                   

The show, directed by Freefall producing artistic director Eric Davis, aims to capture events accurately (time stamps are helpfully projected, along with imagery of the late 18th century) while playfully interjecting elements from today. Costume designer David Covach made the most of his opportunity to do more than clothe actors. The flowing gowns and breeches and accoutrements are spectacular, but so are the cotton-candy bouffant hairstyles of the royal ladies (a young Marie, who carries the enthusiasm and resentments of a precocious teenager, and her girlfriends, wearing neon-loud wigs by Parker Lawhorne), a T-shirt with a "Keep calm" bromide, and the black leather get-up of a muscular young prison guard (Haulston Mann) with whom she's having an affair. Lighting by Cody Basham and thumping contemporary pop music establish a club mood, all to buttress the effect of throwing history and the present into a blender.

Yet this play celebrates neither relativism nor revolution; it examines the people caught up in social and political movements. It offers a well-drawn glimpse into Marie, who needles her husband ("Has it ever occurred to you to run France?") and laments the childhood she never had, including a mother who "spied on me, punished and exhorted me and never raised me."

Megan Therese Rippey is well cast as Marie, who lands a supple depiction of an alert but uneducated woman whose true nobility shines once she is stripped of her crown. Lucas Wells complements her strong personality with his retreating, comically childlike persona.

My Hairstyle Depends on My Mood

Blac Chyna has worn practically every color hair under the sun, but it turns out she's very particular about which wig she chooses and when to wear it. Stylish got the scoop from the 29-year- old about her perfect style, and yes, how she decides on the color of her wig.
                                               

It turns out, much like a mood ring or shade-shifting lipstick, Blac Chyna’s wigs are a reflection of her mood. She tells Us, "If I'm not in a good mood, I'm gonna wear black hair. I'm not gonna wear blonde hair. If I'm feeling feisty, I'm gonna put on a red wig.”

Chyna added, “If I'm feeling like a Barbie girl, I'm gonna throw that blonde wig on. It's just the mood." In other words, as some people make a statement with their clothes, Blac Chyna’s wigs are a clue as to how she is feeling.


But Chyna does have a fashion rule that she tries to live by. When asked about her personal style, she explained, “I'm always sexy. You gotta stay sexy.” And if she’s not going with full-throttle glamour, she goes with super casual. “Sweats and some flip-flops is what you'll get from me, or you'll get some six-inch pumps and a ruffled shirt,” she said.

Now innovators are losing sleep as they come up with all these ideas. Just as we were settling in with the stencils, they have unleashed the wig! This is by far the easiest solution.

Thin eyebrows are a thing of the past. Now if you need a full and thick eyebrow, grab a wig; the most important thing is it should be well shaped.

If you are having trouble growing your own eyebrows due to disease or treatment including chemotherapy, or you simply over-plucked yours, just stick on these false ones and you are good to go.

The beauty is that they are made from natural hair and you are assured of a natural look. All you have to do is choose the shape that suits your face.
