Little Will's little hair

Size 4-5 Erika wig from Monique looks about right. $13.50. [Also in the same general style are Andrea, Bernadette, Breanna and Clarissa.] Goddamn...at the rate Little Will is going, he is going to get his own storyline because I have sunk a lot of money into him trying to get him to look appropriately Victorian. >:

Woo hoo! I found a 1:6 cafe table top!

I got a round plastic lid from an industrial-size jar of pretzels at work. The lid, besides being bright red and therefore fabulous, is just the right size for the cafe table I need for the Nightcrawler [or dining room scenes]. I can use some of my carpentry scraps to make a pedestal for it. It will then fit in beautifully with the rest of my furniture made out of cardboard boxes, wooden crates, music boxes, etc. I should take pictures of some of my "lazy furniture" and "lazy decor." While I have purchased some things, about 50% of my furniture and accessories are things that I have assembled myself.
