I fell backward fast...

Ruthless wig slid off my head...

Shame rolled in quickly...

    πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ we all pray to never be in this position but… sometimes stuff happen, that ruthless wig could’ve saved us the embarrassment. But luckily shame came to the rescue, although it’s not much help either lol

  • So sorry!😒❀️ This probably won't help... I used to joke about my wigs. I had only 3 of them. All different. People who knew I was bald under the wig would make comments like, "I love your hairdo. I would pull it off my head and offer it to them. Probably not very nice, but I would think of how not nice is was of them, knowing I was bald under that hairdo. I will still wear hair pieces as my hair is so thin, and I try to behave myself when I get a compliment!🀣🀣🀣

    β€œRuthless wig” lol! πŸ˜†

  • Not just the fall, but the exposure!

  • Oh no!

  • Oh nooooo! I would have wished to just melt to the floor and die 🀣🀣🀣🀣

  • OMGOSH! This has happened to me! It's one thing when you're clearly in costume and people know it's a wig, but it's something else entirely when they think it's real! This short "piece" carries a big impact! Great job!

    The wig stories are always hilarious. Mine never stays on, always slipping cause the strap won't sit still. This is such a darn great Senryu. Always the fun ones from over at Tiffany's. High five.

    "Ruthless" fascinating choice of word. I used to have real wig fear when I used to wear one. This is so real!! ❀

    That’s why I can never wear a wig. I remember this YouTube story, where the cops visit this lady door cause a neighbor saw hair hang out from her car truck, it was her new wig she just bought, the police office could not laughing . πŸ˜‚
