WIG REVIEW: BLACK PANTHER
YOU GUYS I FINALLY SAW BLACK PANTHER! After getting all the good reviews, making all the money, and becoming the black hero we need since since Obama sashayed away, I wasn’t sure this movie could live up to the hype. There was so much hype, including good hair hype. There are many, many, many articles (all of which are great and worthwhile reads) about how fantastic the hair is in this movie so I was ready for the library to be open. But guess what? The hype was real. This is a great movie with great wigs. Let’s discuss.
Just as The Post had every prestige white actor in it, this movie has every prestige black actor in it. And I am here for it. Most do not wear wigs, including Black Panther hisself and also Daniel Kaluuya above. However, there is a part where Daniel Kaluuya rides a rhino wearing armor and I think that needs to be noted.
Also of note, Michael B. Jordan is the villain in this but is also very, very, very handsome. He also doesn’t wear a wig but I’m sure that come Halloween, we will be gifted with many awful wig choices to portray him.
There are also many, many really smart and powerful female characters in this movie. One of them is tech wiz Shuri who does not wear a wig but does have a lot of fabulous different hair situations happening throughout this movie.
So as for the actual plot, basically the whole movie is an origin story on the character of Black Panther, which is always far preferable to the bloated, character-laden Marvel movies we now have to suffer through (though don’t worry - now that he’s part of the Marvel Universe, he’ll be in those too!) Anyway, it’s all about T’Challa (Black Panther) becoming King of Wakanda which is a high-tech wonderland of heavy metals, innovation, fashion, equality, armor-clad rhinos, and female empowerment secretly hidden in a third world country. In many ways, it is like the origin story of Wonder Woman and like that movie, is very very good. Unlike that movie, it has vastly superior wigs.
Angela EFFING Bassett plays T-Challa’s mom and is usually seen in in fabulous hats looking flawless and spouting good advice.
About halfway through the movie, some dark sided stuff goes down at a waterfall (I won’t spoil it for you but it does involve a shirtless Michael B. Jordan so it isn’t all bad) and Queen Bassett has to head for the mountains in some fabulous wool knits. She also lets down her hair in the most fantastic wig I’ve seen in a long while. Thank you for finally throwing some cash at a wig budget, Marvel Universe.
You can read more about how this lewk was achieved in the links at the beginning of this review but these are dreads befitting a goddess. And I’m pretty sure Martin Freeman would agree.
Speaking of goddesses, the always gorgeous Lupita Nyong’o plays T’Challa’s love interest and has the best kind of wig - the kind that doesn’t look like a wig. This is intricate wigwurq on the level of Key & Peele (some of TV’s best wigs!). Apparently each of those twists were hand twisted to become the Wakanda version of Bantu knots.
Whilst going undercover, Lupita gets this fab ‘fro wig. However, this scene (and the rest of the movie and honestly the rest of the movies for the next year or so) gets completely overshadowed by perhaps the best fight scene involving a wig ever.
General badass, Danai Gurira, no stranger to a good wig (the one she wears as Michonne on The Walking Dead is one of the few good things left about that show), plays a female Wakandan warrior, all of which sport shaved heads.
But in this scene, she wears an incognito wig to go undercover (which she NOT living for).
When the her identity is revealed and a fight ensues, gurlfriend not only straight up loses her bad wig, but uses it as a weapon. (IF THIS IS A SPOILER TO ANY OF YOU, I’M SORRY BUT ALSO I HAD SEEN THIS SCENE ONLINE ABOUT 50 TIMES BEFORE SEEING THIS MOVIE AND IT SPOILED NOTHING). This wurqs on so many levels, not the least of which is her character stripping off the confines of her relaxed, Western-style wig and returning to her African warrior identity but also: it’s a badass woman throwing her wig into a man’s face. WURQ.
THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST WIG SCENE IN THE LAST DECADE. And confirms what I have been saying for years: wigs CAN be weapons. YES. YES. YES. YES. CAN I PLEASE SEE IT AGAIN?
THANK YOU. THAT IS ALL.
VERDICT: WURQS

WIG REVIEW: BATTLE OF THE SEXES
We all know who wins at the end of the Battle of the Sexes, the 1973 tennis tournament/public spectacle between 29yo Billie Jean King and 55yo Bobby Riggs and yet it is a win that we all needed to see again in 2017 in movie form. I really wish this movie had come out on November 10, 2016. It would have been cathartic to see the reaction shots of misogynist men seeing a lady reign supreme and, well, it still felt cathartic now, almost a year later. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WIGS? Let’s discuss:
When we first meet Ms. King as played by tanned insect Emma Stone, she has subtle Farrah waves. This wig isn’t terrible. Meanwhile, Sarah Silverman serves up Jacqueline Susann realness with some extra frosted action in this gingham fantasy cocktail dress. YAYYYS MA’AM. I think I need to renew my wedding vows so that my mom can recreate this lewk.
Anyway, after getting no respect from Bill Pullman (yes, BILL PULLMAN), Billie Jean decides to start her own damn ladies tennis tour (wurrrrrqqqqqqqq!) and nothing says the start of ladies tennis tour like a trip to the salon, amiright?
There at the salon, BJK realizes that she might have some feeeeeeeeeelings for the lady hairdresser. This is also where the movie gets really boring (nothing against lesbian love, obvs - sadly it is expressed as really moody and boring in contrast to the fun of the rest of the movie!)
Anyway, whatever - you go, gurls. Again, this wig is fine.
As is this shorter shag the lady hairdresser/new mistress gives her.
Oh meanwhile, BJK was apparently married at the time to a blonde Ken Doll and possibly the most supportive husband of all time. Dude straight up looks the other way at lesbian affairs, will totally ice your knees, lawyer up all your Virginia Slims tennis deals all while looking like he’s going to escort Barbie to a date at a 70s disco ski lodge or something.
Back to Emma Stone’s wig, I guess my biggest problem is that is just doesn’t look like BJK’s real hair. HERE is the real BJK and Bobby Riggs (who looks pretty much exactly like Steve Carell - a good dude wig for once!) But BJK? NOPE. I don’t know why it’s so hard to find a feathered 70s shag wig that has the body and texture of this hair. WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO DO?!
THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE BJK HAIR! OK? OK.
The other ladies of the Virginia Slims Tennis Tour all serve up (that is actually a pun here - ugh TENNIS) some good lewks - most of them wiglessly. Oh and if you look into the center of this picture you will see a Becca/Jules SuperBad reunion! They’re also apparently really good friends in real life - thanks internet!
These lady tennis players also serve up FASHION. JUST LOOK AT THESE EFFING TENNIS DRESSES. Here is where we get to the true stars of this movie:
ALAN EFFING CUMMING and also Wallace Langham (aka Josh from Veronica’s Closet) play the dudes who design these glamorous tennis gowns and also provide support, wisdom, and general sassiness. If this story were a fairy tale, they would obviously be the fairy godmothers (all puns intended).
LOOK AT WHAT THEY’RE WEARING TO AN AIRPORT IN HAWAII.
LOOK AT THEIR VAGUELY MATCHING LEWKS AND PORTABLE CHAMPAGNE GLASSES. I WANT TO BE THEM WHEN I GROW UP.
I think that Alan Cumming’s hair is just styled into the coif it should always be and Wallace Langham is wearing a wiglet but DAMN IT WURQS SO WHATEVER. Also at the end of this movie (absolutely no spoilers) Alan Cumming absolutely does his best Rupert Everett in My Best Friend’s Wedding impersonation and it makes me wonder what Rupert Everett is up to and can he be in a movie with Alan Cumming please? Thanks.
Oh also - basically everyone is in this movie INCLUDING ELISABETH SHUE. She doesn’t wear a wig but I just want everyone to know that she is getting work and looks AMAZING.
EVERYTHING SHE IS DOING IN THIS PICTURE WURQS. I amend my previous statement: I want to be Elisabeth Shue in this picture when I grow up.
VERDICT: WURQS
