Bianca Del Rio

For me, wigs and hairpieces are an everyday part of my life. One day I can wear what I like to call my ‘Back to you, Barbara’ look – professional and full of layers – and the next day you may see me in my ‘Bubblin’ Brown Sugar’ look – curly, fun and bubbly. Sherri Shepherd

Angela Robinson
Even in reality shows, how they look at black women like they’re the monsters – snatching wigs, and weaves and wigs, weaves and wigs, basically, and throwing water and stuff.

No. 2, it would be a lot easier for me to be accepted by people because I wear wigs and dresses on the Internet, and I’m feminine and all these things. It’d be so much easier to be just like, ‘Yeah, I’m gay.’ But I’m not. Shane Dawson
Our Congress should stay in session all summer – camp out in D.C., and turn off the AC.

Kevin Bleyer
Vanity from Wigs By Vanity have the best wigs in the business. Willam Belli

There is nothing like walking on the streets on a freezing cold day and hearing fans scream your name, then stopping to talk to those same fans.

Hey, our Founding Fathers wore long hair and powdered wigs – I don’t see anybody trying to look like them today, either… But we do look to them as role models. Leigh Steinberg
I guess drag queens, by nature, have to do everything. When you start being a drag queen, you’re grabbing the microphone, hosting the shows.

I didn’t really know how to write jokes, so I just told weird, long stories about being tall and beautiful and wealthy in New York. I’d tell them very seriously, but I kind of looked like a drag queen at the time with big wigs and crazy 12-inch platform heels. Melissa McCarthy
