This unit, “Warm Woman Summer” is for the more seasoned & experienced.

A classic among classics. This is the Master Splinter of wigs. Whenever Patti wore this, is was strictly about showmanship and architecture. You can easily chop salads, hang clothes to dry & open canned foods with this unit.
This is prime Patti wig, truly.
Ursula is shaking.

This “Bitch, What Was Said?” unit is a blessing. Patti’s wearing this psychic wig that automatically shifts upwards when around questionable behavior. A duality of hair: looks + a lie detector.
The “sensible” unit for the laid-back woman. Now this isn’t a full cap wig but it still serves the purpose of showing the world that you pay your bills on time with written checks in the mail. This wig is the “Amen” of wigs, worn on Wednesday at Bible study.
The “Molly, you in danger girl.” unit.
Enough said. Thank you Patti for the heads up.
