I bought a wig today. It is sort of in the style of The Beatles and it is black.
I worried that it might be too feminine, but the fact that it's disconcerting as all hell to look at me when I'm wearing it is a great sign that it's sending on the gender signals I want it to. Yeeeeeeeeees. I probably won't be larping for a few weeks yet, but call this incentive to work harder. The rest of the costume will be important, but I am glad I decided to go purchase a wig instead of simply tying back my hair. Now I just need a pair of men's (boy's?) dress shoes, dress pants, a dress shirt, and some eyeliner. And something to bind my breasts.
For those of you were are newer to my friends list, I participate in a Vampire: The Masquerade LARP in the summer months. Costuming is one of my favourite parts of the game.
I also need to nail down some details about the backstory and exactly how I am going to de-uselessfy Damian.
theclevermonkey had some fantastic suggestions, I am just not sure I can convincingly roleplay the best one. I must also practice various other gender indicators - I cannot smile so much when I am in character!
