A wig based on the gravity-defying hair of A Flock of Seagulls vocalist, Mike Score.
 
Although summer is officially in full swing I’m one of those people who likes to plan ahead for Halloween. I’ve got a group of friends who really take this holiest of unholy holidays very seriously (last year I went out as Adam Ant—let that sink in) and believe that it’s never too early to start thinking about who you’ll pretend to be on October 31st. So as a child of the 80s, my head nearly exploded when I came across this wig that will allow you to cultivate the impossible hair once worn by Mike Score—the vocalist and keyboardist for New Wave band A Flock of Seagulls. Say what?

The gravity-defying wig can be yours for a mere $20 bucks over at the site 80s Tees.com and according to some of the testimonials on the site some folks even thought that it was real hair when they saw it. All I can say is that this thing would have come in handy when I got thrown out of A Flock of Seagulls show (after sneaking in when I was fifteen on a dare) because everyone would have clearly known I was “with the band.” It’s unclear if Mr. Score—who was a professional hairdresser before starting the band—has anything to do with his signature 80s hairdo being sold as a wig to the masses so if you (like me) know you can’t possibly live without this amazing head-topper, you might want to act fast!
