Wigs of Horror
In order to promote Shakugan No Shana which is premiering on 1st July, the marketing team came up with the idea of a Shana-look-alike contest. This involved photographing 12 FHM girls ( from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines) in the Shana costume. Naturally, the photoshoot had to be done in 4 different places since the girls were based in different countries.
The photo shoot for Malaysia and Singapore were scheduled to be held on Monday and Thursday respectively. We only had 3 sets of Shana Costumes ( including the red wigs, pendants, shoes and stockings) so once the Malaysia side was done with their photo shoot they had to ship the costumes over to Singapore immediately for the photo shoot here.
The costumes arrived back in Singapore on Wednesday but to our horror it was returned in a very bad condition. Buttons had fallen out and a pendant was missing. Worst of all, the wigs (which are so long it would reach your butt if you put them on) were so tangled up! If the FHM girls were to wear that wig they would look more like homeless girls who haven’t bathed for days rather than hot fiery Shanas.
Panic stroked and all of us fumbled to get the costumes ready for the FHM shoot. The costume had to be delivered to FHM Singapore in an hour for fitting! Some one quickly got down to sewing the buttons while 2 other people and I tried to salvage the wigs.
We found a bottle of baby oil but no comb so we ended up using our fingers as combs instead! Wigs unlike normal hair have to be combed from bottom up. That means you have to start untangling the nodes at the bottom first before you untangle the other nodes (A good tip in case you decide to own your own wig). Getting the wig to look acceptable was no easy task.It took 3 of us 40 mins, yet we were still unable to make it look like its original condition. I guess if the Singapore models don’t turn out looking as hot as the Malaysian girls you know why;)
P.S: I cant wait to see the pictures from the photo shoot.I have seen pictures of all the FHM girls and most of them look really hot, especially the girls from Philippines:)
