The limited-time collection features over-the-top foam wigs, each priced at $20 or less, that will help Target guests create the perfect Halloween look. Inspired by his experience as a costume designer, March designed eight show-stopping styles: Geisha, Greaser, Starlet, Witch, Medusa, Monster Bride, Mohawk and Afro.










“I’ve been designing costumes and wigs for more than 20 years and my new collection with Target is so beyond my wildest dreams we couldn't call it anything but ‘Big Fun,’” said Chris March. “The wigs are inspired by fun and iconic characters and will help everyone create unforgettable Halloween costumes.”

“Halloween is a time for guests to have fun and dress up and Chris is the perfect partner to bring these over-the-top designs to life through the ‘Big Fun’ collection,” said Stacia Andersen, senior vice president, merchandising, Target.



Available starting Sept. 15 in U.S. and Canada Target stores, and online at Target, the playful collection serves as the centerpiece of Target’s Halloween product assortment.

Some Hair-Brained Fun. Comparing Al Pacino's Wigs To Phil Spector's.

No reason to write a review on David Mamet's Phil Spector movie for HBO, which premiered tonight since you can read numerous reviews online. But I simply had to show you the real convicted murderer Phil Spector's hairstyles compared with the wigs Al Pacino donned as him in the movie. Hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed putting them together.



Believe it or not there were more wacky dos worn by Spector throughout his life that Pacino did not don in the movie, such as a wigless Spector during his mugshot (above), which bears an eerie resemblance to Gollum.

The “Highness” Project By Photographer Delphine Diaw Diallo.

The “Highness” project, in the words of its photographer Delphine Diaw Diallo, "starts a new vision in the 21th century which includes mediums of sculpture, design, photography, collages, and music. It is a vision of a new era which gives birth to an evolved future where the audience experiences the gift that is woman. In this, we create a capsule of work that becomes timeless and unbound, a vision for future observers to witness. Indefinite and inevitable, this future will exist…"
