I love the Lego wigs used in this Elroy Klee campaign for Mindplay. They've got the perfect mix of impracticality and strikingness to qualify as gen-you-wine coo-choore.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    When I see the Larry, Moe and Curly LEGO wigs, I’ll be a happy camper.

    Love this look. Gorgeous. Will definitely try one on, maybe my white mohawk with the LEDs….

      Now that could be something to behold.

    Can we donate to get Xeni one of these?

    • That_Anonymous_Coward

      Only if she promises to add minifigs of all of us who wish her well to it.  Of course it might end up being to heavy to wear at that point…

    These remind me of the old ads for the colored GameBoy (not GameBoy Color)

    • digi_owl

      Oh what mindgame Nintendo played with that.

    “gen-you-wine coo-choore”

    Someone is clearly not a fan of high street fashion…

    OK, that’s it.  I’m making a super-glued Lego tornado-helmet.

    Reminded me of Rondy in Liquid Tv’s DogBoy

    I play with Legos all of the time with my 5 year old and it never occurred to me to venture into wig making. Inspirational.
