- Foam wig for the incomparable ME (@methedragqueen) worn at the NADC final at Royal Vauxhall Tavern (@rvtofficial)
Congrats to all contestants the entire season was OUTSTANDING! And of course to the spectacular winner!
Loved making this, obviously inspired by the incredible creations from Priscilla. I will be taking commissions for new pieces in the new year.
Paints used are Liquitex (@liquitexofficial) acrylic inks! Through an airbrush they are absolutely delicious!
Hope you like 😊

I was there when Maude Boate (Michael Gates) invented these foam style wigs. All of the materials came from an industrial waste/offcut facility called Reverse Garbage. Basically we were all so broke we didn't have money for anything so Maude came up with this to cover the cost of 'wigs' for herself and then for production budgets. She probably started making them in 1993 as far as I remember. Of course Stephan Elliott stole this and a lot of stuff off us for Priscilla the movie. Then much later Maude got the contract to make the wigs and headpieces for the long-running stage production of Priscilla so what goes around, I guess.
Thank you for sharing this story! I find it so fascinating that foam wigs were invented out of necessity, and made from sustainably sourced materials.
Wonderful comment, thank you!
reverse garbage in Milton???? that’s amazing!

Lizzie Gardner was coming to Seattle to give a lecture on her designs for, P,QotD, and a friend of mine was working at the museum that was sponsoring the event, so I decorated the lobby of the theatre the presentation took place in.
The largest wig is about 3’ in diameter. I use backer rod, and weld it together with a heat gun.
The depth of color that you layered is soooo stunning
I’m a year late but I am so blown away by this! Wow this is amazing and you’re amazingly talented! 😍😍😍
Same as myself but better late than never. Anyhow we are fashionably late darling
same! its so creative and its my first time seeing it done like this, im glad i clicked on this video, its just so amazing to watch the process too
I need more tutorials of foam wigs like this ❤❤❤
This just popped up in my feed. Super cool.
For all the drag queens out there... I'm so sorry people are trying to make y'all out to be something you're not. Please continue to be your authentic selves and don't let the bastards drag you down!❤ much love❤
Mines too
They are doing that all on their own.. " trying to make yall out to be something you're not " yeah.. boys that want to be girls... that they are NOT.
Drag Kings too!
I’ve always wondered how these were made. Thank you for sharing your incredible skill. Truly a work of art from a very talented artist.
She’s gorgeous! There’s a water based, odor free contact cement from Worthen Industries called, Worthen Formula 1812 (like the Overture!)! They don’t ship it in cold weather, and l don’t know if they have a distributor in Europe…I’m glad to see you wearing a respirator and gloves!
I enjoyed watching this video. I've seen some of the better known drag artists wearing these and had so many questions about the construction but i see that they are basically sculptures. I applaud you talent🙏. Please stay safe and be well.
Thank you very much thats lovely to say. Yes they are very much sculptures, I would also say there are many different ways to go about making one. This one was only my second and I myself am still figuring out what is the best way. A good tip for prop making is that theres no wrong way to make a prop 😁
It's absolutely mesmerizing to watch you work. Well done!
I've always wondered how these were made, thank you for sharing and thank you TH-cam for recommending me this upload. 😄❤💇♀️
Sometimes youtube algorithms pop up good stuff. And this is good stuff.
Two years later but I'm so thankful for this video. The attention to detail on your work is insanely great. Greetings and blessings to everyone from Venezuela.
This was wonderful to watch. The end wig looks like yummy, juicy, lolly straps.
This is so cool!! As a wig stylist and cosplayer myself, I gotta say this is truly impressive work
I was hoping to see someone wearing it at the end 😢

This is incredible! Thanks for sharing. What type of foam are you utilizing?
It's expanding insulation foam at the beginning, eva foam sheets and dowels for the rest
the foam rod is a type of neoprene foam rod. its annoying to use and expensive, probably wont use again haha
What type of glue?
So cool ... great idea and technique
