Kate Gosselin’s Wig Brings Halloween Hair Scares

You know, just the other day I was hoping that someone would satisfy my need for a highly styled coonskin cap. It's time the trademark topper of fashionistas like Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone got a design update and made a comeback. Imagine my excitement when just this morning I found out that the Kate Gosselin wig was available for purchase. The hair chunk is meant to complete your Jon and Kate Plus 8 Halloween costume, but it could do double time to give your '"slutty frontiersman" costume a fashionable update.

It’s unfortunately no secret that Gosselin’s front-chunk ‘do is in need of serious therapy (and Jon’s attempts at hair restoration may round them out as the X-couple with the worst hair—which could also be a hit Halloween costume). Her headpiece may not be made from a gelled and hair-sprayed raccoon; the reverse mullet replica “made her laugh her head off” on TLC’s “Questions with Kate.” Certainly because of the many costumes one can derive from the dead animal wig, they are selling out in New York stores, according to the Today show (who had to pass the thing around to try on for size).

Like Plus 8, this wig wont be the only celebrity spinoff this weekend. Retailers are expected to hit it big with Kanye West/ Taylor Swift combos, Bernie Madoff masks, and Michael Jackson garb. “It’s more fun going as someone who is infamous, rather than just famous,” a shopper said outside of a midtown costume pop-up. Or, it’s more fun going as someone with a permanent bad hair day.
