Maya Hakvoort In Elisabeth (2003)

“Cigarettes are food for broken souls.”

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

I'm not accustomed to happiness, I wouldn't know how to deal with it.

Rather, I crave a bearable melancholy. Not the kind that is soul-crushing, but the kind that slices like a fine paper cut on your wrists. It stays tucked away in a corner of your heart, quiet and patient. Like a nightingale who sits in darkness and sings in solitude.

Some glorious wigs in Elisabeth Productions

Essen, Germany — obviously the trendsetter, chef's kiss

ft. Pia Douwes, Annika Bruhns

Pilsen, Czech Republic — no explanation necessary, just look at the length

ft. Soňa Hanzlíčková

Takarazuka Flower Troupe, Japan — the design blending into her jacket is perfection

ft. Asumi Rio

Toho, Japan — most wigs post-2015 are good and have beautiful movement. And I love that all Tods get different wigs complementing their individual styles.
