“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” – Carl Jung
A few years ago, I was considering creating a horror host personality. I was going to call her Ghoulia Child, and she was going to be a horror chef. Then I found out there was already a horror host with that name. I sulked a little, then I abandoned the idea. Haven’t thought about it since, but when I came across the amazing wigs by the U.K. artist who goes by the name Ghoulia Peculiar, I felt an instant kinship.
Of course, as much as I liked her name, I was also completely drawn to her over-the-top dramatic designs. And the playfulness of her photo styling made me long for a life full(er) of club clothes and costume opportunities. You know, like the life of a horror host. Certainly Ghoulia Child would have found plenty to love in this shop!

Great wigs! I like the way she combines the gothic and whimsical, the dark and morbid elements with the vivid and bold colour, things like skulls set amid flower blooms.

I do, too! And while if you described the wigs, they’d sound like they are a 12-year-old girl’s idea of goth, the overall effect is definitely grown up. She’s amazing!

Why do I feel I just got a look into Lady Gaga’s closet? (That’s a good thing.)

I was scrolling down thinking how beautiful, then someone goes and puts on an animal heads that looks like some creepy illuminati party from a movie I saw last year…but it went back to pretty wigs so I am okay.

It can swing a bit into Eyes Wide Shut territory, but what spectacular work!
