Disguises

A brightly colored ball cap, a reversible coat, a wig, bandage on your nose, glasses - these are all cheap and dirty disguises.

Start with the ball cap - get a generic red hat and sew a wig into it.

Wigs are available in most thrift stores - hold off buying it till it is near haloween and it will be assumed that it is part of your "costume" and not raise any flags or eyebrows. Get a natural colored hair for the wig pink will stand out like a sore thumb.

I have several "hats", one that makes me look like I have a mullet, one with blond hair and one with black hair. The hats are unassuming but all one color with no logo. For the hats hit the thrift store and buy blank hats if you are lucky, or just rip off the badges on them.

A reversible jacket makes for a great quick change. If you are being followed, you can quickly rip off the hat, and reverse your jacket - you are a totally different person!

Glasses are tricky - frames are easy to find but you shouldn't be using real glasses to see - use contacts.

There are several companies online that will send you "color change" contacts that don't have a prescription. Do this with your new identity to your new mailbox to test that out!

Bandage on the nose is a one-off that will make you stand out in the crowd, you will need some other elements to totally disappear after ripping off the band-aid.

Get some color change contact lenses and non prescription glasses/sunglasses this week!

Finding reversible jackets is usually easier to find in sports stores.

Cheers,

Hope to find you again soon!
