Bonus! The mystery of William Shatner's stolen wigs
Why did William Shatner need to steal so many wigs from the set of Star Trek, and what was he doing that rendered them "unphotographable"? For that matter, what happened to the wigs belonging to the producer's multiple mistresses in the cast? We're tackling those hairy riddles in this week's bonus video. Plus! The story of how a humble housewife saved Star Trek ... and why the version of the story that's usually told is not the whole truth about just how clever that housewife really was.
I'll have a Star Trek video coming your way next weekend -- just putting the finishing touches on it now.
In the mean time, in you're enjoying Drag Race icons Irene the Alien and Bosco on this season's All Stars, I think you'll love hearing them crack each other up in an audio adventure that they recorded with me & my partner a few years ago. It's two chaotic drag queens on a Dungeons & Dragons campaign -- basically like an audiobook that you can put on and enjoy while you're doing something else. Bosco & Irene are great friends in real life and it's so much fun to hear them improvising their way through a fantasy romp -- here's the audio: https://youtu.be/rD8tJTtAMYA

Now I have images stuck in my head of Shatner wearing self-modified wigs as toupees... modified to the extent that they were "unphotographable". It makes Patrick Stewart's "Pax Romana Geri-Curl" toupee look downright dignified.
You realize, of course, that it's possible that William Shatner thought he could take the wigs because he also was sleeping with Gene Roddenberry
I am so excited! I missed the last video (phone problems) so I didn’t realize Star Trek was coming! Woohoo! I’ve been a fan since I was a young teen in the 80’s watching those reruns.
Yeoman Rand's lattice beehive has to be the most coveted!
I know! Surely that one was the most complex!
