Cheeky Actress Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Have you've searched the Seven Seas for a period correct wig for the Golden Age of Pyracy, but couldn't find 'exactly' what you wanted. Well...your search is over! Chez Michel (aka Mike Kaplan) has been reenacting for over 25 years and now started to apply his talent, knowledge, and skills in to making period correct wigs for reenactors. [Mike Kaplan wearing one of his own wigs 18th Century wig with que and velvet bag. Chez Michel specializes in late 17th century to late 18th century wigs. His custom fit wigs go to every length to provide exactly what you are looking from. He can match the wig to your hair colour (or not if you fancy something else), fit it perfectly to your size head, and style it to the proper time period. Here is just an example of one of his creations: Here we have the lovely Annie Metz Faulkner (Turkey Roost Traders) showing off her lovely medium brown mid-18th century wig.

Capt. Sterling Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Ah Sorry Cheeks but that is not a wig from Mike...

I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Cheeky Actress Posted January 8, 2008 Author Posted January 8, 2008 Ah Sorry Cheeks but the wig I am wear is not a wig from Mike... Thank you Captain. I do know that you have one of Mike Kaplan's wigs. I would like to know (if there is one) of you wearing it...And.... I would love to take more shots at Reenactor Fest 4 of you wearing it! So how's about it? Member of "The Forsaken"
Capt. Sterling Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 I'll think about it.

Cheeky Actress Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 Chez Michel (aka Mike Kaplan) has been reenacting for over 25 years and now started to apply his talent, knowledge, and skills in to making period correct wigs for reenactors. Now he has a line for men. Will forward photos along. Those interested - please PM me. Member of "The Forsaken"
blackjohn Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 As an interested party, and one who comes in contact with many other interested parties throughout this wonderful place called the internet, while Chez Michel has a great product, I believe his sales must be severely hampered by his lack of web presence. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Cheeky Actress Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 True, Blackjohn. I am trying to obtain a email address from Mike as we speak! I hope to have a 21st century form of communication soon. Also, my scanner blew a bulb...I need to scan the new wigs he has for sale...perhaps tomorrow. Member of "The Forsaken"
Capt. Sterling Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 It would be nice if Pinky would get himself a webpage, but since he has been bucking such a thing for years now... Don't count on it happening any time soon...ie don't hold yer breath.

Cheeky Actress Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 (Sigh)...But for those who have delt with him, whether in business or another reenactor...he prides himself with one-on-one service! Very gracious man, indeed. Member of "The Forsaken"
Capt. Sterling Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Aye he has a true servant's heart but ye think I'm stubborn ...snigger. He'll make his fortune on word of mouth and snail mail alone... for those who want to get in touch with him try Mr. Michael Kaplan (personal) C/O Ymittos Candle Manufacturing Co, Inc. 279 Dutton Street Lowell, MA 01852 He does extremely good work and, aye, he makes candles as well...

Cheeky Actress Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 He also carries Bee's wax candles! Member of "The Forsaken"
LadyBarbossa Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Ooooo... Very nice, Cheeky! Aye, do let me know! I'd like to put his name and link up on my website (when I get the bloody thing working properly). But I'm droolin' over th' wig for the ladies. Better than attempting something drastic with my bland, straight, uncooperative hair! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Cheeky Actress Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 For those who wish to talk with Mike Kaplan (aka Chez Michel) about your custom, haute couture period wig - give him a call at 1-800-458-8040 (Ymittos Candle Manufacturing Co, Inc.) and ask for Mike Kaplan.He will be happy to discuss all possibilities with you. If you MUST contact him via email... Merkinperuke@aol.com - but please no pictures or attachments. Mike has issues with his vintage land-line system...and it takes hours to down load. Thank you. P.S. (my apologies for the email name)! Member of "The Forsaken"
Capt. Sterling Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Yeah....you love it.

blackjohn Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Is she joking... Cheeky, are you having a laugh??? If not, the fellow has a twisted yet fitting ( ) sense of humor. No wonder I liked him! My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Capt. Sterling Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 No she isn't .... that's Pinky to a "T". The only bit she's joking about is feigning being upset by the term merkin.
