Jan Brady's Wig: Brady Bunch Costumes

Ranked #3,339 in Entertainment, #41,291 overall

Jan Brady gets to the root of her self esteem issues after a famous wig-out

Here we're going to remember The Brady Bunch. Middle sister, Jan struggled to find her place in the family and once she thought that wearing a curly dark wig might help.There were a lot of troublesome toupees and hopeless haircuts that made them want to curl up and dye. But don't flip your wig!

Jan may have thought the party was on Wig Day? Turns out that Wig Out Day (is that what happened?!) Wig Out Day was May 25, 2012. You can wear a silly wig or have a wig party that day? Buy a wig or wear your old one backwards? Have a wig party and do the same thing. Create a new tradition and tell us about it.

These hairy situations were the stuff of classic tv plots. This is the first in a series of articles. We look at episodes of retro tv shows where hair was somehow a big component in their storylines. They feature a different show, often a US sitcom from the 1950s-1970s. Sometimes there is an overall theme including more than one show.

Information, including spoiler plot outlines come from various sources & will be as accurate as possible. A show photo will be included if possible.

Please visit the Tuesday Flashback Feature series in my blog. These deal with retro tv shows that somehow deal with jewelry or gemstones. Cindy Brady's Great Earring Caper is there. Looking for family Halloween costume ideas or group costumes? TV Costumes are always a hit.

The second installment in this series is about Cousin Itt's visit to The Addams Family.

Will the Real Jan Brady Please Stand Up?

The Brady Bunch - January 15, 1971

Jan Brady once again feels like the invisble the middle child, and wonders if changing her blonde hair might make her stand out from her holder sister, Marcia and younger sister, Cindy. She sees an ad for a wig in a magazine and buys one to wear to Lucy Winters' birthday party. The saleslady asks why she'd want to cover up such pretty blonde hair. Jan replies, "You'd understand if you had two blonde sisters at home."

While she believed that she'd be a hit at the party in her new wig, she's met with laughing and mean comments, and she leaves. The kids go to her house and apologize afterward and Jan is happy once more. This lens will be edited as often as needed when new info becomes available.

I'm always interested to hear your memories and in the interest of supporting fellow artists, I'll also be featuring a few Etsy shops where the pieces tie into the general theme of the featured story.

Life Is Not a Stage: Florence Henderson Book

From Broadway Baby to a Lovely Lady and Beyond

For millions of people around the world, Carol Brady is synonymous with motherhood, but growing up as the youngest of ten children in rural Indiana in the aftermath of the Great Depression, Florence Henderson lived a life quite different from that of the quintessential TV mom she later played on television.

Florence's father was a dirt-poor tobacco tenant farmer who was nearly fifty years old when he married Florence's twenty-five-year-old mother, and was nearly seventy when Florence was born.

Florence's childhood was full of deprivation and abandonment. Her father was an alcoholic at a time when there was no rehab or help for the disease. Their home rarely had electricity or running water. When she was twelve,

Florence's mother left the family to work in Cleveland and never returned.

Florence opens up about her childhood, as well as the challenges she's faced as an adult, including stage fright, postpartum depression, her extramarital affairs, divorce, her hearing loss, and heart problems. She writes with honesty and wisdom of how her faith and ability to survive has brought her through rough times to a life of profound joy and purpose. -- Amazon

    Fun lens, did you see Florence Henderson on Dancing With the Stars? The kiss between her and the grown up Greg would make an interesting voting module here. It was a bit of a controversy! Thumbs up for you!
