"For most of my adult life, I was a total Clark Kent Truther. There was no way, I figured, that just putting on glasses would make Superman disappear.
I seriously wonder about this one, though. Like, god knows I've tried the Reverse Clark Kent and removed my glasses, and folks still recognized me. In the last few months, I wore a rainbow wig to a bar around Halloween and still got recognized. I wore a plain brown bob wig around while shopping in Sac one day (I was going to a 1920's event later that day and decided to wear the outfit around), met up with a friend without warning him about this and he still figured out it was me. And then there was the Rainbow Hippie Santa outfit.... So so far, no dice.
On the other hand, another friend, who normally has short black hair, wore a long blonde wig in a show and afterwards said that people didn't recognize her and when she ran into someone she knew after she's changed clothes, was asked, "What are you doing here?" "I'm in the play?" (And to be fair, I saw this show about nine months before meeting her and didn't realize until she told me this story that it was her either.)
I'm not sure what exactly causes the non-recognizing, but if someone figures it out, let me know?
In the meantime, I just got my hair redyed something crazy and put on some extreme lip gloss I got gifted for Christmas, so.....I guess this look will be great if we ever get around to doing that vampire themed escape room we always talk about.
Alas, I still fear I shall be recognized the next time I go into the bar in a few weeks. Darn it, I keep hoping to get unrecognizable!
