I need to borrow - or be given to - an old TOUPEE

I am serious.
I'm getting ready to be part of the crew in www.48hourfilm.com
we're making a movie for the City of Greensboro.

The screen writer has informed me we need a toupee, the cheesier the better, and part of my job is to secure props and costumes.

Help?!
Anyone?
Goodwill won't do for this one.
pm me if you can help

stick the mesh to the edge of the area you want to be the toupe, apply your crepe hair using your adhesive of choice. Cut out your fake toupe.

We did that in an Am-dram production of "The Death of a Salesman" donkey's years ago

It's not really for the City of Greensboro itself, it is for the Greensboro division of the 48hour movie project.
Now - about the toupee -
I'll need it by the 18th of June.

I'm going to google toupee makers in the area...

He probably has several squirrels you could borrow. I think that's what he wears on his dome.
