Where do they come from? I have read that the Huguenots who had to flee France brought them to Holland. My own research convinced me that leading up to the French Revolution, the Black and Coloured elite were somehow forced to disguise their physical Blackness, which stood for Blue Blood or Old Nobility and superiority. So as not to provoke attacks, and make a concession to equality. The blond wigs went together with white make-up which was laced with heavy metals. This made them also a bleaching cream. If they were White’s, as is claimed, why the hell did they need white make up and bleach? So with these wigs and bleaching crème, they had gloves, wide brimmed hats, umbrella's and veils to keep the complexion as white as possible. We all know that people of colour tan easily. Then all this spilled into portraiture and people described as 'black' would be painted as White's. And these are the fakes they show us in museums. But Egyptians were fond of wigs too. So wigs were a sign of importantcy as well. So these are my humble attempts to understand these things and I hope someone will work with me on this, and provide his or her own thoughts. But to be clear, those blond horsehair wigs should be whipped off and brought outside to be burned! [/QB][/QUOTE]
