An interesting picture from Bill Shatner's Tekwar TV series based on the books of the same name. The image shows both a high hairline and a kind of hybrid toupee - indeed, the hair appears to be a unique mix of all three major styles (the side-parting of the "Jim Kirk lace", the thickness of the "TJ curly" and the straightness of the "Denny Crane"). Perhaps this was a nod to the uniqueness of this endeavor.
We have to admit that despite the William Shatner School of Toupological Studies being one of the most well-staffed scientific institutions in the world, with an army of dedicated toupologists studying Bill Shatner's toupees night and day, we really haven't meaningfully turned our attention to this series. So, we certainly appreciate any insight from our readers!
just a touch of gray at the sides.
ReplyDeleteI don´t know... These book covers are always manipulated and retouched. It seems more a computer generated toupee.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't so high up on his forehead, that would look kind of like the 'Jim Kirk' look. The hair on the sides make it seem like a wig more than a hairpiece though.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the look Shatner had after ST V, but before 'Generations'. It too looked somewhat like the 'Jim Kirk' look.
show the pic they used on the back of the TekWar books where Shat's toup is peeling off the side of his head. An all-time Shatclassic.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a drawing. Anyway, much mote natural than the TJ Curly Look or The Lost Years Ratty Toupee
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I don´t recall seeing Shatner with a hair like this elsewhere
ReplyDeleteSaw this in a bargain bin. The book, not the toup
ReplyDeletePeople don't usually wear wigs that high, which makes this look even more of a paradox. He almost looks like he has shaved a bit of his "hair" off to make his hairline neater.
