Red 'Terracotta' soldiers
« on: August 29, 2016, 09:28:11 »
China's first emperor (221-207 B.C.)
who built the Great Wall of China also ordered the building of the massive mausoleum with an army of more than 6,000 colorfully painted life-size clay soldiers now known as the terra cotta soldiers....mine are just in monotones like in the movies.

where was this Apollo custom you saw? I've always associated this hair with modern klickies...mine were from footballers mostly..... and only finally used them when I ran out of the 'Sammy Davis Jr' wigs and the other shorter wigs
