A long blond wig at McAlpins (a long defunct local department store chain) when I was a teen. I saw an ad for it in the Sunday paper and I just had to have it. I drove to a store across town (rather than the local one where my sister worked). I had a "cover story" about how a group of us were buying it as a joke for a girl that hung out with us. In retrospect, I'm sure that the sales lady didn't buy the story and knew who the wig was really for, but she went along with the flow and made a sale.
