写这篇主要是觉得这个插图好有趣——
In eighteenth-century England, women's wigs were sometimes 4 feet high.
These remarkable headdresses were dusted with flour and decorated with stuffed birds, replicas of gardens, plates of fruit, or even model ships.
Sometimes the wigs were so elaborate they were worn continuously for several months. They were matted with lard to keep them from coming apart, which made lice and insects a constant hazard.
Special pillows had to be constructed to hold these giant creations, and rat-resistant caps made of gilt wire were common items.
Mercifully, the wig craze died out quite suddenly in England in 1795, when a hair-powder tax made their upkeep too expensive.
18世纪的英国，妇女的假发有时高达4英尺。（4英尺≈1.21米）
那些奇特的头饰上撒有面粉，装饰有鸟的标本、花园模型、装有水果的盘子，甚至还有船的模型。
有的假发非常考究，有时要戴几个月。这些假发还抹上猪油，以免散开。这使虱子和昆虫一直成为麻烦。
为了放置这些庞然大物，不得不制造特别的枕头，镀金铁丝的防鼠帽也很流行。
幸亏1795年英国征收发粉税，使这种装饰变得太昂贵，这种假发热才突然消失。

最后就想说一句，她们的颈椎没问题吧。
