About: Wig, Dress, Accent   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

When a character uses physical props to disguise themselves. This is a staple of Spy Drama, where the hero will often use a wig and dress and affect an accent, thus the name of the trope. While never as impenetrable a disguise as Latex Perfection, this disguise is usually plausible and may even fool the audience as well as other characters. If it isn't plausible, then it's a Paper-Thin Disguise. Sometimes two boys will do this to be a tall woman in a trench coat. See also Clark Kenting for how a disguise can be complemented by mannerisms and behaviors. Examples of Wig, Dress, Accent include:
