Whizzy Wigs is a TAN idol group consisting of Nix, Lisa, and Estelle.
The group began as Estelle's attempt to revive her fame following a brief and troubled early career. She brought on Nix, a programmer and mail carrier who felt sidelined in Logiciel, and Lisa, an artist who stepped down from Prismage's Monochroma unit due to public pressure.
Whizzy Wigs began as a relatively underground group, but their unique visual and musical style gradually made them stand out. They gained a loyal fanbase even in the face of competition from the Palette Crew, the TAN sensations of the 1980s.
