Comments on the clue
1.Graphic surface.
2.Straightforward with a good surface reading
3."Acquiring" is not very precise as a containment indicator; it could equally well suggest concatenation.
4.Simple and proves that good clues don't need to be complicated
5.Do people model wigs? If so it's a nice enough story for one of my marks.
