Tenille Gee commented on lynne's blog post Counselling"We are all here for support, anything you need, just reach out and you would be amazed at how helpful this site really is. Not to say that counseling won't help but I have found far more help on here than I have ever found from a counselor.…"
Tenille Gee commented on Tenille Gee's blog post Fashion Statement --- arrrrgggghhhh"FYI, you are totally correct though, there is no "tactful" way to ask why someone is bald. As I said, just venting, not saying the person was right or wrong for doing it. Just made me think... a little too much I guess."
Tenille Gee commented on Tenille Gee's blog post Fashion Statement --- arrrrgggghhhh"I do definitely agree with you Laurie that I try to find common ground with people on a regular basis, I too make comments regarding earrings, outfits, etc. that I like or that catch my attention. I spend most of my day, people watching and I one of…"
LaurieA commented on Tenille Gee's blog post Fashion Statement --- arrrrgggghhhh"Well, as a cancer patient, I felt compelled to comment here... I just know that if something about my appearance makes me stand out, then it's going to attract attention, and people may comment. However, with the exception of those that are…"
"You're lucky that's all you got. When I step into the hospital or doctor's office it is a major issue. Nurses run over to me offering a mask because they think I'm a chemo patient - everytime!!! It's easier for me to say…"
Aimee commented on Tenille Gee's blog post Fashion Statement --- arrrrgggghhhh"That's one reason I don't think I would ever go out bald,or even with just a scarf. It draws too much attention, and I like to blend in."
Tenille Gee commented on Tenille Gee's blog post Fashion Statement --- arrrrgggghhhh"true enough, better than cancer patient, however, soooo very tired of being "complimented" guess it's better than people telling you that you look like crap right?"
Mary commented on Tenille Gee's blog post Fashion Statement --- arrrrgggghhhh"I understand how you feel. Recently at the public library, the woman behind the desk complimented me on my look (bald), and commented that she wished she had the courage to go for it. I asked in disbelief whether she thought I was bald…"

- I am 32 years old and have two beautiful daughters age 2 1/2 and 4. I have had AA since I was 18 but always just had small patches of hair loss that would fall out and then grow back and always at the back of my head underneath my hairline so no one could see them. Within the last year or two it has gradually been getting worse and worse. I finally decided to shave it. Now I don't worry about people seeing it or not. Yes, I am bald, and I am proud of it.

Fashion Statement --- arrrrgggghhhh

I had to go to the hospital the other day, as it turns out, I have H1N1, getting through it and almost back to 100%. But something that happened while I was there really got to me. The nurse asked me if my bald head was, `Just a fashion statement`. That really bothered me. I didn`t say anything at the time but, I think I should have. I do shave my head, mainly because I had so many patches that it was almost all gone, but certainly not because I am some fashionista. I didn`t shave my head to be… Continue

I just wanted to share with all of you an extremely positive thing that has happened in my life recently. As some of you are aware, I work for McDonalds and we just had McHappy day on Wednesday May 6. As part of our fund raising I promised to shave my head (kill two birds with one stone) I have AA and it was getting to the point of wanting to shave it so that no one would see my big bald patch showing through and it was to raise money for an amazing emergency shelter for women that is right in… Continue

I am a manager at McDonalds. Started there when my second daughter was born as the hours worked out quite well, figured if I was going to spend a bunch of time there I may as well make some money at it and work my way up as much as I can, if nothing else it will look better on a resume when I want to get back to working a "real" job... lol (I find that comment particularly funny because I think I have worked harder there than I ever have in my life) Anyways, I am pleased to announce that I am… Continue

I have Alopecia Areata, a very large patch on the side/back of my head, still hidden underneath my hair but BARELY and I think I have officially decided that I am going to shave it because I am wearing wigs right now anyways in the fear that someone will see my half bald head and I don't want the stares and questions and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Anyways, I am a Shift manager at McDonalds and my owner is aware that I have alopecia, I should mention first of all that he is a… Continue

HELP.. Wig advice, synthetic that is going REALLY frizzy.
Posted on April 6, 2009 at 11:31pm 5 Comments 0 Favorites
I knew when I bought this wig that it was a cheap synthetic wig, that being said, I still thought that it would last more than a week. I have only been wearing it for a week, maybe two and only on the days that I have gone out to do things in the afternoon/evening with friends, maybe 5-6 times. The back part now feels stringy and looks like half of the hair is broken and really frizzy. Walking up to me you would not really notice it but it feels horrible and gets knotted really easily and I end… Continue

Olivia Rusk said… - Hi Tenille,
I am Olivia's mom, Sandy and we would like to welcome you to Alopecia World. You will find a lot of support here. We have friends from all over the world. Olivia has had alopecia since she was 2 years old and has lost all of her hair twice. She handles it extremely well, and decided not to wear hats or wigs. She is involved in modeling/acting and is a Kid Caster on Radio Disney. We recently wrote, filmed and produced a music video about alopecia and bullying. Olivia has never been teased or bullied personally, but we know others who have been. You can view it on Olivia's page under videos and Olivia Starring in 'I Could Be Great!' I hope you like it and let us know if there is anything that we can do to help you.
