Walking down the street in Philadelphia!

So, I am working at a Temp assignment while I look for a permanent job. I was on my way to an interview and was a little nervous, hoping that my baldness won't have a negative impact, that I get the job.



as I walk down the street, this man comes up along side me and says "looking good sis, looking good; I wish more women showed what God gave them and go natural like you; I'm tired of all these women with their horse-hair wigs and weaves; they ought to just wear what God gave them.… Continue

things and stuff, with occasional poignant thought.

I've been away for a while. Busy, with all of those things and stuff, but thought I'd pop in and beam an update into the yonder.



I attended HairExpo2011 this long weekend with the lovely ladies (and men) of the Australian Alopecia Areata Foundation - I've been calling it the AAAF (pronounced "arf" :P ). It was fantastic!

Shall we expose the Insensitives? Educate them?

Okay...two blog posts in one weekend on rude women in stores who comment on children, and on bosses and co-workers who (doctors, yet!) exposing an alopecian in front of staff...I have to say something. These insensitive people need to be held up as poor examples so they can know what they do to others, then be educated in empathy and medical facts. Others in town need to recognize and help them in our behalf if we are shy. We would be doing them a service if we can get them to STOP hurting… Continue
