<p>The only comment I have is that EVERYTHING is ever changing. What is "in" today is "out" tomorrow. I remember when Oprah turned 50, somewhere it was stated that 50 is the new 40! Probably when she turn 60, it will be redefined for her again. My view is that I am really trying not to be influenced by what society thinks. It like we are waiting for society to accept us and then we will be ok. My mind is being ok period.</p>

<p>Marie, I hate the anti-aging campaigns too. Especially because it is REALLY not possible to win. It just drives us crazy chasing after it for as long as we can... and then we "give in" as if defeated. I love seeing women like <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Helen+Mirren&hl=en&rlz=1C1TSNF_enUS443US443&prmdo=1&prmd=imvnsol&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=ltDeTrfSDuSK2wWt2LyqBQ&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CB4Q_AUoAQ&biw=1138&bih=555#hl=en&rlz=1C1TSNF_enUS443US443&prmdo=1&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Helen+Mirren+oscar+dress&oq=Helen+Mirren+oscar+dress&aq=f&aqi=g3&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=7045l10525l0l10650l17l17l1l12l10l0l101l101l0.1l4l0&fp=1&biw=1138&bih=555&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&cad=b" target="_blank">Helen Mirren</a>, rocking her age.

WOW RoBB always telling it like it is.<br />
Hey B. Wright. Knowledge is power, if we educate the children about alopecia, they will be fine. One young lady did just that. She was a H.S student, she did a presentation on Alopecia, her life change for the better. When some people don't understand something, they act like jackasses. I like your thinking, I wish for the single ladies, I could clone you a few times. :-) Thanks for the posting.

If indeed " Society defines people by their hair " then I beg the question<br />
<br />
" Who the hell is society "<br />
<br />
Is it the chronically problematic mainstream do nothing celeb - in and out of rehab and prison ?<br />
<br />
The well known politician , screwing his house maid ? ( and having offspring in the back porch)<br />
<br />
The actor/actress that cant seem to get off the crack pipe<br />
<br />
The overpaid athlete on the Wheaties Box - taking illegal meds to excel at his job ?<br />

When I was younger - going back like 20 yrs ... society , the media , the government , and most public servants acted like adults.<br />
<br />
Seems like these days - everyone's acting like a spoiled 13 yr old that hasnt gotten their way.<br />
<br />
Until Society becomes competant again , its all one big cartoon to me.<br />
<br />
Great Post and Reply to both of you !!<br />

Nice post. You make an excellent point. However, I believe that this can just as easly be applied to many aspects of beauty as defined by our culture. For example, I'm having a very difficult time watching my face and body change with age. I look in the mirror feeling 35 but looking 55. Ouch! Anyone my age knows what happens when you turn 50: it seems like overnight you have a poochy belly, that strange roll across your back (you KNOW what I'm talking about!), jowls, marionette lines, sagging…
Nice post. You make an excellent point. However, I believe that this can just as easly be applied to many aspects of beauty as defined by our culture.

Anyone my age knows what happens when you turn 50: it seems like overnight you have a poochy belly, that strange roll across your back (you KNOW what I'm talking about!), jowls, marionette lines, sagging boobs...the list goes on! Society dictates that somehow we are not supposed to tolerate the natural effects of getting older, musch less embrace or feel good about them. I think society may be closer to accepting Alopecia than it is to accepting normal aging. What does this say about us? More personally, what does my great dismay over looking old say about me?
