Thanks, Galena and Sandy! I'm glad you liked the video. I think the shirts and other merchandize are wonderful. I've made my first order.

As far as national shows go, I think it might be good to keep the scale of promoting this local for this year. There isn't very much lead time, and we might get better exposure next year (I'm hoping we can make this an annual event.) So, I'd recommend concentrating on local TV stations and newspapers for this year's Bald Out.

Please everyone, join the National Bald Out group so we can post our plans and discussions about the day in one place. Women who find Alopecia World via my video and who are interested in participating, will go to that Discussion Group, and might not find posts that are elsewhere.

Hugs,
Mary

Fantastic Effort Mary and Thea!

Thank you to all of the sisters who support our coming out day. The video is great; the merchandise is great so all that needs to happen is positive media exposure. I hope a show like Tyra, Oprah or The Doctors is willing to provide a segment. It's exciting to be a part of this!
Smiles,
Galena

Sorry if some of you see this elsewhere, but I want to get the word to all the Sisters who responded on this discussion.

Here we go! I just put the video on YouTube. You can find it under the title "Announcing the National Bald Out!", or at this link:

I hope you all like it! Thank you to everyone for their comments and suggestions as to the content, and special thanks to the lovely ladies who allowed me to use their photos at the end of the video. I think that adds a lot.

On the Bald Girls Do Lunch site, www.baldgirlsdolunch.org, there are some absolutely amazing T-shirts, buttons, banners...and loads of other fun items with two different National Bald Out logo designs, as well as a great one that says "Bald? So What!" I LOVE IT! Thanks so much, Thea! To view the items, click on "Logo Products", then click on "Bald Out July 19". Remember - 100% of proceeds fund the BGDL nonprofit's national outreach to women with alopecia areata, so your purchase of a National Bald Out T-shirt (or other item) will directly benefit women with alopecia.

The next step is for everyone to join the newly-created Alopecia World group "National Bald Out". Until we get the Group up on the Home Page, you can go to this link to join:

A big Thank You to rj for all his help!

I'll be posting more soon on the National Bald Out group.

Congratulations, Linda!

By the way, Linda, could you confirm that's it's okay for me to use the profile photo of you in my National Bald Out video? I'm going to put it on YouTube shortly, and just want to confirm. Thanks!
Mary

lol, he graduated with a degree in English, he wants to be a teacher, so he'll never be able to take care of Mama, lol! Teachers are the worst and lowest paid careers I know of. But it makes him happy when he's mentoring or teaching.

Hi all, I miss you guys, my son graduated from University of Pittsburgh on Sunday and I'm wiped out! He's the last of my tribe to graduate from college, I should have an empty nest in a couple of months! Whatever will I do, lol...
Jessica, I've been using a 3 or 4 blade shaver to shave my head from the beginning. They work for me, like Mary, I shave in the shower, using my hand to find the "nubbies" and my head is smooth and shiny. I hear the blade is great though, try a couple of methods to see what works best for you. Thea, can you email me the coupon, I'd like to try it.
