Hi ms E, did you go for a photo shoot yourself? :o that is so cool! Hope you can share the results. The article is very inspirational, I would love to know how she dealt being bald when she decided to have this hairstyle and how people around her responded.

Hello girls! Great to read to read all if your experiences and im glad this forum exists :) Yesterday i went to a small lake in the neighbourhood enjoying the sun and dared to take of my scarf for 30 minutes at the end of the day when not too many people were around anymore. Another step forward :) next week I will be having my first appointment for a wig, finally getting ready for this.

When reading the last couple of posts about shaving your head, do you girls need to shave every week? I shaved my head mid July and up to now I did not have to shave it, my hair is on pause. I was wondering if you have similar or different experiences.

Someone posted this on my facebook wall today.
How cool is this?! :D

I went for my first photoshoot with my new "do" today, and the photographer and make-up artist may have created a monster! I think I've found my new alter ego! :D
Between being sleepy (and the eyelashes) I'm sitting here barely able to see the screen :D

Thanks Brenda.
You'd might hesitate, but you'd do it anyway! *o*
As Joyce Meyer says "Do it afraid" :D
Anyway, I'm AROUND--right here. That's what this is all about isn't it? Are you on facebook?

Thanks Themba and Moonflower. (:

I had another similar experience yesterday while attending an outdoor jazz event. A woman seated in front of me with her daughter and grandson turned around and told me "You're WEARING that look!" I told her thank you. She went on to tell me how my energy exudes courage, power and femininity. Then her daughter started talking about how sistah's don't compliment one another enough when they see beauty in one another. :D
When I left they threw me kisses! (:

Wow... who ever thought such a potentially "shameful" experience could/would bring so much POSITIVE attention and validation!

Before this is over you might have to poke a pin in my head to deflate it, and cover it up! *o*

I think this experience is bringing to the forefront and unleashing an area of my life I've actually resisted for some time now, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I'll share a blog on that later.

Have a wonderful Monday ladies!

Oh, at the end of the conversation she did ask me what made me decide to wear the shaved look. When I told her Alopecia, she said "well God have you a head and face which doesn't need any hair" and she started singing India Arie's "I Am Not My Hair" :D

She was wearing a wig, and I wondered if she might have an issue with hairloss herself.

I had one of the most uplifting experiences today!
When walking into a restaurant to meet my godson, a woman already seated spoke to me. I smiled and spoke back trying to place her face. She told me "You don't know me, but you just walked in here looking so bright and regal I just had to say something to you" :D

Before she and her dining partner left she came to our table and told me "I just have to tell you again how beautiful you look, and how you just walked in here like you owned it!"
Wow! I've been flying all day. :D
