I've been AU since 1989. At the time, I was a flight attendant with Pan Am. Since 1991 I've been helping women get back their self-esteem by designing and importing beautiful vacuum-fitted hair prostheses. I love to ski, ride our Harley, cook and spend time with friends. My husband has a daughter and we have 2 cats! We live in New Hampshire in the country.
Hey debbi! How are you.
I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us.
hi! I was thinking about going to that dinner..but Fri I already have obligations ; ( I didnt realize it was so soon!! Where will you be in NYC? It would be nice to meet up!
Hi Debbie, I just joined Alopecia world. It is very lonely in my world, with no alopecia friends. I am doing great....still miss my hair, but love my wig....I had to send it back for a few repairs, but when I got it back and had it restyled, I found no one could cut it the way Candi could.....I had it cut in a shorter style which I really like, but will someday order another longer one.
I would love to get down your way to see you again.....my husbands sister just moved to North Carolina, so if we drive down sometime to see her, I will give you a shout and maybe we can stop by and take you out to dinner....
take care...I enjoy getting your newletters

Hi Debbi,
Sorry I missed our annual picture this year. I had to cancel all my plans last minute because my daughter was in a bad car accident. We'll have to take 2 head shots next year!!! I just won "Boston's Best Tattoo" contest and got a $500 gift certificate for a tattoo!!! Nice to see you here.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
Wow! Thanks. I tried to pick some "encouraging" and kind of uplifting songs :)
You know, the whole reason my mom became a state representative was so that she could try to raise awaireness about alopecia in Delaware. Then I gues she started thinking about how expensive it is to get full scalp protheses and how insurance companies don't cover it in Delaware. So she made a bill mandating insurance companies to pay 500 dollars for full scalp protheses. In June, I think, Kayla Martell(Ms. Georgiatown) and I went to speak on behalf of the bill. It got out of the committe and then when it went through the house and the senate we didn't get to speak for it(because we missed it)! So then on tuesday the bill was going to the governer to get signed so my mom took me and invited two other people Alopecia!(Kayla Martell and a boy named Mattew.) It was really neat because the governer had a podium and everything set up in her office!
Hope your having a great summer!
It will be one year on August 11th. My husband is an electrician apprentice. He is really amazing and makes me feel beautiful. We went to the beach last weekend and for the first time in the 27 years that I have had alopecia I went on the beach with no hair, just a hat. It was scary, but great that he so supported me.
Hey Debbi- It's Amy I met you today and plan to come in soon for a wig. Since I left you this morning I have gone through the range of emotions. Now, I can hardly wait to shave my head and come see you again :) My mind is still racing but I'm excited.
It's a silly name I know but ithat's what my daughter called me when I was pregnant. I liked it :) I will let you know when I can make it ou there again.
Hi Debbi,
I LOVE the new tattoo!!!! It's awesome just like you!! Don't ever forget that you were my inspiration, thank you again!!! Big hugs to you. If you're interested in the Boston get together, let me know.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty

HI debbie! how are you I have a quick question for ya. i have some friends that want to donate thier hair, but they dont want to donate to locks of love they heard too many horror stories from personal friends who daughter and nefew who tried to get an hair peice locks of love wanted to charge an outgagous price. I was wondering who can i direct my friends to donate hair other than locks of love. I mentioned you ofcourse But i dont know if you accept donated hair? please get back to me when you can with information. And other hair vendors that accept donated hair as well makes the wigs.
Hi Debbi,
Looks like September 13th it is. We are throwing out ideas on places. I have had suggestions of The Cheesecake factory, Vinny T's (Italian), and Firefly (BBQ). I was thinking around 11 - 12ish for brunch or lunch. Let me know your thoughts. I'm really getting very excited. I can't wait to meet everyone.
Love and Hugs,
