About Me:
Having been bald on and off for many years(since I was 8) I finally decided to shave the last of my hair off and face the world shiney headed.
It took more guts than I ever thought I had as being seen bald was the worst possible thing I could think of at the time, it scared me, people hadnt been kind and I was terrified.. and now I work as an Alt/Art model using the fact I am bald to gain me work.
weird how things turn out.
There are still the odd days where I look in the mirror and want to cry, but thankfully they are few and far between.
The thoughtless comments still occasionally hit home but you would never tell.
Being told I am brave is the hardest to deal with, I'm not brave, I don't have a choice in this, so I have HAD to face up to it and for the most part now I am happy this way.

My kids are proud that their mum is bald, theyve grown up with it so to them its normal.
I just wish that sort of acceptance could be universal.
Are you age 18 or older?

    Hey - even if you are "normal" the world can be an ugly place. If they aren't nice to you perhaps you can sneer at them like you do in the pictures, I'm sure they'd think twice next time LOL. I think you're beautiful!!! Keep smiling!

    You are unusually beautiful. You wear the bald look exceptionally well. I can understand why people want you as a model.
    My own wife is bald and beautiful like you are. She has alopecia universalis.
    I am one of those men who finds bald women to be very beautiful. To me you can see a woman's feminine features better if she is bald. To me it enhances a lady's beauty and feminine allure if she is bald.

    I also noticed that in some of your photos that you are with Kumi, the beautiful bald lady from San Francisco.
    The two of you bald and beautiful women together is lovely. You ladies are hot!

    Hi there! I also live in Cardiff! I have alopecia universalis...so a total baldy!! I've had it for just over 6 years now and am actually pretty confident and happy. There are tricky moments and I do have the occasional sulk, but like you, on the whole I'm a happy bald chick!!! xx

    I too have embraced my sleek look and yet just as you explained..there are days..or moments...something happens when it somehow creeps back in...feelings of sadness.Yet.. I continue to stand tall...proud and know it's me who is in control of my feelings and my life.No other can ever walk in my shoes, except for those who have lived with Alopecia.
    Nice to meet you
