Hey Girl!! I finally found another North Carolinian. I live in Hickory, an hour away from Charlotte. You know, the furniture capital, haha. Its nice to meet you.

pretty good u, i have to add my pics but these are them www.fotki.com/baldboy

Oh my gosh! You are super close to me. I know you have to know where the Statesville walmart is and I shop there sometimes, Im only 20-25 minutes from there. My husband used to work at the Mooresville walmart. Anyway, what kind of alopecia do you have ? Mine started after taking that antidepressant, which sucks. But I am happy to have this place to talk to people.

Me personally, I don't like wavy wigs. Both me and my customers have had bad experiences with them. They always matt up. I think it has something to do with the process used to make the wig wavy. Being that I don't manufacture them myself, (I outsource to china), I can't give you an answer as to what the source of the problem is, but from what I do know it is not your fault at all.

Hey to you too,
Thanx for the comment. I love my tattoos, and I love it even more when people ask me about them because that is my opportunity to talk about Alopecia. Hope you have a great day.

Well, just so you know, I think your VERY pretty. :)

Girl, you can have a family and a career. In my case, I started my family at a very young age. As you can see, Im 33 and my sons are 17 and 15. But I work at a pediatric office and Im married to a wonderful man that happens to be a manager at a Walmart store. It's hard sometimes to keep everything in check, but I do what I can , when I can and the rest just has to wait. :) When my kids were smaller, I taught them to do alot of things so they are very self sufficient. They know how to do laundry, cook, and iron. I have to admit its not always easy, especially since they are very athletic and we do football and basketball, but I can tell you that I never miss a game. Im the loudest one out there, haha. And it gets hard to try and get stuff done, but I wouldnt trade it for the world. Im really scared how my life will change when they go off to college. They are my world and I will crumble when they go, almost makes me want anotheer baby. ALMOST! haha

Hey! I'm doing petty good. You? How do you like NC state?

oo thats cool im so not creative i would never be able to be a fashion designer lol

So your the first one to go to college, CONGRATS to you! Im sure your mother is SO proud. I saw that you want to be a fashion designer, thats cool. When you are famous, Im gonna say, heey, do you remember me? and then you can make me
some awesome clothes, lol. My kids and I get along great, sometimes I think I get on their nerves though, but its all good. My older son gets irritated cause when we go shopping, people think we are a couple, haha. He's so tall though so he looks older than 17. I think its great that you arent that far from me, maybe we could hang out sometime. You'd feel right at home with my family. :)

i have no idea what i want to do and i dont have a lot of time to figure it out lol im probably gonna go into some sort of med school, im not sure for what yet tho.

Hello again my friend,
If you can believe it, my very first tattoo was on the back of my head. It was a butterfly with eyes in the wings. The butterfly has always been a symbol of freedom for me, and the eyes in the wings was because I always told my children that I had "eyes in the back of my head!!!" and after the tattoo, I guess they had to believe me...lol. Anyways, to answer your question about how painful it was, I can only say that it was more painful to watch my hair fall out every day than it was to get my head tattooed. I was so excited at the time, I don't think anything would have bothered me. In fact, the artists at the tattoo shop were taking bets on whether I'd chicken out....I won!!!! Each one after that, (there was 22 total sittings), was a piece of cake. It was my therapy and it really got me motivated to take on a brand new attitude. My self confidence grew leaps and bounds and I became an advocate for awareness and support for others. I think that if you want a tattoo....get a tattoo!!! I wish I was able to be there with you to hold your hand but if you do get one, know that I am there with you in spirit!!! Love and Hugs, Dotty

I think its great that you are doing what your grandmother would have wanted. And to be a fashion designer in NY, that is AWESOME. Im gonna be lookin for your name....and girl, I dont know about me being model material but I'd be on a plane in a New York minute, haha.

Central Florida is good. I'm from Virginia, so I'm LOVING the warm weather!

Hi there:) I'm doing well thank you. How are you doing? This site is pretty cool but it sure is adding to my procrastination!!

Thanks girl. I will definitely keep it in mind. :)
Hope you have a GREAT St Pattys Day! Be sure and wear green.

It's national care week...
time to send messages to all your friends, telling them how much you care about them.

Without friends
you would be missing out on a lot.



A friend should be radical;

They should love you when you're unlovable,

Hug you when you're unhuggable,

And bear you when you're unbearable.

A friend should be fanatical;

They should cheer when the whole world boos,

Dance when you get good news,

And cry when you cry.

But most of all, a friend should be mathematical,

They should multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow,

Subtract the past, And add to tomorrow,

Calculate the need deep within your heart,

And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.



I care about you.
Have a nice day, and
I'm glad we are friends!!! Delete Comment

Hey Girl! Hope you had a great St Pattys Day! I especially hope you didnt get pinched too much. :) I started a ew part time job today and I rea;lly like it. I just wish it was full time. You know what though? There are so many poepl there with hair problems, I felt right at home. haha :)

I've lost about 50% of my hair, and its very diffuse. Especially on the sides and across the top and behind the ears. I can use concealer and wear a tousled look for the moment.

Are the wigs you wear human hair or synthetic? I always wonder if they are hot and how people get tehm to stay on while doing differnet stuff like exercising? I thought about getting one to try for the days that I just dont feel like messing with mine. If I went to the beach this summer, what are some suggestions so noone would see my hair wet? Maybe a bandana i guess.

That would be awesome. I am so completely dumb when it comes to wigs. Where do you normally shop for them at?

Well, then you're in luck cause I have a car and a license, lol.
You just better know how to get there. =)

How do you like living in Raleigh? When you gonna be home again?

Hello Im doing great eventhough its snowing in chicago and its suppose to be springtime. How are you doing?

Hey there! Are you going to Louisville this summer?

Yes I'm definitely going. As soon as you come across a free summer, you HAVE to go! It's the best experience!

This year will be my 3rd one in a row. I like to go to new cities and see cool things, too. My first one was Minneapolis (mall of America!) and last year was D.C. (EVERYTHING!) which was cool cause I used to teach American History. I have no idea what Louisville has to offer! Maybe this time I'll just stay in the hotel. Hahaha!

im doing awesome! how are you?!?!?!

Haha! Well it's ok if I don't find something to do. I never get to really truly hang out with the other people there. So this year maybe I'll get to. It's really hard to explain what they're like. No amount of saying how awesome they are will equal the feeling of being at one! It's just awesome to see all those people that look just like you!

Thanks and I'm good. How are you? You gonna make it for the NAAF conference this year? If you've never been, it's an awesome experience.

I'm good! How are you doing? I've learned so much already from the videos. This is definitely an outreach mecca for anyone who wants to learn and encourage others with alopecia. I glad I joined.

Yeah that sounds like a great plan! I'll see you there!

I've actually only been to 2. this would have been my third but the wedding kinda gets in the way of that!! LOL. Anyway, if you ever get the chance to go, you will want to go again and again.

Hey Faheemah,
Kudos on the newspaper article, spreading awareness of alopecia is always a great thing! :) Keep doing your thing with the fashion design and let your natural talents flow! :)
~Yhoney

Hello Faheemah, Keep that positive attitude althought life isn't always positive. Like you , I'm making lemonade over here....

THANKS BUT ITS JUST ME BUT THANKS FOR COMPLMENT

Hi Faheemah,
You look great! Stay blessed!

Hey Faheemah, I'm fine, just shaved my head for the first time last week and loving it, I feel so free!

Hi Faheemah, I've had AA since I was about 9, my hair was long enough to cover the spots so I just wore a pony tail and/or covered my spots whenever I did my hair. When I was growing up, I wore braids sometimes and hairpieces sometimes. Then as a grown up, I wore weaves, it's been an adventure, but like I said, this is pure freedom.

Thanks Faheemah, I'm sure when you decide to rock a bald head you will be even more beautiful than you are now. Let me know when you're ready and I'll do everything in my power to make your day of shaving a celebration. Mine was such a wonderful celebration, as soon as I learn how, I'm going to put the video on my sight! Take care and always stay blessed!

Thank-you

hihi! how are you? how's your summer going?

Everything is going great.how about you?no problem just trying to find some new friends.

I know exactly where your coming from.

Hi Faheemah, just stopping by to say hi!

I'm good, trying to survive the cold lol
How are you

Hey feemah. I hope you are well. Where did you get your lace from?

Hey girl, you need to recruit some friends with cars! lol. Hang out in the parking lot and meet a few people. just jokes. I totally understand. Just know that we are there whenever you can make it. I will keep you posted on the meeting dates. One Love.

I sure will. The 1st meeting went very well and I am excited for the next which is on October 15th. Same time and place as the last one. I am confident that we will continue to grow and bring this vision fully into fruition. Stay connected and be blessed. I hope to see your face in the place soon :)
