Living & working in London .
Living with alopecia now for some years ,i do have my ups and downs but i am not going to make it rule my life.
I work in fashion market research so i often get to see all sides of the fashion and beauty industries.
I coped with depression when AA came into my life & had a very hard tiime at work; Ending up losing my job. Which in many ways was ok as it gave me time for myself.
My family were very much devided on my alopecia, My mother was initialy uncomfortable with it , my sister just resorted to teasing and jokes!
My brother, uncle & father (He is Superdaddy!) were great & have really supported me.
And first, i did not wear wigs, usually scarves & hats or nothing at all. But some parts of London people are not too nice (I`ll tell you about it sometime)
So i use wigs as they give me a smarter look when working and i DO enjoy trying on new styles. Lets have fun with our wigs!
I look forward to making new friends here & will happily chat and laugh with anyone about anything,good times & bad.
I will happily share my expiriences and be a shoulder to cry on or somebody to laugh with, we all have something here to give to each other.
And of course i love the really important things in life........ Music,Fashion,Partying, & Shoes !
That is so great, I think the photo's are so positve. Allows us to relate to each other and see how other handle thier alopecia... and put a face to who we are talking to. Take care. Cheryl
On here, her name is sweet mary hill. I stole this post she made from another page called facebook. I'm sure she'd still love to hear what you have to say.
hey!!!!!!!!! :) so good to see you on here, now we can catch up like old times! how are you? not many of us from the UK on here yet it seems. xxxxxxxxxx
Hi. Well she is on alopecia world too. I forgot that that didn't come from facebook, it came from myspace. The quickest way to search her is probably to find me then look at my friends. Hope all is well with you.
Just wanted to let you know that I thought what you wrote in response to the 'Convincing a Disappointed Lover to Stay' article was quite compelling. Not only in clarity on the issue of strength and centeredness in re: to relationships, but also in having to confront some ignorance and prejudice of others. Here in America, of course, we have none of that! :)
Good for you!
I have lots of fun with wigs, too. I've had this for about 30 years. I used to be in fashion as well!
By the way, I wanted to move to London -- too chicken to do it, though.

Hi, thanks! Yes I should post some photos.... but I find it hard to use the wig and have only used it for a couple of days! So, I think, in the end I will continue going bald, and proud of it...hopefully:) Hope you are fine!
