    Hi Lorraine,

    You are beautiful!!! Is your BF supportive? I am unable to discuss my hairloss without crying, so I fully understand. How old are you now?

    Hi Lorraine, i want to ask you a question, im sorry if this is a rude question... but why dont you let anyone see you without makeup/eyebrows on?

    just a question, i am 18. I dorm in penn state university. I have had alopecia universalis my whole life... i started loosing my head hair during the peak of junior year in high school. so i definately know what it feels like to be embarrased, ashamed.... all the above. but i would love to know how you feel about it.
    please respond or email me at alyrom101707@yahoo.com
    thanks

    Hi Lorraine... you look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I can understand your stress about people seeing you "bare:... very VERY few people have seen me like that too....

    Not sure if you have had your eyebrows tattoed or not.... i would just like to tell you... i had mine done exactly a year ago... and boy oh boy what a releif!!! make-up get;s done much much quicker now in the mornings, and i dont have to worry about them getting accidently rubbed off... I did however have them done at the same girl that had done two of my other greek friends's brows. I was very hesitant to go to someone without having seen their work. I was thinking of the eyeliner.... might decide it on a later stage... I have however found a formula for wearing false eyelashes top and bottom... and has given me the confidence i was lacking.

    Congratulations on you wedding!!!! May life throw at you, only moments to make you laugh and smile for a lifetime!!!!!!!!
