I have the very best friend that anyone could ask for. My best friend ,Jennifer, has been there for me during my whole hair loss she was even one of the friends that offered to shave my head when I was ready. We have a friend ,Robert, that is in theater make-up and makes wigs and she asked him to make me a wig for my birthday/xmas. She talked to him first about being able to make one for me and when he said he could she had to say something to me about it because he needed to know the colour, length and style. The best part of it was that where Robert is going to school the theater department has a fund every semester or quarter where they make a wig and donate it someone who needs it, there was enough money left in the fund that Robert had enough to make my wig so its not going to cost Jennifer an arm and a leg. I know she could have kept it a big surprise and got the information out of me some other way, she wanted to make sure that it wouldnt bother me her getting me a wig for xmas. I told her I not at all bothered and I cant wait until xmas or a little after when I have a new black, Bettie Page/pin up girl styled wig.

That's a great story! I remember going to my wigmaker years ago when I had a wife and
two kids and not much money. The price of the wig had taken a dramatic increase and
I could not afford a new one, which I needed badly. The wigmaker told another customer
about me and my situation. The customer bought me a new wig! The guy was from Cleveland,
and I will never forget him. I'm happy for you Trixie.
Merry Christmas.
