i am relieved when ppl find out i have alopecia, its getting soooo much easier to tell ppl. i use to go bright red and stutter a bit, now i breathe and laugh and am confident.

today another person at work found out. this guy at work i told ages ago had said to this young girl at work who is very nieve about somethings, what colour would you call ali's hair? she said red? he said no, she said auburn? he said no... she is bald. she said to be quietly, your hair is red isnt it, i said no, she said what colour is your hair? i said, what hair, pointed to my wig and said oh this thing is auburn but i'm bald. and the usual that has happened a lot lately is the whole oh yeah i dont believe u... so i lifted it up, and she said she still didnt believe me! haha i pulled the sides up, and said feel my arms and legs haha she said oh wow, i said i have has alopecia since i was 14, she said whats that, i explained.

she asked me why i dont just go bald, i said i do when i go home. and i want to more, but i love wigs, i really love wigs!

also in perth we have a wig library, i have been procrastinating for ages now about donating one of my first great wigs. i hardly wore it and i got it cut and styled when i stopped wearing it. it just doesnt suit my skin tone

so that is what i will do after christmas!
