Cool costumes only alopecians can do for Halloween!
Hey everybody - If you have a bald head, think about the costume possibilities! Let's get out there this Halloween and win some costume contests (or, at least, scare the heck out of our neighbors' kids at the door).
I just bought some HORNS - they're not very big, about an inch and a half tall, but they look absolutely amazing sticking up out of the top of my smooth scalp. People with hair have to put them on their foreheads, but mine are going right on the top, a little to the sides. They have a flesh-colored base and will stick on with spirit glue and look like they're coming right out of my head. I'm going to also wear my old Vulcan ears...should be quite a look. Here's a photo of the horns I bought ($15.00 at a Halloween shop):

Another great idea for gals is the sexy character from the first Star Trek movie, "Ilia". Google "Ilia Star Trek", and you'll see lots of photos of her. Here's a full-length photo:

I've never had an opportunity to do this, but if I did this costume, I'd definitely go a bit longer on the white shirt/tunic (a man's dress white shirt from a thrift shop should work), and wear flesh-colored tights and then a stick-on LED red "jewel" at my throat. Easy and guaranteed to stop traffic and win contests.

Here's what I wore Halloween night to hand out candy. The kids loved it and couldn't believe the horns were "real".

My favorite Burma Shave sign from my childhood:
Says Farmer Brown
Who's bald on top
I wish I could
Rotate the crop.

Mary, I wrote a poem on 16 signs leading up to my friend's party house. Now that I look at it again, I see that it can also be hair-loss related...tee hee!
When first you drive
Along this lane,
You're still alive
And free of pain.
As night wears on,
You just may find
That you will join
The Zombie kind!
So take this turn;
You're almost there...
To lose your soul,
Your skin, your hair.
Where spirits rise
Up from the grave
And no more need
A Burma Shave!
(See my Mona Lisa half-and-half face above? One side different from the other...bwahaha!)

I took the scarf off partly through the party to reveal a shaved head. Boy, did I shock a couple of church members! They asked me why I shaved my head, so I guess they never heard me tell about the alopecia over the last few years! My fortune-telling for my Halloween character was done with me as a baldy!
