There is a movie coming out this year called "Happythankyoumoreplease". It is a drama from the Sundance Festival. I am so excited for it to come out because I like the actors in it. Also... because one of characters (Malin Akerman) in it has a form of Alopecia! I don't know if I have seen any other movies where a lead in a movie has a type of Alopecia. The woman wears turbans and doesn't have eyebrows in the movie. I think the movie will be an inspiration to me. I am excited to see if they talk about Alopecia or not, and how the character handles having it. I just hope that more items like this come up so when a woman is wearing a scarf or bald, people don't think she has cancer. In the past month I have been asked by women if I am a cancer survivor on two seperate occasions. Also, I hope that it shows women or young teens with Alopecia who see the movie that they are not alone. I read about the movie in a magazine last year and the trailer is now out. I believe it comes out in March. If you end up seeing it, please let me know what you think about it!

You did! I'm so jealous! Thank you for your review. I really can't wait to see it now. An alopecia awareness drinking party... I like that!!! What a good idea. :) I'm glad you liked the movie and I'm sure I will also.

How did I miss this? I love the show "How I Met Your Mother", and my opinion of Josh Radnor just shot up 100%. I've seen the previews and now I must see the movie :-)
