I did it...first time bald in public!

Went to the beach yesterday, weather hot, water divine. I was bobbing about as I usually do with wig and hat firmly in place casting envious looks at those who let the waves crash over them when I suddenly thought to hell with it I'm taking my wig off! Checked first with my husband - wanted him to feel okay with it too - he was yeah go for it, so off it came. OMG it was heavenly to be able to go under those waves the way I used to so many years ago. Whether anyone noticed I couldn't have cared less - no-one gave me a second glance. I really feel I've turned a corner here. Not saying my wig days are over - I love my wigs - but my beach days have got a whole lot more interesting. YAY!!!

i stare into the ocean and always think to my self - gees i would love to just jump
into the water it would feel so liberating. I dont have the confidance to do so, let alone go past my waist. And that is in my synthetic wig and a hat. (i wont wear the real haired wig to the beach)
So congrats to you in taking it off and jumping in.

Good for you Pat, I bet that felt great! The warm weather is coming, slowly, and I can't wait to take my hat off and enjoy the sunshine, the cool breezes and the water. It won't be today though, it's very cold outside.

It's important that you feel comfortable in what you're doing, so this is a good positive step. Well done.

Way to go! Went and looked for the picture on your site but couldn't find it. It's been so wet and overcast here I wanted to see a little bit of sunshine.
