International Alopecia Day 2012 - Saturday, August 4!
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ON INTERNATIONAL ALOPECIA DAY THIS YEAR?
A small get-together with friends? Lunch? Picnic in the park? Walk/run? Info table at a mall? Party? Check out the previous years' videos for ideas. Plan something small or large.
It's our day to raise public awareness and celebrate with friends. For those of you who've been wanting to try going out in public bald for the first time, THIS is the perfect day!
Be a part of this year's YouTube video slideshow by taking photos of yourself and your friends on August 4 to send to me later. It's BEST if you hold up a sign (can be handwritten) that says your city/location and "International Alopecia Day 2012".
Join the International Alopecia Day Group on AlopeciaWorld and/or Facebook, and post a blog about YOUR location and plans.
Please share this with your Alopecian friends around the U.S. AND all over the world - the more countries we have represented, the better! Local newspapers and TV will report about this event if we can list a number of cities and countries taking part - it BECOMES news, and helps us get the word out about Alopecia Areata.
See you OUT there!

Hello Hosein,
It's wonderful to hear from someone in Iran! We want this event to be truly "International", and that means people from many different countries and cities.
What you can do is simply get together with your Alopecia friends in as many different cities as you want, and take photos of yourselves on August 4. The photos can be 1 person or a group. The idea is to have fun with your friends AND to show the world that people with Alopecia are everywhere.
To give you an idea, if you haven't seen the video slide shows from previous years, here they are:
International Alopecia Day 2010:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWHCmmBdy2oInternational Alopecia Day 2011:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy-RmwsobOAAll of the people in the photos should be comfortable with their photo appearing in a YouTube video like these. If people prefer to wear a hat or scarf or wig, that's fine! Some people come to these events bald, but many come wearing their wig or hat or scarf.
But, whoever is in a photo needs to be okay with it appearing with all the other photos from everywhere else in our annual video.
After August 4, people send me their photos, and the name of their city where the photo was taken, and I put together the video. Sometimes people make a sign saying their city and country, and hold it in the photo.
If you have any questions, please let me know!

Dear Mary,

Thank you, Hosein. I don't post my personal email on social websites. You can send me the photos two ways:
1. I think you can send them to me in a personal message on Alopecia World.
2. Or, you can post them on Alopecia World on your page and I will be able to use them.
3. Or, you can join the International Alopecia Day Group on Facebook, if you're on Facebook, and post the photos there and I will get them from that page to use in the video.
For now, just take pictures on August 4, and I'll post in this Group on Alopecia World after that, telling people how to send photos.
I hope this isn't too confusing.

They look great! Thanks! What is the place/location/city that I should use to identify where you are exactly?
I'll decide later how many to use, depending on how many I get from other places.
