That is so terrible! I haven't had that happen to me luckily but I often have people look and I wonder what they are thinking. Some people are so terrible! I bet you looked fantastic !! :)

I always say karma will catch up with nasty people like that!

Amen to intelligence in both sexes!! About Christy's comment above...yes, consider where the looks/comments come from.... people who don't know any better, or have any intelligence and common decency. And, yes, I have always wondered, why is it that stars and millionaires can do whatever they please...no once blinks. When average people try to do the same, for some reason, we can't?? Who says we can't??? It is all about having the courage to do what is right for you....We have but one life that we know of, and shouldn't have to live it for other people and for their acceptance, but for ourselves - to be happy and comfortable with who we are.

Other places to dress up: church, college, lectures, professional conferences, shopping, classical concerts, the theatre, visiting out of town, parties, showers, art exhibits, the ballet, or touring the country/small towns/big cities. We can stiil get our needs in the fashion display arena in places besides bars! Granted, men do not attend all of these. I wonder if GQ magazine lists places men go that are dressier? maybe younger men do not have the finer tastes, professional standing, nor income to attend some of these events. When I was younger, I think the only place I saw men dressed up was at fraternity/sorority dances, awards banquets, job interviews, family ceremonies or weddings! Best place to show off classy wig and clothes? Business or threatre districts in San Francisco, or at a courthouse...many attorneys and judges! At least you'd get respect about your wig with more intelligent people around!

I have wondered if people were thinking/knowing I am wearing a wig...I have seen a few teen girl make comments/talk/point etc, it happened again just yesterday...If the "stars" can wear wigs why can't we??? It used to bother me quite a bit, I have looked online and I think with what everyone does to makes themselves look better, so what if alot of people "stars" or not wear wigs!

thanks, Mike...I have given up clubs for some time now, although hard to meet anyone elsewhere..toooo easy to meet someone (anyone!) there, the wrong kind, and like you state, who needs them. I always used to look at the crowd thinking I really didn't belong there, the drugs/drunks scene..but I liked to get dressed up and that was the only place to get dressed up that I had,and I loved, did I say that loud enough..LOVED the music..but I never really met many quality people, just losers, and liars, even in what seems to be the nicest club in town, upscale and all of that. Just because I felt better about myself wearing "hair" as I called it, because mine was fine and straight, but I wasn't losing it then, but I have and had do nothing hair...so part of playing dress up was a wig..I got all kinds of confidence then, until the rude/mean people start in on my....And alcohol,drugs, etc, make people into something they maybe wouldn't be normally...I see life differently now, and I don't judge anyone or poke fun at anyone, or look at anyone strangely, because you just don't know there circumstance. We all have to life our lives the best we can for US, and try to be happy. Who cares what anyone else thinks or says? But yet it is hard to ignore unkindness. Thanks for reading my blog.

It does! It might take me a while to get fully used to it. Right! And this is making me be more aware of my actions so I'm not the ignorant person. You too! TGIF! :)

Unrelated to hair loss...side bar comment..guess it takes getting used to and ignoring people who are rude or ignorant..such as I was walking into a workplace downtown with co-worker who is a "little person" ..I was amazed at the looks coming from traffic driving by. He totally was oblivious to it, of course, having had to deal with it all his life...sometimes people don't mean to be that way, they just open mouth, insert foot...or stare and gawk..without thinking about what they are doing. And we move forward, right? Have a good weekend.

After I posted that comment, I had something happen to me!! We had one of our agents come into the office to drop something off. I was wearing a scarf, which I do like once a week to work. So he said to me "are you okay". Right then my supervisor, Kathy, walked up to us. He then said "are you sick". I didn't respond so he said "what's up with the bandana?" Kathy said "oh she didn't feel like doing her hair today". I just nodded. I actually wanted to tell him about Alopecia but I didn't get a chance. I get so tired of people thinking I have cancer because I'm wearing a wig or scarf. It is nice that some of them might be concerned but they don't think that there is anything else out there that causes hair loss. I hope I can raise awareness and maybe I won't get those questions anymore.

Thanks, Allie...I just had to throw that comment out there just because I guess that to this day, it still bothers/hurts me and I can still remember how I felt. I know WHO I am, and I guess I don't need to clarify that to strangers in the world. People just don't understand many things until they themselves or someone close is dealing with it..Have a wonderful day - smile (:

I'm sorry that happened to you. I think sometimes people don't mean to be cruel, but they are just ignorant. My Mom has to remind me that all the time. They don't think that you might have a condition or have cancer. One time I was walking to a parking garage at the airport. There were a guy and a girl walking ahead of me. The guy saw me out of the corner of his eye, turned and looked at me. He then proceeded to turn to the girl and whisper something. Then the girl turned and looked at me. I wanted to say "yes, it's a wig". Lol. But I have to tell myself, maybe they were talking about my outfit. Maybe they were talking about my body. Maybe they were saying they wish they had hair like me. I try to remind myself that there are ignorant people and maybe they weren't talking about my wig.
