I thought it was wonderful, and great exposure nationally for AA! We need much more of this sort of coverage. But, I wish they'd spent a little less time wearing the wigs initially. Except for the one lady who didn't have one on to start with, they all wore them for quite awhile.

And, when they did take the wigs off, they started swapping them and trying each other's on. Yes, that's fun and that's what women do. But to me, that seemed too much like what too often happens to Alopecian women on TV where the emphasis is on a "makeover" - helping bald women look "beautiful" through wigs (as on Shear Genius and Tyra Banks). It was great during the last part where they were all bald.

Just my 2 cents, but thank you to all the women who participated and represented us so well.

Mary:

I wanted to thank you for your input and I totally relate to what you were saying about the ladies swapping wigs because it was a little distracting to the real reason they were there. Thank you for your 2 cents!!!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to add your comments!!!! Take Care!!!!
