You are going to Montreal :( LOL! I have to get back there soon. My family was just here 2 weeks ago, so perhaps I will go up late summer. Take care and thanks again for sharing. Cheryl xo
Nice to hear that you found the scarf video...I made that and put it on YouTube on Aug. 1, 2008...It's interesting for me to see it now. That was 6 months after I shaved my head (end of January), and I was getting close to the point where I gave up trying to wear a wig and increasingly went out bald everywhere.
Well, I think it's good to laugh at stuff - there's humour in everything, if you look carefully, and finding something to chuckle at in an adverse situation is a way of gaining a little control. It's too easy to become overwhelmed by something "bad", and before you know it, it's practically consumed your life.
So... if you can step back, and move your viewpoint a leeeetle to one side... I mean, really. Our hair fell out - isn't that kinda funny in itself? We must have been REALLY bad in a former life... :) Then again, peeps like us don't need hair to be good-looking or sexy, right? :) (it says here...)
I went for the tattoos when I had just a few left. They really turned out good. I go about every 3 months for a touch up. I get the hairstroke technique. Make sure you get a really good artist. I have a friend that had a botched job and his turned orange and had to be removed several times. Ouch!!! I never had any problems. I had to avoid sun exposure and sweating for a few days each time I go. Also if you go swimming apply some vaseline to keep the chlorine out to diminish fading. The tattoos are very superficial so the exfolliate with time...thus the touchups.
Let me know if you have any questions or anything else.
