Hey Michelle. I know we are behind the times here in New Zealand but we finally got to see the great british body last night. I just wanted to say congratulations! You were amazing and I cried..............What made me cry was thinking about Nicole and her alopecia and I just hope and pray that one day she will celebrate it as you did, I know it hasn't been easy and it isn't easy for her some days (lol I crying now writing this) I just really want Nicole to have a happy full life hair or no hair, and i know she will with love and support.

Thankyou for your inspiration.
Luv Sharon

Hi Michelle,

Yep Alopecia World is a great place !!! Pity sites like this were not around 30 years ago :)

Oh Michelle, "...two boiled eggs." (LOL) "The Great British Body" and that adorable wee Scot should never be described in such a manner! You and Gail make me wish my ancestors never left the UK.

Great profile picture Michelle :)

Hi Michelle, I spoted you as a "featured member" and just had to write.
I'm an American of AngloCeltic heritage born in Plymouth, Mass. USA. I've been told that my family was one of the first in this country from England. I'm always taken aback just how many people from the UK (or of the heritage)who have alopecia. Do you know of any demographic studies regarding this? Wow, you know the lovely Gail Porter! I'm so impressed.

that's the greatest picture/story....well done, Michelle...

i should also share the BEST comment anyone's ever made to me regarding my baldness was Star Trek related. This guy asked me, "Hey there - where'd you park the enterprise"? As a big Jean Luc fan, i was very happy with it all. I guess I've always felt that a positive presence in me brings out the positive from others, and leaves all the BS/negativity and sorry feelings behind.

Hi Michelle,
I just wanted you to know that I was at a bit of a low recently where my alopecia was concerned and I started to feel like it was the worst thing in the world (although everyone else thinks I am super strong) When I saw you on the great british body you made me feel good about myself....you actually made me feel proud to have alopecia! If we can all be as strong and as positive as you then we are all going to be an amazing bunch of people!
I've now totally gone back to my original view of how bad can it be, it's only hair! I'm not dying, I'm healthy, if this is the worst life can throw at me then bring it on!
Thank you for being an inspiration and pulling me out of a dark hole I'd fallen into lol

I love your Trekkie pic. ;o) Live long and prosper, chica.

hello how are you

hi michelle finally can put a name and face together that made kellys day but i have logged in instead of kelly see ya soon tina

Yeah that would be great, do you get up north often? have you ever heard of any alopecia meetings (or just partys for the baldies to meet up lol) in uk ive seen loads of things going in usa but nothing here, i noticed you have seen my 5 mins of fame (nhs choices) i really loved doing it and hope it will give people some hope that its not as bad as it seems and life can be just as fulfilling with or without hair and your life doesnt have to change.

You are beautiful.
My wife is also bald and beautiful with au.
I have always found beautiful bald women to be gorgeous.

Hey, Michelle. I got my hands on a copy of the Gail Porter documentary and uploaded a couple of short promotional clips. I'm really enjoying learning about Gail and you and hope that she will join us in Alopecia World. :-)

When Gail said that she's with a friend who also has alopecia, I figured you were that friend at the Simpsons premiere. ;-) What's the full title of the BBC documentary? Perhaps I can find some promotional clips online somewhere.
