I actually live in Lincoln Park. Right by the Weiner Circle. The smell of those greasy-ass french fries and fattening hot dogs blows in to my window everyday and it's so damn good!
My bf works on Michigan. He says he walks down to Chestnut a lot when he needs to get out of the office...which is quite office.
Why did you move? How do you like Atlanta?
Hi Ashley...that is EXACTLY how I am losing mine. It has receded all along my forehead but underneath it just keeps coming forwards. I just cut my hair and put a lot of blonde in it. It definitely seems to help to make my forehead not look so big. A lot comes out in the shower...I'm just amazed at how much comes out, yet I am not bald yet!
I have no brows. I went to get them tattooed. I went swimming today and I couldn't tell you how much better I felt about getting out of the water and still having them there.
Have you had any regrowth? I've had a couple of lovely white hairs grow in, but they just fall right back out.
Where did you live in Chicago? Were you here long? I don't know if I could live anywhere else, unless it was really warm...and by the ocean!
Hi Ashley...I just joined Alopecia world and I'm real interested in getting a hair piece from New Hair Technology and was wondering if you had any advice for me???
Hi, Ashley. It was great to meet you at this year's NAAF conference. I also wanted to thank you for being an Alopecia World-class member. I certainly wish you great joy and good success in all that you do. :-)
Hi Ashley! I live in GA too. Your hair is gorgeous. If you don't mind me asking, where do you get your hairpiece? I can't seem to find anything around here.
Hi,
Ya, another crazy night…went till around 6 then hit the bourbon trail. Got home late Monday night and still waiting on my lost luggage. Did you get to see your parents? Hope you had a good time!

I have been reading your blog and notice that you are wearing a vacuum hairpiece. Would you be able to tell me how the piece would feel like to wear during the summer. I have heard that they get really hot but wanted to know if they are breathable like the advertisment had advertised.
I love your vacuum piece!! I had my first spot of AA in December of 2006 when I was 28. I had spots here and there but in January of this year I lost all my hair in about 2 weeks and am now au.
I have started looking into a vacuum piece and since yours looks so great I am definitely going to check out the place where you got yours!!
Hi Ashley,
You look great! I lost all my hair everywhere about 2 years ago. Before then, I never had a spot! Anyways, do you have eyelashes and eyebrows? You look great! Thanks, Jenn P.S. I am a FL Gator! My husband and I both went there! :)
Hi Ashley - your wigs look great. Also loving your approach to not seeking treatment and just enjoying your life as it is - that's how I want to go about things. Worrying too much about trying to fix something that might not be fixable is exhausting.
Hey, thanks for responding! You have no idea how much better it makes me feel to see women like you on here who still look amazing and do what they want!
So I got my first 2 spots about a year ago and the steroid injections worked. But now I'm getting several more and my dermatologist told me that the shots sometimes dont always work. So I'm pretty nervous about that! How did yours start out? Also I would be VERY interested in where you get your hair it looks great! They look so real and very cute!
Hey Ashley, I recently joined on here, and was looking for people my age. I contacted you on Myspace so I hope I'm not bugging you! As of right now they say I just have alopecia areata, but I have several litle spots so who knows.. But anyways, I was hoping we could chat! You hair looks great! A woman here in Colorado talked me into buying a $300 wig that looks ridiculous and very fake! But you look amazing I would never guess your hair wasn't real! Well, I hope to hear from you soon!! - Katie
Thanks, Ashley. I think I'm going to stick with the regular wigs right now, especially since summer is coming and I don't know about the heat. However, I just got my brows and eyeliner tattooed this week and I'm LOVIN' it!!!! Will post pictures soon! Thanks so much!

I'm the same way -- I'd rather have my hair on in public. There's nothing wrong with that!
Take care, LeslieAnn
