Hi! I am really looking forward to the event on March 20th! I first shaved my head in 2006... just because I wanted to... and LOVED it! (My mom, on the other hand, was a little chagrined, altho she remained supportive.) In writing about it just now, it strikes me this probably seems very strange to many, many people, that I would *want* to shave my head and make the active choice to do so. Most folks love their locks and are traumatized by the thought of losing their hair... there were more than a handful of people who were traumatized by my not having hair. ...and when losing the hair comes as a result of chemotherapy, from cancer treatment? I'm sure it is basically adding insult to injury... While I'm not going to say anyone shouldn't feel what they do, I know that being bald is an amazing experience!! If you're a female, put on some dangling earrings and some shades (and some SPF up there) and it's **SMOKING HOT!!** For men, I've always said that bald men are very handsome, enchanting.... I guess what I really want to say, and to express sans the short hair I sport now, is that Bald Is Beautifull. It's not that it's "just hair"... it's that "Baby, YOU are gorgeous, beautifull, and cool, being YOU... and it's not your hair that makes you so!!" Thanks for the opportunity, and looking forward to liberation!! Heather
