Sorry I didn’t do a post yesterday, I was counting my hair.
147245 – twenty three fewer hairs than last month.
I’m going bald.
And I’m scared of WIGS.
I have a WIG PHOBIA.
WIGS freak me out completely.
I don’t want to wear a WIG.
I don’t want to.

/ July 13, 2012Dear trh,
I don’t like hats and scarves – if you’re wearing a hat and a scarf and a psycho comes along he’d pull the hat down over my eyes so I couldn’t see what was happening, then strangle me with the scarf.

I tried doing a comb-over but I fell over my coffee table and walloped my chin on the carpet. It hurt.

/ July 13, 2012Dear Dotty,
Don’t fret so. When a hair falls out, the follicle has a rest for a while, before another takes its place. On average there are over one hundred thousand strands of hair on an adult head. Blondes average about 140,000 strands, brunettes average 108,000 and redheads average 90,000. You have 147245 hairs! You have more than your fair share of hair!
And I reckon you must be a blonde!

Wigs are great. I see them all the time on Coronation Street, and on your Queen. It thought it was mandatory for all you Brits?

It is, but only Southerners wear them now. The Coronation Street cast are trying to appeal to the middle classes who live down there, so the wigs have to stay. Sad but true.

/ July 15, 2012I commiserate with you. As I’ve gotten into my 60s, hair seems to be coming out that is not being replaced. I know I’m blonde (well, ok, I WAS blonde, now it’s more like Anderson Cooper’s), but after while there have to be some bald spots. Then how do I cover the crud on my scalp? Wigs would only exacerbate it. Dandruff shampoo does not cure it. Good point about hats and scarves, too. Ummm, could I come live with you? Or you could come live with me and R and the two barking zombies, but you prolly wouldn’t want to…

/ July 15, 2012Dear Dotty,
I don’t know……Being Bald And Mental And Loving It…it has a certain ring to it. I like it. I guarantee it would draw people in just to see what it was all about, esp. men…they have a certain perversion about women being bald. They’ll never admit it but whether they’re running their fingers through hair or over a bald head they don’t care, as long as it’s something feminine.
Once when I was taking a higher dosage of the medication Depakote my hair would get very thin in the front of my head and look balding on my scalp line. There was nothing I could do about it so I just ignored it figuring no one looked at me anyway. After lowering the dose it grew back. Now it just gets gray every time I look at it. But I earned those stripes as my auntie says. Bring out the hair dye and turn back the clock. My point is, it’s all in the mind. If you don’t mind no one else will either. Your wonderful personality will be all that they see.
It’s true, at least it works for my three personalities.
