Seems like everyone in the entire world has been following what’s been going on at the Cannes Film Festival the past couple of weeks.   What you see on Entertainment Tonight or read on Perez Hilton’s blog (which by the way I love) is not necessarily the interesting stuff that has been happening.  I don’t know about you, but I have heard just about enough of who Lindsey Lohan has been kissing, or Angelina Jolie’s babies. The interesting goings on have nothing to do with A listers (or has beens), its the everyday regular people that have me all excited.  Take Chris for example (he is the one pictured above).  Chris is a film student from Holland, and has come to the festival to hang out, and see some good films.  The... [Read more]

What about a lawyer – would you choose to have a lawyer (who wore a rug) defend you? What about a doctor? Would you have a problem if your doctor covered up his baldness. - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - - These are my answers: Car salesman – No -but if he really listened to what I wanted, then I might change my mind.

Image details: Congregation singing in church served by picapp.com I came across this little rant at Vox Populi at the Savannah Now online newspaper. I don’t know who wrote it, I suppose its safe to say the person comes from Georgia. “I am so tired of going to church on Sunday only to hear my preacher preach about women who wear wigs and have weaves in their hair. I have alopecia and have no choice but to wear a wig. I think it is insulting to have a minister preach on such things.” This person brings up a good point. While I believe that we should all be comfortable in our skin, there are places where wigs and hairpieces (especially for women) are helpful. Mostly its to put other people at ease. Unless we are very comfortable... [Read more]

Image details: Trees & Forests served by picapp.com Since I am obsessed with the beautiful weather we have been having in the Pacific Northwest, today’s quote will be not be so much about baldness, but about sun and shade (sometimes we just need to learn when to leave the sun alone). The quote has been brought to you by Jane Austen, from her novel Mansfield Park. To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment ~ Jane Austen [Read more]

OK so I got a bit of a theme going on today. Wearing sunscreen is important – just like flossing your teeth. Although wearing sunscreen is a lot easier! Almost 10 years ago, a great message was put on mtv. You may remember it as the Everybody is Free (To Wear Sunscreen). Not only is Baz Luhrmann’s message of wear sunscreen super valuable, but he touches upon a lot of other important topics. This is why I am going to repost the video here. There are many important lessons to be learned, and I think we all need a reminder. [Read more]
