Bald Actors – An Important Resource

]]> 140426168_921baa9519.jpg

Actors are in a unique position. They are able to able to bring trends to the surface. Most of us don’t have a choice about whether we go bald, or not. When baldness is trendy, it does become a lot easier. While, I am not sure baldness will be trendy for women, anytime soon – it is helpful to know about women like Gail Porter. At the end of the day, when I am feeling insecure about the state of my hair (or lack thereof) thinking about people who live with confidence, while being under the scrutiny of public domain helps me to come to terms with it. Keep in mind, I don’t always feel bad about what my hair is or isn’t doing. But I will admit, that sometimes it gets the better of me.

So let me ask you this. Of all the bald actors out there, which one do you identify with most closely. Once you have voted, please leave a comment, about why you think so….and let us know why this person is a good “billboard” for baldness.

Baldiness – How Did You Find Your Way Here?

]]> OK, I admit it- it’s a slow day in the world of me relating to bald worthy news.  I thought I would fill the time, by showing you how some readers found their way to baldiness – during this first week of 2008.  This is not how everyone found their way, just some random searches that stuck out in my mind.

  •  Hair cut for bald men – there is such a thing.  It’s called “Going NBA”
  • Mustache growing supplement – why would anyone want to take such a thing? – Enlighten me, please
  • Are hairy people not as evolved – I spit out my morning coffee, when I read this  – I had to mop up coffee that went all over my keyboard.
  • Regrowing hair on a dog wound – ???
  • Curly Haired Australian Pigs – oh yea, I wrote about them – they kind of look like  very overweight sheep
  • Naked Gail – Sorry folks – Baldiness is NOT that kind of blog
  • Reasons why men are better than women – something you won’t find discussed here either.  We prefer equality on this blog, thank you very much
  • Do women like the bald look on men? – Hell Yes!
  • Eating bacon causes baldness – Well I know that certain Victorian era doctors preferred people to eat a vegetarian diet – but I am going to look into this one
  • Coffee cures baldness – oh I wish this was true – I keep local coffee bars in business with my caffeine addiction – sadly my hair is not long, thick, or luxurious
  • Snowman tree topper – Oh I love that someone found this blog, by searching that.  I hope they enjoyed the picture of the top of my Christmas tree

How did you find your way to Baldiness?

Alopecia Runs in the Family

]]> when both Gail and Missy had hair

Beloved bald television presenter, Gail Porter’s dog ”Missy” has been diagnosed, with alopecia.  What are the odds of that happening?

 ”Missy” is a Shar Pei, and will now have to wear a sweater, to keep her warm in winter.

When told by the vet, of her dog’s condition, Ms. Porter responded with the following statement:

You’re kidding!

Considering Ms. Porter’s attitude about being bald, I am sure that both she and “Missy” will deal just fine.

Bald or Balding Mentor Needed

]]>

I think I need a mentor.  Not an actual mentor ~ more like a muse, or a model.

Someone who is out there living life largely without hair.  Bald Man had Gail Porter to talk about.  I need someone to shadow.  Someone whose life is inspirational….just by doing everyday little things with style.

Do you have any ideas?

Please share them…your idea just might be the one that I choose.

Gail Porter Supporting Life After Stroke Awards

]]> Gail Porter & Life After Stroke AwardsNews of the lovely Ms. Porter has been scant of late, but she has turned up this week at the Life After Stroke Awards in London. The purpose of the event is “to celebrate the achievements of people who have rebuilt their lives.” Wonderful, really, that Gail seems to be turning up at so many charitable occasions.

Look at that cover shot?

Gail before her alopecia. And such a serious look. I suppose it’s befitting a paranormal investigation.

Gail & Honey Porter Celebrating Mother’s Day

]]> The Sun has a couple of photos from a recent pre-Mother’s Day tea hosted by designer Pearl Lowe. (Mother’s Day is observed in March across the pond.) Among the pics is this lovely one of Gail and her daughter, Honey.

Gail and Honey Porter Celebrating Mother's Day

They look so happy, don’t they? The Sun has another one of them coloring. I find it hard not to smile when I see famous people acting quite ordinary.

Gail Porter Turns up for Show and Tell

]]> Here’s a quick little story about our very own Ms. Porter: Seems she popped into her old school, Portobello High School in Edinburgh, to help a family friend out with a presentation.

The friend, 15-year-old Eve Learmonth, lives on the same street that Gail grew up on. “I’ve known Eve since she was born as she’s growing up on the same street as I did, so I was delighted when she asked me to take part.“

Gail Porter Wants to Relocate to Uganda

]]> Sweet as Honey by FUNKYAH ( IN JEDDAH )Sounds like Ms. Porter has a new crush…

No worries, James, it’s not another man, but Uganda… the country. After a recent visit to promote Fair Trade goods, she sounds rather smitten.

Oh yeah, it’s a bit naive; but surely that part of the world is permitted all the kind thoughts and good will it can get.

I’d like to bring Honey up somewhere like Uganda. I was amazed at how everyone worked together and the happiness of the people. She would benefit from everything there. We Brits appreciate nothing. We take things for granted, they don’t. We could learn a lot from them. Not long ago, lots of atrocities happened there, yet everyone was always smiling They’re very poor, they work all day and many live in mud houses with no electricity or water – but they survive.
