"Bare Canvas"
As a child I developed alopecia.
From the age of 5 until the age of 52 I wore a wig.
Dancing, running, swimming,
hot, sick, uncomfortable,
here, there, everywhere,
everyday, for 48 years I wore a wig.
I was programmed by society--and by myself--
to believe that a wig
was the
only
option
to baldness.
Friday July 31 2009 was the first day
I did not put a wig on.
