i had a few quick tears of panic that i wasnt ready to be the bald "cancer girl" to everyone yet; so far i've been able to avoid feeling like everyone who sees me knows, and the crutches could be for anything. i know that being bald will mean i have to deal with more staring and the fact that more people will know or guess immediately when they see me. which might not be too bad, as it means probably less people will say what have you done to your knee? which can be quite awkward. but on the other hand, people won't recognise me straight away and then there'll be the whole, oh, you look so different! and i'll be able to see the cogs turning slowly as they think, oh dear i've gotten myself into something awkward here, and i'll have to laugh it off and eugh annoyingness.
but what can you do. i've got a couple of beanies (good luck it's winter) and i'll try to pick up a few more. so far i'm not keen on a bandana but i might get there. and mum is looking into a cheap wig, maybe just for going to the shops and stuff so i don't have to be stared at by children and old people and people without social skills.
i just pulled my hair back into a ponytail when i got out of the shower and cut the whole ponytail off, so now i have a messy spazzy bob for the moment. i'll see how bad the falling out is over the next couple of days and might shave it before i go back into hospital, we'll see how it goes. it's not a good feeling but it's not the worst and i'll be ok. just don't stare when you see me!!
yessir.
ReplyDeletebeanies are fucking awesome, so in some sick twisted way, it's wonderful for fashion.
i'll stare at you, but only coz i'm obsessed with you jessica rabbit!
ReplyDeletei told you: if you feel the need to do something to hair whilst you are temporarily without, do it to mine. i draw the line at gwenyth paltrow in sliding doors though, as somebody close to us has already made that mistake!
you'll be right though babe. you'll look cute as. and you have to admit it might be a bit of fun making socially retarded wankers feel awkward. and if steve does the smith thing where he shaves his hair too, then it'll just be like when brad pitt copied gwenyth's hair when they were together! (apparently i love gwenyth paltrow circa 1998)

ReplyDeleteI reckon you'd be an adorable baldy. Take it from me, I'm also an adorable baldy.
ReplyDeleteJess I think if anyone can pull off the no hair thing its u! You'll look fine!!
ReplyDeleteChin up girly, the people who really matter

jess, it was soo good to see you the other day. don't worry, your haircut looks rather rad and even made me think about cutting my hair too. hair can always grow back, remember when you cut it uber short after the peroxide days? you proved then that you can be a short hair babe and i have every confidence you'll still be a sexy baldy. i will make you a hat with my infamous glue gun. or wig. can i make you a lifesize doll wig? like out of yarn and plaited. you'd look adorable!
