Being Bald is no Laughing Matter
Being bald is no laughing matter, especially for women and children for whom bountiful, healthy locks are so closely associated.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, December 08, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Alopecia - the complete or partial loss of hair - comes in many forms and is attributed to numerous causes - ranging from autoimmune disorders to unhealthy hair care practices. Many mistakenly associate Alopecia with the effects of cancer treatment and the sick. To the contrary, many afflicted with Alopecia often live healthy and productive lives. But living with Alopecia in a society that views hair as a sign of health, beauty and status can be emotionally and socially devastating, particularly for women and children.

Annette Moore of Philadelphia is a stunning a 47-year-old professional woman who was diagnosed with two forms of Alopecia a little more than one year ago. Her story is a journey of realization, tribulations and severe depression, and ultimately a rediscovery of herself. Her mission, in addition to being a wife, mother and grandmother, is now to help others dealing with this shattering loss through increased awareness, information sharing and networking opportunities within the region, nationally and even globally. Visit www.crownedregal.com, Annette's content rich website (receiving nearly 1500 hits per month in just five months since it was launched) for her complete and painfully-candid story, photos, online video journals and links to helpful resources on Alopecia. In addition, you will find links to her YouTube videos, which have received more than 71,000 hits in the last few months.

I would like to suggest a story about the various types of Alopecia affecting millions of women and children (with African American women severely affected - as much as 15-19 % suffer from scarring Alopecia, in fact). Annette would be willing to share her personal story as well as put you in contact with her dermatologist, Glen H. Crawford, M.D.,Chief of dermatology, the Pennsylvania Hospital, Director, Resident Surgery Clinic at HUP and one of Philadelphia's most sought-after experts on the medical condition.

You might be interested in not only the medical background on this condition, but other factors such how it can be crippling psychologically, and society's treatment of bald women and children (and how it differs from their treatment of bald men) and the growing resources now available to this afflicted segment of the population.

You might also be interested in a segment idea that follows Annette through her day to day events as a women with hair (a wig, of course) and as a bald women, for a very up close look at the societal impact on those suffering from Alopecia. She undertook this experiment on her own and found the experience incredibly revealing.

I would like to touch base with you shortly to gauge your interest in this subject and to speak with me directly.

Thank you for your consideration.
