And I hop...I'm glad for your donations, Alison. And I hope others follow your example. The faux question related to Locks of Love had to do with the recipient wearing someone else's hair, not the hairpiece being real or synthetic. <br /><br />The whole question came up because it seems to be one of the very few examples of justifiable faux (again regardless of whether the hairpiece is real or synthetic).<br /><br />I see the potential negative effects on a child, but I guess I dream of a world where childhood baldness doesn't matter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125792591159561789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101059195328496385.post-17912263934623700492010-03-01T23:05:20.160-05:002010-03-01T23:05:20.160-05:00I would join you in your disapproval of faux, but ...I would join you in your disapproval of faux, but this post left me with the question: Is a Locks of Love hair piece really faux? Sure it is not the child's hair, but it is REAL human hair (only in special circumstances do they give out synthetic hairpieces). I agree with your dismissal of botox and other extreme beauty enhancers, but what is wrong with this beautiful and personal gift to a child? I also appreciate your self-sacrificial head shaving idea as a way of bringing acceptance. My personal conclusion is that childhood baldness can have a huge negative effect on children (just look at Lex Luther on Smallville and he didn't even have the medical issues these children face), and my hair grows to a length much longer than I need, so I will continue to give my excess hair to Locks of Love.A.
