TD, did you get a job in Great Adventure commercials after that perf.?

I had to play bald in college. I wish to GOD I would have shaved my head. All I can remember now about that show was the ordeal of soaping, then bald capping, trying ANYTHING that wouldn't look goofy.

No, it wasn't until AFTER I learned prosthetics.

There's some in my avatar, now!

I got cast as the baker in THE BAKER'S WIFE in college. I was so happy to have gotten the part, I agreed immediately to shaving the crown of my head, whilst keeping the sides and a full beard. The upside? I never got carded in my college town that semester. Oh...and I got my first blowjob.

yeah...those baldie chasers...they're starting to come after me now! I guess I need Couvre.

Robbie, I heard an interview with Chip Zien. Same thing.

I had a tiny part in a show in college and a student who was going for his degree in make-up design used my poor face as his project. I had spirit gum in my ears and nose for MONTHS. I was the most horrific experience, especially since it was such a small part. And I did not get the same favors, Robbie.

Okay- you guys are all cracking me up! I especially love the Annie typecasting joke! I just started going over the script with him and OMG- this is a VERY difficult script to memorize. It's like doing tongue twisters! I got him a digital recorder today so he could keep hearing the dialog over and over again. I just don't have the time to spend about an hour and a half every night going over the script. I'm getting so stressed! I will definitely post pictures when it's all said and done. My kids aren't perfect, but they're great kids! Thanks to all for the well wishes! Oh- and Diva- very brave of you to post your "baldy" picture! mom

For all you hairless boys~

I don't like men who exaggerate
about the places they've been
about the money they've made.
I like a man who's honest and true
You can look him in the eye
When he's talking to you.

I like men who accept who they are
Not everyone can look like a movie star.
If you can follow this thought to it's logical end
You can see why I like bald-headed men.

. . . ooh, I like bald-headed men.

Everyone knows that it's testosterone
that turns bushy-haired men into a chrome dome.
But testosterone is what makes a man a man
The more that he's got the more that he can
Do the things that make the women go "Oy!"
I'll take the bald-headed man over a big-haired boy.

Big-haired boys make very good friends
But they cannot compare to bald-headed men.

I've said it before
I'll say it again
I like bald-headed men.

So why did you waste your money
Joining that hair club for guys?
Oh, why would you cover your manly badge of honor
With such a bad disguise?

Oh, why would you throw away money on
Rogaine and Minoxidil?
When all they can guarantee are years and years
Of pharmacy bills.

. . . please don't do it!

I believe the hair replacement industry for men
Is like the cosmetic industry for women.
A giant black hole that will suck your money away
For the rest of your life.

. . . please don't do it!

No matter how you fight it, time marches on.
Some new things appear, some old things are gone.
Let it move - - it's a natural thing
Like a leaf on a tree or a bird on a wing.

Try looking in your mirror from a whole different place.
You're not losing hair, you're gaining face.
Be confident! Be cool! It won't be long when
You are bound to be one of the bald-headed men.

Said it before
I'll say it again
I love bald-headed men.

Johnny Malkovich - Love him
That guy on Star Trek: The Next Generation - Love him
Michael Jordan – Lover
Tom Paxton - Love him
Alan Brady - Love him
Burt Reynolds - Love him
Yul Brynner - Loved him
Telly Savalas - Who loves ya, baby?

Great post Miss Pennywise! Thanks for taking so much time. By the way, I found the interview they did of my daughter on New York One News on her Macy's performance. I googled New York One and then hit Manhattan. In the search, I put in Camp Broadway. 2 articles pop up. She is on the article that talks about putting finishing touches on the parade. When she is being interviewed, she talks about how she watched the parade last year and thought it would be cool to do. She has long, brown curly hair. Let me know what you think! mom

She's adorable, Mom! She reminds me of Shelley Duvall.

[supportivemom]

Posted: 11/29/07 at 10:59pm

Of course, I think she is much prettier than Shelley Duvall! Glad you got to see the video. I couldn't pull it up on any of my computers. Finally saw it tonight at her voice teacher's house. She did a great job in the interview if I do say so myself! mom

Here you are, lazy thing.

mom, she has beautiful hair. Are you going to let her shave it when they do WIT at her junior high?

Forget the hair, Sue. What about the graphic nude scene?

[SueleenGay]

Posted: 11/30/07 at 7:13am

Oh, I don't think THAT is necessary. I mean not all cancer patients lose their clothes, but they all lose their hair.
I just would not be believable if she did not shave her head.

[supportivemom]

Posted: 11/30/07 at 7:56am

Thanks for posting the link. I would have but I didn't know how. I would never let a school teacher make my daughter shave her head for a part! I know you were being sarcastic here but the thought of it makes me shiver. She does have beautiful hair and it's natural. It's different for a boy. Don't throw darts at me- it's just my opinion! mom

[SueleenGay]

Posted: 11/30/07 at 8:00am

What if she wanted to?

[StageManager2]

Posted: 11/30/07 at 8:01am

Yeah, what if she were to cut it in baby steps so YOU can get used to the shortness.

[supportivemom]

Posted: 11/30/07 at 8:14am

Perhaps I could get used to it if SHE wanted to. I AM a supportive mom! However, knowing her, I don't think she would! She is only 13! If either of you are parents you would know what I mean! Thanks, mom

I like this look. It's very age appropriate.
