Beyond Aesthetics

When was the last time you felt you needed a disguise? I have to ponder this for a moment...I suppose for me it is the year I spent battling breast cancer and lost all of my hair. It was definitely a challenge to figure out the best way to disguise my poor bald head! Beyond aesthetics, it's a lot colder without hair to warm your scalp. I did have a wig available, but decided it didn't work for me. It was just too fake. Not my own hair, not my style either. So I chose simple cotton bandanas to wear around the house and found some very cool hats to keep me feeling normal as I walked Michigan Avenue during my locks-free year. By the way, my cancer was discovered during a routine mammogram - make sure you keep your appointment!

Book Excerpt

Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre

Too late, she recognizes Officer Logan. He raises his hand, pointing straight at her. “That’s her. Maxzyne is over there!”

Her heart pounds. As if on cue, she feels the tightness in her chest again. Quick. Exit stage left. She ducks behind a big man in a polar bear suit selling felt Santa hats. That’s what I need. A disguise. She grabs one of the hats, stuffing her telltale braids inside.
