Re: More Progression
Hey!
If you decide to get multiple wigs...check out the website for the American Cancer Society http://www.tlcdirect.org/default.asp...FYKd4AodkEUALA
The prices are unbeatable...they accept returns...I loved my wigs from there. I paid $350 for a wig at a salon, and it was beautiful...but the ones from TLC (the link above) were under $50 and looked just as nice! I can't imagine they wouldn't ship to Australia, but if they won't...you could have them shipped to me, and I'd be happy to send them on to you.  No pressure...I know Dawn posted about a great wig shop near you...just supporting that hunger for hair-do variety! When we're having fun...cancer is miserable! Always a good thing to my way of thinking! I've already decided that when I need/want another wig...I'm getting a curly dark one, and a longish blonde one. How many reddish brown heads of hair does one woman need?!!
So...as an uninformed American...just to clarify...in the photo, Alex is kicking a rugby ball? What I'd call a soccer ball is actually a football...and the team Alex will play for...when he gets a little taller...is the Hawks...also a football team? Or, am I still waaaaay off?
