The Many Toppers of Amy Ponce!

To start with, this is how bald I am now:


Eyebrows getting fainter. Eyelashes still kind of hanging in there. . .

I took the opportunity of my sister's visit to have a little photo shoot of the various hats and wigs at my disposal. I brought them all down to the kitchen table and donned one after another before standing in the same spot outside my house for the pic.

In the midst of it, Laura asked whether I liked being able to do the wig thing. You know, change one's look in 3 seconds or less.

I kind of do. Specifically, I like that looking a certain way now requires such little time and maintenance. Maybe I'll keep my head shaved all the rest of my days. . .

To start with, because you are all dying to see the Pink Look:



I did wear this wig to pick Laura up at the Denver airport. She requested it! How could I refuse?

We had made contact my cell phone by the time I was at passenger pick-up, and I was out of the car, watching her walk down the long stretch towards me. She got within 4 feet and was still looking for me when I finally revealed myself.

Which is funny. Because no one else there had pink hair.

Now, this next wig is one I had high hopes for. Looked really cute on the on-line model. But something about the hairline doesn't and won't look right on me. Alas, I will just save it for Crazy Hair Day at AWANA.



Here is one of two hats I made this week. This is the one I made big enough to go over a wig, for the very cold days. It matches my wool coat, which is handy. But I realize now I need to make both a black one and a brown one so I'll have something to match each of my furs!



This is the other hat I made this week. Small enough to fit snugly without the wig. It's warmer than my baseball cap, but still breathes nicely. . .



This is a knit cap my neighbor gave me. I feel very artistic when wearing it. And I used to wear it a lot. But now it feels especially snug. Did my head get bigger? Seriously. It's really weird.



This is a jazzy number I found at the bookstore where Laura, Mandy and I went for lunch last week. I wear it whenever I'm wearing black, red or white or a combination thereof.



And this is the hat I found at Dillard's, the shopping trip I mentioned a little while ago. It's not clear in the photo, but there is a sparkly thread throughout that gives it a little extra sass. This hat is so comfortable and it covers a lot while still being dainty.



I do have another hat, a fabulous floppy sun hat that my friend, Tracy, sent. But the photo of it didn't turn out well and I'm too lazy to get Bryan to take another one. It's the one I wear when I'm sitting outside with the kids and when I'm wearing it, I feel quite at my leisure.

And, finally, my two "daily" wigs. You've seen them both before, but the blonde one really threw you all for a loop. I think when I'm wearing lipstick and not a grey sweatshirt, the wig is done a little more justice.



And, of course, my brunette number.



There you have it! At any given moment, I look like one of these.
