Meet Jessica.

The one thing I'm truly not looking forward through in this whole cancer debacle is losing my hair. No woman wants to go through it, especially not me! I've always taken pride in looking good and feeling sexy and getting attention from men. But THIS is a whole new story. For the first time since I was a baby straight from the womb, I am going to be bald.

As depressing as this is, I've decided to prepare by buying a wig. I went to this fancy wig salon mentioned to me by my oncologist, called Bitz and Pieces (Check out their website here). The staff was really caring and helpful and knew all there is to know about losing your hair during chemotherapy. They gave me a consultation in a private room so I didn't feel uncomfortable.

The owner of the store, Barry, has made wigs for a bunch of celebrities (including Madonna, Mariah Carey and CHER. All Hail!). There's a whole wall of signed photographs from celebrities thanking him for their beautiful hair. So right off the bat, it's a pricey place! Thank goodness I got a prescription for my hair prothesis. And what a sexy, fabulous one it is!



Enter Jessica.

I decided to name my wig for a couple reasons. First of all, she has personality. And I am a different person when I'm wearing her. She has style, sass, and looks like vixen hair! Plus, I just like to name things. So I decided to name her Jessica. There ya go.

Getting Jessica is a huge relief. Not only do I feel comfortable knowing that I have the opportunity to look normal throughout my treatment, but I also feel HOT too! Jessica is even better than my normal hair! I feel like a diva. Plus, it's great having long, thick hair that can curl (unlike my fine, straight hair I've always had).

I haven't the slightest clue how to wash her or wear her, but I'm ready for it! Once my hair starts falling out I will begin to wear her. But until then, I kind of look forward to knowing I can still have a full head of hair (kind of) throughout my treatment.
