Your chance to see a baldy strut her stuff... @MuskehoundFinn on stage with @KatiePiper_

A few weeks ago, a website link was shared, pointing everyone in the direction of an opportunity to be on stage with Katie Piper, taking part in the first ever Diversity Catwalk, showing off the best and most gorgeous 'normal' people.

The show, which is happening at The Ideal Home Show in Olympia, London is being launched and run by Katie Piper and her charity The Katie Piper Foundation under the title "Confidence - The Secret". Hopeful applicants were encouraged to email or tweet their story and a picture to Katie in the hope of being selected to challenge current Fashion and Beauty Ideals and help change perceptions at the Live event.

Here's the biog...
"Proving how proud we should be of ourselves, Katie is giving you to the opportunity to grace the catwalk and reveal your true insecurities - these insecurities are things that aren't always the obvious insecurity that people assume, for example people would assume Katie's insecurity is her burns but actually she wishes she had longer legs!"

We're really pleased to say that one of the chosen few is none other than Brenda, a fellow baldie! Having already completed a few of the shows, you can still see Brenda and her fellow participants over Easter on Good Friday. She'll be strutting her stuff on stage at 11.30, 13.30 and 15.30 on Friday 3rd April and will be publicly representing us #BaldHeadedBeauties. Tickets to the Ideal Home Show are available here, giving you the chance to see it live...

Good luck to her and in the meantime, you can watch a little snippet of Brenda's moves here...

Good Luck Brenda and well done!

Gotta love statistics...

Since launching Pretty Bald, I've started following feeds which point me in the direction of all sorts of things hairloss, alopecia and baldness! Whilst much of it is useful and sparks ideas that get incorporated into the Pretty Bald blog, sometimes I come across a little gem which just has to be shared as a story in its own right!

One such story is a survey from People's Daily, which discusses the growing issue of baldness in men in China; apparently one in four (25%) of men in China are now going bald, but the gem of this story is the fact that...

If you combined these bald patches, they would equal 4,725 square kilometres, covering London three times over!

Don't get me wrong, I totally understand the survey looking into male hairloss in China, which is growing in correlation with increasing incomes and changing working habits. What I cannot fathom is the idea that it's someone's job to work out this bald pattern equation! Bonkers!

The only thing left to comment on this story is that if this question ever comes up in a pub quiz, you've nailed it! Other than that, it's probably a pretty useless piece of information.
