Funny isn't how you start on a thread and suddenly it pops up all over the place. I heard a story yesterday about a temple in India where people have their hair cut off to help them cast off their vanity. The hair used to be sold to orthodox Jewish women (who shaved their heads) in the form of wigs. At some point, it was decided that these wigs weren't kosher and the market for the hair dried up. Now the hair is made into hair extensions so that western women can pander their vanity. How ironic!
I don't mean to belabour the question of baldness but it was been a great discovery for me. I am considering going out without my head covering at some point but it is a bit cold at the moment. Emjay asked where I was getting my scarves from. If anyone is interested, try www.headcovers.com. They are great!
Now on to blogs again. Woman's Hour on BBC radio 4 is going to serialize the blog of a young woman from Baghdad who has been writing since 2003. The blog looks interesting and I've provided a link to it for you. You might also want to check it out on the bbc website. You'll be able to listen to their dramatization.

I checked out headcovers.com. What a wide and attractive range of scarves, turbans and hats. (Is a turban a hat?) Some great headware for the haired and the unhaired. I think unhaired may be the politicaly correct way to say bald. mj
