I saw a very disturbing sight whilst coming home this afternoon.
Were I not already "off" the hobby, this would've certainly made me think twice about it.
THis poor woman was hooking on the corner. She was, of course, smiling at eveyone...but her hand oft strayed to her head. When she turned, twas evident why... she was going bald back there. (when I say this, I mean a large area was ripped out in clumps...while the rest of her head was covered in thick hair.)
Given her general appearence (decent clothes, but the face seemed a bit...well...you know.) I would guess that it was not a natural act...rather it is most likely that she has a condition (derived from whatever...) where she constantly pulls her own hair out.
It was a revolting sight...and also one that made me quite sad to see. One cannot help but feel sorry for her.
At least, I could not help but feel sorry for her.
Something to ponder, indeed.
