Hair-a-baloo

Melanoma survivor Pat Wynn Brown wrote a book about America's obsession with hair. I think it's based on a comedy show she does to cheer up cancer patients called Hair Theater.

Below is an excerpt from book review on Bella Online:
In 1997, author Pat Wynn Brown was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. She admits that losing her hair was first on her mind as she dealt with this possibly fatal disease. Now, 7 years later and cancer free, Ms Brown helps other cancer patients by performing an original, comedy show about hair. Hair Theatre takes a loving look at women’s obsession with their hair. If the show is anything like her book “Hair-a-baloo,” the cancer patients are leaving the building as healthier people. After all, laughter is great medicine.


Book is available from Amazon.com.
