Why is your head so bald? The Charlie Villanueva Hairless Wonder Contest

"Why is your head so bald?"

That's the question Francis (Owen Wilson) asks his assistant, Brendan in the above clip from the 
movie Darjeeling Limited.  Brendan's response?  "Because I have alopecia."

Awkward...

The topic of alopecia is not awkward with newly acquired Piston, Charlie Villanueva.  He has alopecia areata, a medical condition that involves the rapid loss of all your hair, eyebrows, and eye lashes.  He was first diagnosed when he was 10-years old and has ever since grown comfortable with the disease to the point where he is now an instrumental role model for others with alopecia. 

A few days ago, Charlie V announced a contest asking people to submit photoshopped images to show what he would look like with a full mop of hair.  By doing the contest, he wishes to show "others with/without alopecia that being different is a beautiful thing, it shouldn't damage your confidence."  He has tabbed the contest as the "Hairless Wonder Contest: What Would Charlie Villanueva look like with hair?"

I'm a big time n00b at photoshop, but I did make a valid effort.  If you're interested in checking out some of my submissions, I've posted them after the jump.  I encourage all of you to play along, support Villanueva's good cause, and, perhaps, get yourself some extra loot along the way (if you're good at photoshop).

If you are submitting any of yours to CV31 on Twitter, then please feel free to submit them here in the comments as well.  I don't know if there is any way you can beat the one someone else already submitted, though.

The first one almost looks like Stephon Marbury

Good job on these, I know next to nothing about photoshop and I don’t even have the program so looks like I’m sitting this one out.

Thanks man. They ain’t bad. The one I linked to by @VulcanoBoy was the winner — CV31 announced it this morning on ESPN’s First Take.
