"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).
Sir Charlie with a perfect part and some distinguishing gray hairs...
Can you guess whose mop of hair I used for the above photoshop job?
CV with a cool little hair flip and some caterpillar brows....
Bayside's Zack Morris and CV Slater....
And my last try at photoshop, Charlie V in "No Country for Old Men"
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.
