Accessories again
Attention to her accessories again. Markers of gender have shifted to markers of illness.
I have always found the use of hats vs. wigs vs. a bare head, to cover the head of a bald cancer patient a very personal choice and it disgusts me that I am often tempted to beg the questions, "why do you choose to wear a wig?" or "why cover your head with a bright colored hat that matches your outfit?". I am curious mainly because those that I do know that have had bald heads due to cancer, have very specific and unique answers as to why they choose to present themselves in this way.
