We took a recess from the recession at Hair Theater's SUMMA CUM HAIRE, cabaret, hairy-aoke, sing-along, comedy, therapy night at the Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe.


Need an uplift from the winter blah's?  Depressed by the economic depression? Constructing a dart board with Bernie Madoff's picture on it (and you didn't even invest any money with him)? Then Summa Cum Haire was the place to be last Thursday.


Who doesn't want to pretend ice skate to MOON RIVER? Sing alongs heal the soul and we did a lot of those and we answered the musical zen question...WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT ALFIE?

The on land synchronized swimmers from Nationwide Children's hospital amazed the crowd. It was high kick time with our own brand of Rockette thrills demonstrated by the staffers from the Columbus Foundation. The Chippenhair Male Dancers from the audience earned $282 for the Hair Theater Wig Fund.

We even had visits from the fabulous HAIRNETTES, our Annette Funicello, our Capt. Sully, and the whole thing was tidily laced with the musical stylings of Swingin Dave Bott.

And all of us went away with new language skills  and a better understanding of the German word of advice for coming to term with the past.....

These are the levels of donation-giving in support of LOVE IS IN THE HAIR's wig fund work.

Tina M. sent us a letter of thanks for her wig, provided by our wig fund.  Our liaison wig shops give each wig recipient a small Hair Theater tag explaining the fund and telling the recipient that they are our 'star today'.  Tina wrote in part, "When I read the part that said, 'You are our star today,' it made me feel special and gave me hope.  I cannot express the way I feel about this wonderful gesture of kindness from people I do not know and will probably never meet."

To date, 462 Central Ohio women and girls have received wigs and hats through our fund housed at the Columbus Foundation. (Wigs are around$350 each).  The wonderful stylists at Over My Head, Hope's Boutique, and Jan's Place carefully assist our Star Recipients through this tender process.

You can help too! Donations are always accepted (www.columbusfoundation.org). But right now you have a special opportunity to make a HUGE impact!  We are accepting donations at a variety of levels ($500-$10,000) for our upcoming fundraiser, LOVE IS IN THE HAIR, Nov. 7, 8, and 9 in conjunction with Columbus Dance Theatre(www.coldancetheatre.org).  Surprise of surprises, this year's show will be a hairy-aoke, love-in, sing-along, happening, BALLET!

HAIR IN THE NEWS

- Amy Winehouse has big hair and some big problems. Sadly at a recent concert an audience member threw something at her bouffant hairdo. Being Amy, she went into the audience to bop the perpetrator. Also being Amy, her aim was not true and she hit the wrong person.  La Patrice continues to hold out hope for this, our highest of high hair stars.

_ The height of polygamist wives' hair denotes their status in the cult.

- Cameron Diaz and Jeff Bridges have both shaved their heads for their respective movies

- In Jackson, Mich, (acc to Sports Illustrated) Emmarie Truman (sophomore at Jackson High) pitched a one hitter with 5 strikeouts and a win—She did this 3 months after brain tumor surgery and chemo. She also did it bald.

ANGELS AMONG US

LISA PAQUETTE'S GRANDMOTHER

Lisa Paquette is a trainer and yoga teacher.  She recently told us that her grandmother was on a bowling team called the "Hair Pins."  Lisa said the bowlers had shirts they proudly sported with Hair Pins emblazoned across the back.

LUCY'S FINAL HAIR THOUGHTS

La Patrice attended a humor conference in Upstate New York this summer. The keynote speaker was the very entertaining and inspiring Lucie Arnaz.  Lucie gave a talk about the importance of laughter for our general well being.  She also did a session called, "Ask Lucie" where you could ask her anything about her famous parents, Lucy and Desi Arnaz.

Lucie told the story of her mother's final days. Lucy had an aneurysm and Lucie was called to the hospital. Lucille Ball was in an oxygen tent but mumbling and obviously very weak. Her daughter got very close and asked the nurse permission to lift the mask a moment to hear what her mother was saying.

Lucie lifted the mask and Lucille Ball said with great sadness, "I was supposed to have my hair colored today!"

Lucy died that night.

THE HAIRDO MONOLOGUES

Hair Theater comes in a variety of episodes. La Patrice has always wanted to orchestrate, "The Hairdo Monologues." When she read about The Groove Group in Columbus Dipatch's Joe Blundo's column she knew she had found the group who could commit.

The Groove Group (Girls Realizing Outrageous Opportunities with Variety for Everyone) is the brainchild of group leader, Sheri Widder. These wonderful women are hell bent on having adventures and a good time.

They also earn merit badges for their activities. The Groovettes committed to 5  two hour workshops and to the work of the additional work of producing The Hairdo Monologues. They wrote their own hair stories to be included. La Patrice received funding from IQ*ity (an educational software system) for her work in writing, directing, and performing  the show with the Groove Group. For more information: www.thegroovegeneration.com

The Hairdo Monologues:

Thursday, Sept. 18- 6:30 (dinner available for purchase) 7:30 (show- $10)

Place: The Movie Tavern, 3773 Ridge Mill Drive, Hilliard, OH. 43026

A portion of the proceeds benefit the Hair Theater Wig Fund at the Columbus Foundation.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service to others."

Have a great HERE day!

A production squad of stars is starting work on the show this June.  Donations to the fund at The Columbus Foundation at a variety of levels may be made (patwynnbrown@yahoo.com-- for info). 

PEOPLE WHO ARE GUARANTEED A GREAT HERE DAY!

Some good folks don't wait for the annual fundraiser in November to help the wig fund.  Our needs are increasing and reflect the economy. We have helped over 450 women through every hospital in Columbus, via three fabulous wig shops.  Recent donors include:

The Davis Foundation- Thank you Jackie and Bill!!! [They are wonderful supporters of the fund.]

The "Chippenhair Male Dancers" at the Ohio Court Reporters Conference.  We appreciate Tracy Schiefferle's assist with this.

Angie Staten's special group of girls at Dominion Middle School, who held a hat day to help the fund. Each of the girls' in the group has a loved one who has experienced cancer.

The Hair Theater Cheer Chicks and the Erma Bombeck Humor Conference- The Cheer Chicks were the opening act for Garrison Keillor at the conference and wowed the crowd. Mr. Keillor's review: "You were good (pause, rub chin)…I'm not sure what it was you were doing (another thought filled pause and direct look with hairy eyebrows), but I liked it."  …We'll take it.

HAIR HISTORY LESSON FOR THE DAY (FROM Hair-A-Baloo: The comedy and tragedy on top of your head)

"Rosy and Maria Carita offer beauty treatments to such notables as Brigitte Bardot and Madonna. They are quoted in VANITY FAIR as saying, "There are no ugly women."  The key to loveliness, according to the Caritas, is this: Just tap into each client's individuality, and turn the key."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR/ REAL SIMPLE/ May 2008

"When I was eight, my mother decided to give me a home permanent. My hair was all rolled up when the news came on television that President Kennedy had been assassinated. My mother was so swept up in the coverage that she completely forgot about my hair until my father came home that night and asked, 'Why is Kim in curlers?'." All the hair on my head broke off at the roots except for one hardy patch down the middle--- making me the first person in town with a Mohawk.  ---Kim Wiley, Charlotte, N.C.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY:

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
