Actually, we more or less sorted that out once we figured out what the problem was. I think the main reason she hasn't done it since is the inconvenience. She has a job where she deals with a lot of fairly conservative people, so it means we can only do it on vacation, and it takes a good two or three weeks to get her grown back to the point where people aren't going to stare. Most coverups are not really practical, and to be fair, she did feel self-conscious about it. Speaking from experience, it takes a few weeks of shaving your head for a man to start feeling really comfortable with it. She would probably take longer, and that's not going to happen.
She has occasionally worn a buzz cut at times, and actually prefers the low maintenance of it. Not sure when that might happen again.

Persis isn't as recognized as she once was, and that's a shame. In the 1980s and early 1990s, Persis was like the patron saint of acomophilia. She was a sexy bald woman who figured prominently in a major motion picture that came out at the dawn of home video. Since then, videos, both PG and porno, of female head shaving have become widely available online, and lots of celebrities have gone bald at one time or another. Plus, all the material, the photos, articles, etc., that people have gleaned from here and there over the years have spread across the web, sitting in photo galleries. When I was a teenager, there was Persis.
I suppose being dead since 1998 (her career died at least ten years earlier) doesn't help her much as a sex symbol, but it didn't really do Marylin Monroe any harm in that respect. Just froze Marylin in time, really. It could be argued Persis was already frozen in time in 1979, because that's still the way people remember her. Most of her obituaries ran with a 20-year-old bald headshot.
