She simply told me "so you're different, so what? At least they're women".

Sounds like a nice lady, your grandma. Nothing wrong with being different.
Actually, the "at least they're women" comment is not far from something I've said before. I like women. My idea of a pretty face or a beautiful body or flattering clothes is mostly conventional, although I'll always choose an interesting face over one that is perfect to the point of being forgettable. I like what a lot of other guys like in virtually every way but one - I like it when they don't have hair. All things considered, how strange is it really?
Kind of amazing that I've been into bald women longer than you've been on this earth. I guess I'm now one of the veterans. When I first started connecting with people online in the alt.sex.fetish.hair days, it was kind of eye-opening. I'd been pursuing my interest for a few years, and suddenly ran into guys who'd been collecting material since at least the 60s, and folks who had connected with each other in the Razor's Edge days of the late 70s.
I learned a lot. There were movies and fashion models and artists I'd never heard of who were well known among these people. Probably the best thing I learned was that people just like me had been doing exactly what I was doing for a long time. It was like becoming part of a movement.
There used to be a lot more of the kind of discussion we're having right here, and more of a sense of community, but that got lost somewhere along the line, when it all became about selling photo sets and videos. Hadn't really thought about how much I missed it until I got talking to you.
I still do see some of the names around, in places like YouTube. If you ever run across Captain Stanley, he's a nice guy. He was one of the people behind The Razor's Edge magazine, and a later publication, the Yankee Clipper. And Zvi, at haircut.net is somebody with a viewpoint you'd probably appreciate. He also seems to have incorporated acomophilia into a happy marriage about as successfully as anyone I've seen.
