Holy shit that's a good wig! I didn't even know they could get this good. I am totally floored with amazement. I think the part in the hair really sells it.
Yep, complete results! My case was aggressive, alopecia totalis at risk of universalis. My specialist said my case was probably too advanced for the usual treatments (topicals, steroid injections), but as luck would have it, the drug was approved and on the market just a few weeks before I was diagnosed. All the hair completely grew back and no side effects!
I think this is that professional makeup artist gal. She did a cute makeup stamp review for something, lashes maybe?, and just makes me happy. Anyone enjoying their life in their skin normalizing how different we all are is fun to watch. I hope she's happy and healthy.
(Not correcting you, just expanding!) Alopecia is just a fancy word for bald. I'm an old man, so I have progressive alopecia (bald spot and receding hairline). Alopecia areata is patchy baldness due to an autoimmune disorder, and alopecia totalis is the loss of all hair, typically due to areata.
Yes, welcome to how languages work and evolve over time with popular usage. "Literally" has become an autoantonym, a word with two opposing definitions, like cleave or sanction.
The word impression drives me nuts too. Oh, you’re doing an *impersonation* of someone. People used to use the word impersonation. Now everyone uses impression.
Because they are different words meaning different things. If you do an impersonation you are attempting to copy as closely as you can the original, but an impression is usually done for comedic effect as it highlights and exaggerates the quirks.
So if you are hanging out with people trying to make you laugh, then its usually an impression. If they stealing an identity, or dressed as Elvis on stage, then is impersonation.
That’s how it’s used though - it’s super common to use literally as an emphasis, and it has nothing to do with ppl actually thinking that literally means figuratively. It’s used for emphasis, and it’s not wrong, it’s a completely normal thing to happen to a word.
I know that this is how language evolves and you can't get mad at people for adapting to change, but the word "literally" was invented specifically to clearly tell people that you're not being figurative, and it's been morphed into the opposite, making its own definition completely useless.
So are you as upset with the word dust? meaning to remove dust or to add sugar, as in what you do to a cake? Is Fast, quick or not moving? As in holdfast, or move fast? If you clip your hair its removed, but if you clip a belt its attached.
What we are discussing is contranyms and they make language more interesting not useless. Speakers tend to abandon completely useless words.

She doesn’t look at all like a deep space probe.

This is Emmy Combs. She has alopecia universalis, so not a bit of hair on her body. She's been bald since she was 1.

alopecia?

I would guess not cancer. People on chemo (which is the part that makes you lose your hair) typically do not have the energy for all that.

MrGhostbuster
It's called hyperbole. It's nothing new. Ever said that you're so hungry that you could eat a horse? Same basic thing.
itdoesntmatternoneofthismatters
Unless you said "I could literally eat a horse," it's not the same thing. Words have meanings.
Cayowin
It means you are extremely hungry and have exaggerated the phasing for emphasis.
Or you are in Mongolia and your host is about to serve Chansan Makh.
Context has meaning.
1Megaton
Alas, “literally” can now mean literally or figuratively. Modern dictionaries even officially declare it as such. It drives me a little crazy, too.
CheeseGreaterGood
The word impression drives me nuts too. Oh, you’re doing an *impersonation* of someone. People used to use the word impersonation. Now everyone uses impression.

oldguyexlurker
Yeah. I object to misuse leading to acceptance. It's lazy at best.
mikeatike
I literally hate this fact. (And yes the original definition of literally.)
6thsigma
That even feels inaccurate though. This is not being used as figurative in so much as it's being used for emphasis.
