Ah, yes, now this is the sort of reassurance I was after. Thank-you, all of you.

BA -- yes, I've seen those pictures before, and they're extraordinary. I do wonder if photographs, even good photographs, given the right lighting, can be made to be extra invisible, whereas certain natural lighting (especially twilight) can reveal everything. But the more I hear about this, the more unlikely it seems that people will see the lace. Especially if I opt for a not completely brushed back style -- something with piecy-ness that hash air flying in every direction.

One last question, without starting a new thread -- lace pieces, especially the all lace ones -- you guys pretty much don't notice you're wearing them after a while? The thinskin I had before was pretty obvious to me -- especially when I showered. But I hear lace sort of becomes a part of you.

And lace, I hear too, can hold up pretty just as well in active situations (sports, swimming, and on-stage musician antics?)

Thanks, this forum is amazing.
