Ignoring the gender in the first line, you could do wose than this as an approach to life:
Warning
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

If all my hair fell out, I would be tempted to draw swirly patterns on my head with permanent marker.
Or write rude words.

For women it screams "cancer sufferer" and you can get good service, free stuff and skip queues. For men, probably not sadly.

As one who is similarly afflicted, i would recommend you buy hats and some factor 50 for the summer months. It's astounding how quickly it can burn, even in April
I'm going to become one of those eccentrics while I still have time.

Of course can't find a link as I can't member what they wuz called.
Buuuut, you could make a wig out of them and have your own grid toupee?
Just need to know where to exhaust the heat to. I'm sure we could knock up something.
