“Empowering from Within”
by Gabby Shacknai
Dec. 22, 2022
Erin Hazelton was 37 years old when she discovered she had stage-two, invasive breast cancer. The diagnosis came as a total shock, and she knew she would be in for the fight of her life. What the writer did not expect was to lose everything she thought made her beautiful. “Like many women, I thought my beauty was defined by my long hair, my thick eyelashes and brows, my healthy skin, and my unmarred body,” she recalls. A love of makeup and luxury skincare fueled Hazelton’s interest in all the latest product launches and innovations, and for 20 years whenever she visited Paris she never missed a haircut appointment with celebrated stylist David Mallett. She tried her hand at laser treatments and peels at her dermatologist’s office, and she didn’t hesitate to spend big on Triple Crown Facials with Joanna Vargas. With her diagnosis, however, her once-cherished beauty practices were called into question. “I was devastated to learn my cancer treatment would rob me of all those things.”

“Why ‘Joy Dressing’ Is Summer’s Biggest Fashion Trend”

A YEAR AGO, an awe-struck child accosted me on Sixth Avenue as I was heading to the supermarket. “Are you Lady Gaga?” she shouted from a safe, 6-foot distance. Much to her and my chagrin, I’m not, but her question had validity. I was, after all, sporting 5-inch heels, fishnets and a new shocking-pink satin shorts suit—one of my more curious purchases given that I’m a color-averse New Yorker. As I shook my head no, her father chortled. She grinned and grabbed his hand. I welled up behind my Saturn-size sunglasses. This overdressed grocery run was my first outing after recovering from Covid. I felt lucky, relieved, giddy and, apparently, I looked Lady Gaga-level fabulous.
