Jesús Aceves has hypertrichosis, which makes his hair grow abundantly over his face and back. Because of his condition, he’s also known as The Wolf Man. But he’s tired of this alias and wants to live a normal life.
Meet Jesús Aceves, a 55-year-old man born with a condition called hypertrichosis, which means he has abnormal hair growth over his body, especially his face. Although married with kids, Jesús isn’t fully happy with his living conditions. He says he and his family suffer discrimination. In an interview, one of his kids mentioned, “People call me names, and they even tell their kids not to be my friends.”

He worked in the circus all his life, traveling through several cities. But now, he’s tired of being seen as a freak. As a consequence of years on the road, he’s been known as The Wolf Man.
Back home and not in the circus anymore, he’s facing another challenge: finding a “normal” job. He needs to support his family since his wife works in temporary jobs.
After several failed job interviews, he agreed to try something he had always avoided: shave his face. He relied on his family barber to transform him, even creating eyebrows and lashes.
The experience was difficult since the face is an extremely sensitive body area, but both he and his wife believed that simply by shaving, he would be able to find a job.
Jesús did several interviews, and it’s confident that now he’ll find somewhere to work besides the circus. If this happens, he must shave his face every 2 days.
Although rare, some conditions aren’t impossible to have. Luckily, people find a way to overcome the difficulties a rare condition brings and strive in life. Hannah Tyre, for example, was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, meaning that her bones break very easily. But her love for makeup made her an internet influencer, reaching millions of followers. We hope that, by reaching the mainstream media, people with genetic diseases won’t suffer more discrimination.

This exciting clogging duet, performed by Madison and Morgan, was the highlight of the 2013 Clogging Champions of America – Showdown of Champions in Knoxville, Tennessee.

When the music starts, you can feel the excitement rising as Madison and Morgan whirl around quickly, beaming with joy. The pair is launched into motion by their coordinated footwork, hand-holding, and elegant spins.
The girls combine classic clogging techniques with contemporary flair throughout the routine, including stage circles, high kicks, and even an amazing high jump. Every motion in their dance is precisely timed, and it is flawlessly performed.
Madison and Morgan give the traditional dance style a modern twist by including upper body arm and hand moves that give the routine a lively, fun feel. A riveting performance that captivates audiences is created by fusing classic and modern components.
Viewers were astounded by the smooth transitions and deft footwork, and many expressed their amazement in the comments area. Some lauded clogging’s exuberance, while others got into a heated argument on how to categorize it.
Despite dissenting views, one commenter highlighted the rich cultural history of clogging and how it developed into a contemporary Irish-American dance form. Another confirmed the routine’s legitimacy by recognizing the classic steps mixed with modern components and drawing from their own expertise teaching clogging.
