«Breaking News» Mom says she is called Cruella de Vil every day due to white streak in her hair caused by vitiligo

A woman who lives with a vibrant streak of white hair due to a skin disorder is compared to Disney's Cruella de Vil every day.

Yolanda Flores, 41, was 14 when she developed vitiligo, a condition that causes patches of skin to lose their pigment.

The mother of two, who lives in Bell Gardens, California, developed white patches on her face and scalp, and a bright white streak began to grow in her hair.

Appearance: Yolanda Flores, 41, was 14 when she developed vitiligo, a condition that causes patches of skin to lose their pigment and has also resulted in a white streak in her hair

Hurtful: The mother of two, who lives in Bell Gardens, California, said she gets compared to 101 Dalmatians villain Cruella de Vil 'every single day' because of her hair

The right side of Yolanda's face is also affected by the condition and the mom says she has not left the house without make-up since 1995 to avoid being stared at. 

Yolanda, who works as a waitress, said at least three customers comment on her hair daily and regularly compare her to 101 Dalmatians' Cruella or X-Men's Storm, a superhero with white hair.

Character: Cruella has black and white hair, which has prompted many people to compare Yolanda to the villain

'Everywhere I go, people tell me things like that,' Yolanda said.

'Every single day someone compares me to Cruella. Last night a man told me I look like Storm from X-Men.

'Sometimes it's embarrassing. Because I'm mostly working I'm very polite and I just smile. Half of my face is also affected.

'Ever since I came to California in 1995, I have never gone outside without make-up.

'I don't like when people start asking me questions, or asking me if I am sick or contagious. I feel like I scare little kids who look at me like I'm a monster.'

Process: Yolanda, mother to Fabian Hurtado, 13, and Emily Flores, six, said she has worked hard to build her confidence but still has her down days

Embracing it: The mother said she has grown to love herself and her unique hair, and social media has helped her on this journey to self-confidence

Yolanda said she was bullied from the age of 14 to 18 when she lived in Sinaloa, Mexico, which prompted her to wear make-up most of the time now. 

'When it comes to dating I am not confident with anybody looking at me without make-up. I am always single,' she added.

Yolanda, mother to Fabian Hurtado, 13, and Emily Flores, six, said she has worked hard to build her confidence but still has her down days. 

Support: Yolanda said her children always tell her she's beautiful, which has helped her feel more confident

'I'm a very happy woman and a very happy mom. But there is always my mark of vitiligo on my face,' she said.

'When I get home and clean my face I look at myself in the mirror and it sometimes hurts me.

'Sometimes I accept myself but I'm still working on myself every day and thinking positive.'

She added: 'My kids always tell me I'm beautiful, which has really helped my confidence. My little boy has a mental disability and he doesn't understand those kinds of things.'

Yolanda said she has grown to love herself and her unique hair, and social media has helped her on this journey to self-confidence.

'When I cover up my skin with make-up, people just think my hair is a style I chose so they don't ask me too many questions about my condition, which makes life easier for me,' she said.

'I started posting on Instagram and I connected with so many people with the condition, which has helped me a lot.

'I've even filmed make-up tutorials on my Instagram for others with vitiligo. Talking with others as really helped my confidence.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
