Lockdown Lookalike - the awful realisation......

[Ironmanrocks]

Lockdown can be tough. I am homeschooling and am finding it hard. But after my shower this morning I looked into the mirror and the realisation hit me. I looked like the Welsh King's brother in 'The Last Kingdom'! He is not a pretty man - straggly hair, a bit fat and quite wrinkly. I was really shocked to see him staring back at me!!! Who do you look like since lockdown?

I see this in the mirror.... c'mon feel the noyz....

What the heck I am just going to wear this. To Lidl. Plus the suit.

#GetTheLockdownLook

I usually look like Alvise Rigo, now it’s more 70’s pornstar

Daisy from Keeping Up Appearences. Although I'm not sure that's a lock down thing. I just am her. (Although I am happily Onslow-less)

This was me heading out to do the weekly shop yesterday. Who needs blow dries or mascara anyway? I thought to myself as I popped my collar jauntily.

According to the kids, this is who I've morphed into
Ollivander from Harry Potter.

I am laughing out loud!! Not just me then....is that actually Mick Hucknall @MayFayner?

Yes!

I need my highlights done. I am very grey. I am not ready to embrace it. It doesn't work with salt and pepper anyway.
I looked in the mirror yesterday to see my dear late Nana looking back at me

I have just bought two pairs of lovely loose cotton trousers (one Aztec print, one tie dye) and I have just realised I am one box of pink hair dye and 3 cats away from looking like mad middle aged crazy bag woman. On my way to the corner shop today, two teenagers started doing the "Baggy Trousers" dance at me and cracking up. I didn't care. The strange thing is that before lockdown, I was fairly fashion conscious. Now I am inexplicably drawn to handmade trousers with an elasticated waist. No doubt this descent into giving no fucks at all would have happened anyway; but I do think that lockdown has accelerated it by about ten years within the space of a few weeks

I look like Ken Dodd, white hair sticking up. I've just got some gel and hairgrips from ASDA to try and tame it. Normally have lovely cropped hair like Annie Lennox.

I answered a FaceTime call from my mother and for a split second thought I was accidentally filming my own face. The resemblance is uncanny.

Like a fat Cruella De Vil.

I hate my face in Facetime calls. I can never get the angle/lighting right, and end up staring at my face in horror and not concentrating.

Starting to look like a chubbier version of this.

@QuillBill - thank you so much. That was EXACTLY the same image I was trying to upload.

@MayFayner - that is exactly what I look like too! Hair, forehead, eyebags, chin - tick them all.

My hair has grown. I look like my mother. 🤦‍♀️

I thought it was just me. Every time I FaceTime my mother it is like looking in the mirror !
And she is in her eighties whilst I am mid 50s. Scary!

I don’t even look in mirror anymore as I know I just look absolutely shocking...
3 inches dark roots, flimsy hair.. exzema all over. Peeling nail polish, just noticed my legs badly shave..

On a good day, Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice

On a bad day, or after wrestling with algebra on my son's behalf, Bellatrix LeStrange...

Well I look like shit and haven’t shaved my legs or anywhere south since November but I can’t really blame CV for that.

I look like a hairy biker.

In my head I’m Claudia Winkleman. I mean- we have the exact same fringe for a start but I think I weigh at least twice what she does. So yes- half hairy biker, half Claudia Winkleman.

I am putting on weight so expect to morph into Bubbles Devere some time soon.

That.

But fat.

And grey.

And possibly not quite so green.
