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

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? Grin

I'm looking good this morning.
Huge effort, but it was worth it!

Woke up this morning and my hair is now channelling Jon Bon Jovi.

I lost about half of my hair after having my baby. The regrowth is now about an inch and sticks straight up between the long, straggly strands that needed a trim months ago. The end result is strongly reminiscent of a young Michael Bolton. (Come to think of it, my long, makeup-free face and big nose aren't entirely dissimilar to his either.)

Nup. Not little old laydeee from Chorlton and the wheelies any more.

I’m ruddy full on Aunt Irma. I no longer surrender to the communists, have an Aunt Flo, get the painters in and quite frankly don’t liken my problem to Carrie, moss. I’m well past that.

I’m just fuckin well ragey and tired and the dormant one has woken up and shown her face. So fuckin there Angry

@PapayaCoconut we could do a duet. Grin

Nonetheless, I will make an effort to be nice and look presentable for work. If I’m lucky I will look like

I look like the love child of Wurzel Gummage and Ken Dodd.
Haystacks that have been caught in a gale have more style than my hair at the moment. 😬

IntermittentParps · 14/05/2020 13:05

GeraltOfRivia, my hair's going that way too. Either that or 80s footballer mullet, but grey.

LakieLady · 14/05/2020 13:21

I too can see my mother now when I look in the mirror

Grin

I still shudder when I recall the day I thought "that woman looks like my mum" as I glimpsed a reflection in a shop window, only to realise the reflection was my own.Shock

MoonriseKingdom · 14/05/2020 13:24

Like this but more frizzy

I scraped my hair up on the top of my head the other day as I didn’t need to wash it and when I glimpsed myself in the mirror as I got out of the bath Karen Taylor from Eastenders was looking back at me Grin

Cross between 7 and 9 on the mona lisa scale!!

DS had a video hospital appointment yesterday. I took one look at my picture and stood out of camera range!!!

GreenBudgie · 14/05/2020 17:36

This was my fringe in February after my husband trimmed it. I wept when I saw my reflection. Think war weary Medieval soldier with matching grey chin hairs :-(
