I mean, all maintenance regimes put on hold.

I would....

Be growing a hair suit

have pubes like last years hanging baskets

Have grey and brown shiny roots with orangey dead frizzy ends

Be as pale as a baby mole, and flaky to boot

Doesn't bear thinking about

I'd have a monobrow,alot more grey hair which would be long and unkempt.

Ledodgy · 29/08/2008 09:02

*and

BecauseImWorthIt · 29/08/2008 09:03

And I'd be a year older.

Ledodgy · 29/08/2008 09:03

Lol you'd always be a year older fallow or not.

BecauseImWorthIt · 29/08/2008 09:04

Yes, but older and fallow ...

maidamess · 29/08/2008 09:05

Oh yeah I forgot about the brows. Mine would be albino pale and growing down over my lids.

Are we not allowed to do anything to our nails either? If so our toenails would be like claws and our hand nails would be like Flo Jo's but unpainted!

Ledodgy · 29/08/2008 09:08

*finger nails!

FlightAttendent · 29/08/2008 09:12

Nothing would change

My hair isn't dyed and I rarely wear make up, rarely bother to shave legs (not too hairy) and haven't had a haircut for a year anyway, I keep it tied up.

I think once you start the 'maintenance' thing off, it can be very hard to stop it.

That is what I tell myself...

The only things I really do are wash/brush my hair, occasional deep face cleaning and cutting my toenails when necessary...

Oh and tummy exercises! That would prob make a difference. They have been working a bit!

Vulgar · 29/08/2008 09:14

I'd have frizzy curly hair with more grey.

a few long hairs coming out of chin and moustache.

Protruding nasal hairs

Hairy bikini line and big toes.

Pale eyelashes and eyebrows.

Foul skin

Shins like a crocodiles

Heels like elephant's feet.

lol at: have pubes like last years hanging baskets

sockmonkey · 29/08/2008 09:23

I would have a 'tashe, probably a beard, and legs like a gorilla.

TheProvincialLady · 29/08/2008 09:26

I wouldn't last a whole year as my nose hairs would have blocked my nasal passages and access to my mouth, so I would die of starvation and lack of oxygen.

LynetteScavo · 29/08/2008 09:33

I worry what I woudl look like if I were in a coma for a year, then woke up!

On a similar subject, my best mate phoned me up once to say (in a very serious voice) "I've been thinking about this a lot. If ever I go into a persistent vegetative state, I want you to promise me..." and I assumed she was going to say "...you will look after my children" (one of them is my godchild) but she actually said "...you will come in frequently and bleach my moustache without my husband finding out about it"

LOL.

hecate · 29/08/2008 10:16

my face

CatIsSleepy · 29/08/2008 10:29

Pinkjenny · 29/08/2008 10:31

I'd have a tache, monobrow and very hairy pits and legs. Probably dreadlocks by the end of a year. And I'd sit round and just eat.

Lauriefairycake · 29/08/2008 10:31

I have 5 hairs around my nipple

if I let them grow it would be hilarious, one would poke out my cleavage.........

MamaFormerlyKnownAsGlam · 29/08/2008 10:32

A year? this would be me after a week

Majeika · 29/08/2008 10:33

I remember when my Gran was in a coma and she got hairier by the day and it was on day 4 that we realised she used to shave her face every day! She had a full beard by the time she died!

If it wasnt so sad I would be ROFL!!!

I would have a few grey hairs, a full hair body suit (not really but it feels like it!), roseacea shining out like a beacon, flaky skin.....god, Im ugly!!

Majeika · 29/08/2008 11:07

LOL!! Dont be daft - I was laughing as was Mum when we went to see her!! (which wasnt funny but you know how awful things can be funny!!))

and it is my nightmare that I could be in a coma etc etc and all my hair would just grow and grow...............

LOL

FlightAttendent · 29/08/2008 13:10

Oh gosh that is so sad and sweet and funny!

I did have to do a double take before I realised you didn't write' it was the fourth day before we realised she was a man'

Sorry!

I am sure I will have to shave my own face when I get old. It will all come and bite me on the bum, as it were...
