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

Does anyone else get those random, really long, white eyebrow hairs? Denis Healey-style? They are about four times the length of normal eyebrow hairs and just... appear.

Attractive monobrow complete with stray white hairs

Proper beard/moustache combo

Knicker tarantulas

Oh boy, I just realised that I wouldn't look that different. I don't have my hair coloured, or even cut that often, I don't wear make-up. I suppose that I'm lucky that I only have to pluck the odd hair from my eyebrows and my underarm hair has given up the ghost from so much waxing. My legs would be hairier, but that's about it...

Im laughing so much reading this thread, it is so funny - and true. I'm not particularly high maintenance but leave it all too long and i start to feel a bit grim.
I don't think i would look much different just prob older - are we talking no moisturiser and wrinkle cream - with a full on magnum pi mustache

shocked at how hairy some mner's really are .

Im "high maintenance" but only coz I choose to be.....I do fake tan and shave my bits,pits and legs so I guess they would be a bit more hairier..BUT other than being a bit paler (hey usually like that in winter anyway ) I wouldn't be any different....

My hair would prob be a darker brown instead of black...

Being dark hair and pale skin I am very very hairy - am v.jealous of all you obviously fair types who can flippantly say "I don't bother with all that stuff" - how can you not bother when the hairs on your legs grow at least half a cm a week?????

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...

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!!

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.
