    20 minutes is tough if you need to shower and pick clothes. I can do it, but on the other hand I am not too picky with my clothing and I do not need to put on make-up.

    I'll usually start an hour before I get out to get ready, dicking around on the internet, getting showered, internet, putting on a piece of cloth every 5 minutes, etc :)

    5mins shower
    15mins for hair make up and clothes

    But me doing my hair means a ponytale and make up means eyeliner and lipgloss

    depends if you're washing your hair in the shower. if not it depends on the state of my hair, i might just be able to tousle it a bit and make it look nice. make up could be done quite quickly but i normally like to take my time when i'm getting ready.

    I used to be able to do it in 30 minutes but recently its been an hour because I've been doing my makeup differently and it takes me a while to pick an outfit. I don't like being rushed anyway :)

    I can, but 20 mins is my ABSOLUTE minimum. I tend to think I can get ready in 10 mins, especially on workday mornings, but I really, really can't.

    No problem.

    5 minutes shower
    5 mins make up
    5 for drying hair (in Winter, in Summer I'd just let it dry/put it up)
    5 minutes to stick some clothes on

    If I only had 20 minutes though I'd probably skip the shower if at all possible /stinker :p

    I always like to give myself half an hour though, that's a nice enough time to get all preened and not be running 'round like a complete tit ;)

    30 minutes for a shower
    10 minutes to dry my hair
    20-30 minutes to straighten/style my hair
    10 minutes make up
    10 minutes getting dressed and putting perfume/accessories on.

    It takes me an hour to get ready for work in the morning, let alone a night out. Usually takes me about 3/4 hours with a shower/hair included.

    Yeah, of course - plenty of time!

    The longest part of getting ready for me is drying my hair. It takes forever! My hair isn't even that long. Showering and getting dressed is really quick, and I don't wear make up so that's one less thing to worry about. But, oh! I really wish my hair would dry faster :(

    I can do it. Have a wash, brush the hair/use dry shampo if I need to, make up on/refresh, get changed. Can be done in 10 minutes (at a push) if I need to. I like a good half hour to get ready, with an hour if I need to wash my hair/have a bath at the minimum.

    I get ready for work in ten minutes flat most days. Wash/brush teeth/brush hair/clothes on/out the door. I put my make-up on when I get to work.

    yea, i could prob do it as long as i didnt need to shave. other wise its about half hour, i just leave my hair and dont really wear makeup.

    Me neither :no: Shower and make up inside 10 minutes is not a problem. But how do you really expect to dry your hair AND decide on an outfit? Blimey. I go through at least 5 different combinations before I finally decide what to wear, and 20 minutes just doesn't accommodate that kind of indecisiveness.

    I'm the same. I usually add about another 10 minutes dancing to my favourite song/posing in the mirror, too. I'm being serious.

    If I wash my hair in the shower it normally takes me:
    20 mins shower
    1hr drying and straightening hair. Very thick hair and lots of it!
    10 mins make up
    10 mins getting dressed (only if I have already chosen what to wear. If I have not chosen already it takes me ages and then I throw a strop and do not go out!)

    That is why I normally wash my hair and chose my clothes the night before work or in the afternoon before I have a night out and then have a basin wash.

    Generally takes me 35 if I'm having a shower as well. If I'm just getting straight up and out can get dressed, do hair and makeup in 10 mins.
