How long does it take you?

This is for boys and girls...
I was just thinking about how long it takes for you to get ready when you're going on a night out. Like, I could have a bath/shower, do my hair and make up within say, 45 minutes. But I tend to dilly-dally and it takes me nearer 2 hours, haha. I have to fit in a bit of dancing round my room and drinking time, you see. I looooove getting tarted up for a night out.
Obviously boys aren't gonna take as long as girls...but I just wanted to be nosey.

But I really enjoy the evenings when I can take a lovely bath with the the entire Lush back catalogue at about 3pm, get out and put on a hair masque, wrap it in clingfilm, chill on the sofa with a glass of wine and some choccies for half an hour, rinse my hair, get back into bed for a nap, get up, moisturise, dry hair, paint nails, get made up, put on clothes and then focus on getting steadily pissed before it's time to go out :thumb:
I have been done in 5 minutes (*cellphone rings* "yo matt, In 5 minutes I gonna catch the bus, be sure to get it too....")
-> jump into trousers, maybe make hair, jump into shoes and run for it.
If I am showering, shaving, go through my wardrobe, style hair I usually need 25 minutes.
if my hair needs washin and i aint picked anything to wear, about 2.5 hrs
All in all 22 mins. :cool:
Probably nearer two hours if i'm going out, including shower.
i can take 20-30 minutes in the shower then 10 minutes drying my hair and i'd say 20 minutes straightening/styling. then there's make-up and getting dressed. and inbetween all that i need some drinking time.
i like taking my time so i'd say 2 hours.
i love getting ready to go out (not if i'm having a bad hair day though!).
Wooah is that like a new drug or something! Forever
In the morning I spend about 15-20 minutes getting ready.
If I'm going out, I spend about an hour getting ready (thats without a shower though - with a shower, add another 30 minutes) and thats whilst drinking and dancing around my room like a fanny.
I fuck around so much when trying to decide what i actually want to wear ! Pick out what i want disregard it then eventually go back to it and wear the bloody thing
With tea and ciggy breaks every few minutes
So that's pretty much all day!
Just as well I only go out on a Saturday!
If it's a "Yo, be at such and such a place in 5 mins" I usually take about 10 mins because I dilly dally.
I am such a woman when it comes to getting ready
If i havent done my legs for a few days for example, its going to take me significantly longer to get ready.
It also depends how im styling my hair. If im doing it wavy then it'll take about an hour or more just for my hair from washing, to drying and then styling.
Takes me half an hour just to have a shower because our shower is so crap.
I can get ready in an hour if i need to, if i have to shower. If not i can be ready in about 15 minutes. Not including choosing what to wear/getting annoyed because all my clothes are dirty because the washing machine is broken :mad:
Weekends between the shower, shave *scratches chin* i do my makeup, and hair I probably spend a good 2-3 hours doing it. However, this time does include times of me just sitting around watching tv, (maybe laying back in bed for an hour ) hesitating actually getting ready. If I did it all at once, shower/shave included I'm sure I could get it done in an hour. Half an hour if I didn't shave.
However 99% of the time I go out straight from work so i just do make up on the tube.
But I would love to have a lovely evening out going somewhere nice where i get to spend hours getting ready and then wearing lovely clothes. I also miss the getting ready with all the girls whilst drinking lots of wine which we used to do when I was younger now I only seem to get to do that on hen nights.
I do them while I watch TV - Multi-tasker!!
