Yani Williams from Texas, who has been growing her nails for more than 20 years reveals that people often ask her how she wipes her butt. Here's what she has to say
We really don't know how this woman gets any work done, but Yani Williams from Texas, who has been growing her nails for more than 20 years hopes they will one day be the world's longest.
Williams, a retired salon owner from Houston, began growing her fingernails when Bill Clinton took the office of president 23 years ago, ABC 11 news channel reported. She was initially inspired to grow her nails by her friends, but also said she wanted to send a message to her grandchildren that being different is okay. "It's for my grandchildren more than anything," she told Khou.com. "So they can have something to look back on and say this is my gammy."
Each of Williams nails is between 26 and 26.5 inches long. "It takes me about a week to finish (polishing) them," said Williams, adding that people often ask her how she wipes her butt. "Usually I just tell them like if you go to the restroom in public you don't sit on the toilets. That's the way I do at home because my nails are so long."
But, she still has a while to go before clinching any record, as the current female nail length record-holder Lee Redmond grew her nails out to 24 ft, 7.8 inches.
