Soap Dodging

I read an article in the Guardian (UK) the other about people who are not bathing every day. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/nov/02/give-up-washing-showering

I can understand how it is sometimes possible to skip a shower/bath especially in cold weather but I'd certainly like to see some of these people in the flesh and, hopefully, not smell them. And how do you go for long periods without washing your hair? What does that look like? As a matter of fact, I think I saw a non-washer today at the grocery store. Yes, he was wearing a hat but the hair was all matted and long and sticking out of his hat.

And do people take this non-bathing to an extreme? Years ago, I was in a Sears store waiting to pay. There were these two women ahead of me. They had long, thick, matted hair and yes, they did stink. Maybe they were environmentalists ahead of their time and didn't use a lot of water but they sure polluted the air.

And trust me, you wouldn't want to see me if I didn't wash and style my hair. So, I think I'll stick to regular showers.
