Hair

[jprez98]

Ok. I got this idea from a post on one of the actor's sites, but not only are these people going to lose weight, but their hair is going to get long too. You already have a few guys with shaggy hair cuts (which look rather nice), but who's going to cut their hair? There are razors on the plane, so the men don't have to grow beards, but are all the guys (except Jack, 'cause he's is so short) going to have hair in their eyes all the time (kinda sexy, but still). I guess if the season is supposed to take place over a month or so, then they wouldn't have to worry about it too much, but if not, we're talking some long hair here. Could look cool, but it's just a thought.

[Suil Liath]

Not only that but those who are NOT natural blonds will cease to be blond!

-Kit-

[toonaspie]

Maybe someone will find scissors on the plane so no one has to worry about growing hair

I'm more worried about the lack of hygiene. You cant bath in salt water without soap and shampoo forever, someone is gonna get fleas...maybe from the dog! :eek

[OneFoolOfATook]

ROTFLMGDMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FLEAS FROM THE DOG!!!
LOFL!!!!!!!!!!!!
*whew* Haven't laughed that hard in awhile! heheheh
Wouldn't they Be Able To Find Shampoo And Toothpaste And That Kinda Stuff In The Luggage? Some People Never Leave Home Without It, Some Of Those People Could Have Been Going On Vacations Or Ya KNow....Some People Just Don't Trust Hotels And Crap....
Who Knows?
Blah

[toonaspie]

with 48 survivors, the hygiene product supply can run lower quicker than food

[OneFoolOfATook]

bah, screw The Meat Socks! It's The Stars Of The Show That Get It All!!!
BBWHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

[sing4themoment]

HAHAHAHAA, funny ideas!!! LMAO :lol :lol :lol

Ok, hygiene is a MAJOR problem...umm especially for the girls, wat will they do when its their *time of the month* AHEM. I would prolly just kill myself. Torture is worse than death right?:eek

[Beckers1]

I see them eventually movie into a cave or some other shelter, finding a spring or two for water to drink and wash in, using the resources around them and who knows how much "stuff" fell from the plane ...:)

[toonaspie]

sing4themoment's got a point
but at least...
chances of periods being portrayed on TV: 000!!!

[OneFoolOfATook]

LMAO! I Almost Chocked On My Food There
Toonaspie- Ya know, I've wondered that about how the gals on Survivor deal with that.......:|
I doubt they'll deal with toliet paper too :lol

[JacksGirlfriend]

I heard when Survivor first started that particular necessity was taken care of for the girls. I also heard that they provided several condoms... just in case. It's something they don't talk about much but I'm sure they still continue it. In this show, however, I'm afraid the women are on their own and I imagine the population will go up within 10 months or so. Let's just hope no one has a disease of some sort.

If I were part of this group, after the first week or so, I would not waste my razors on shaving. I would save the blades for emergencies until I found something else because technically they shouldn't have very many sharp items with them in this day and age. I think most of it would have been confiscated. I'm surprised Jack found what he found so quickly.

And I think, at some point in the show, they will touch upon the topic of periods, if only to show the realism of the situation.

[Rooster]

There is no shortage of sharp objects with all those plane parts laying around:rolleyes . I would think that Jorge Garcia will be looking a little thinner by next year if he doesn't get devoured by something in the jungle.:eek

[MyZackyMacky]

I don't know if they will bring it up at all, but I was thinking that a fairly simple solution would be to raid the luggage. You could use a small piece of cloth and just wash it out. I mean, women certainly survived having periods before pads and tampons.

I wonder if they WILL bring it up? I kinda hope they do so we can see if our theories are right :)

[OneFoolOfATook]

LMAO
I can just see woman going into the jungle and looking through the leaves "O_o....not that one it's posin ivy"
"TOO LATE :eek "
LMAO ><
Guess we're gonna start havin to watch fer red spots.....
Oh god...this topic got so far out of hand ><

[JacksGirlfriend]

Frankly with the kinds of things that might be on that island, leaving a trail is not a good idea.
JacksGirlfriend

[OneFoolOfATook]

LOL
Guess that time wouldn't be a good time to go swiming or bathing in the ocean....what with the possibility of sharks and all.......

- - -

[MyZackyMacky]

OMG, a trail ewwwwwwww :rollin

[maxpublic]

Even today there are women who use cloth pads and wash them out, without any hygiene problems. I know, I'm married to one of them. :-)

The lack of tampons won't affect the women at all.

Max

[jprez98]

This is SOOOO not where I was planning for his thread to go. But oh well! I had thought of that subject, too, and I was wondering when it would come up.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Sorry - it would definitely affect me - I'm waaaaay too lazy to deal with something like that. I like convenience. I'd be "hallucinating" a drugstore.
JacksGirlfriend

[OneFoolOfATook]

I'd be "hallucinating" a drugstore
You Made Me Laugh So Hard I Snorted!!
I Don't Think Anyone Thought We'd Be Oddball Enough To Bring This Subject Up.
And I Personaly Ain't Goin Any Further With It >.>

- - -

[JacksGirlfriend]

I agree - let's change the subject. But I do think they'll address it one way or another as in "I need some help... what am I supposed to do...?" My guess is it will be Shannon because for all her attitude she's just a kid.

But let's change the subject. Any other personal issues we should discuss?
JacksGirlfriend

[toonaspie]

oh...Lordy

once again I start something that has brought chaos among the message boards!!!

[MsAllegro]

My guess: They're going to find some sort of bunker where the previous occupants of the island were, with a huge warehouse of supplies.

[maxpublic]

Yeah...where are they going to get those little scissors that men use to cut their nose hairs? And are the women going to waste perfectly good razors shaving their legs or armpits?

Max

[IamTheMonster]

I was thinking it was going to be difficult for that girl to raise her kid for the first few months, but then I realized the kid and the mother will probably be better off. She can breast feed him for quite some time (I went to prenatal class with my ex-gf when she got pregnant and the teacher said some women breast feed until the kid is like 5), she has lots of people to help her out and let her rest, and the baby won't have to wear diapers which cause rashes and stuff. On the other hand though she won't have any baby tylenol or any medicine for the baby.

[sing4themoment]

Omg haha, the last topic was totally my fault :rolleyes

Anyways, poor baby...babies need vacsinations [spelt it wrong] and all that so GL to him/her!

Nd, having a baby on an island without medical care sux...i mean Jack can help and all but still...u kno?

[Abby Road]

Babies don't necessarily need vaccinations and being born on the island would mean it's not exposed to the dangers presented by "civilization". Also, think about all the babies born to cultures that aren't near vaccination clinics. The baby could be the luckiest of all.

[Barbara1969]

Claire's worst predicament is not having anesthesia while giving birth. Ouch. :(

I am going to assume that the luggage in the crash site will be raided and appropriate hygienic supplies will be found. They've already borrowed clothes.

However, generally, women tend to 'cycle' together if they're in a group. Imagine the episode where Kate, Claire, Shannon, and Rose all have PMS and chase Jack, Charlie, Boone, Sawyer, Sayid, and Locke into the jungle. :b :lol

[JacksGirlfriend]

Okay - who's Rose? How did I miss a name?
JacksGirl

[toonaspie]

Okay - who's Rose? How did I miss a name?

Rose was the black lady that Jack was talking to before the plane crashed and the same one that he had to give "corrective CPR" to.

She said that her husband was in the bathroom so we are to assume that he died in the crash...or did he (curse that episode 3 preview!)

Anyway, maybe Sun will break off from Jin and be the ringleader of the PMS women. LOL!!!

[OneFoolOfATook]

ROTFLMGDMFAO - Barbra
Rose Is the Older Woman In The First Ep That Boone Was Trying To Give CPR To....Errr...And Jack Did Instead, She Was Also The Woman Jack Was Talking To Right 'fore The Plane Crashed >.>
...I Think Thats Her?
And Man, I Think Those Dudes Would Be Better Off Against The Monster As Opposed To A Bunch Of Women PMSing LMAO

- - -

[Vicki]

lol...... anyway i never thought about the hair thing...but i'm s ure there's supplies from everyone's luggage and carry-ons that will take care of the technical stuff.

[sing4themoment]

HAHAHAH LMAO!!! omg and imagine the guyz dealin wit ladies in pain cuz of cramps...ugh i hate cramps. But guyzz...i thought we left "that" topic :rollin

I think they'll do good wit the hygiene thing...hopefully, and if they dunt, they wont show them lik having flees in their hair...cuz dats jus too gross haha:rollin

[azteclady]

I confess - I really don't have much to contribute to this particular thread, but...

I just couldn't resist! It's hilarious!


Beto

[Woodnymph12]

Haha! This whole thread is great! My guess is it will be Shannon Yeah, I think she's probably the most high-maintenance person on the island, so it would be great if she had the first crisis of this sort. I was wondering if they'll continue to do those camera shots that pan slowly up her legs each episode after she hasn't been shaving for a while...

[Sleeestack]

who's going to cut their hair?

Dude, that is the LEAST of their worries. Where on god's green earth is Boone gonna get his "back, sack, and crack" wax?:x

Man, I can't believe all you women and where your minds go! There are many sea sponges which decorate the tropical ocean floor, and NEVER underestimate the absorbancy of sea kelp.

Summer's Eve, eat your heart out. Tampax--we don't need no freaken wings and plastic applicators.

Max........too much information.;)

[cccourt]

who knew?? This was the funniest thread on the entire forum. Just catching it.

Now everyone: get a grip and get back to the topic:

The only one you will notice with more hair is Jack...well...maybe Jin.

Locke doesn't have any...and the rest have enough hair that about 40 days of growth won't be noticed.

Remember: The season takes place in 40 days. We won't have to worry about any major changes except for Claire.

[Lizard]

Just for completeness' sake, you all caught Sun brushing her teeth with that plant and showing Walt how to do it? I think the writers wanted to show us that the survivors are dealing with this problem, and Jin (finding food, I believed he speared that fish for Charlie, too) and Sun (seems to possess some knowledge about plants) might be particularly adept at doing that.

[LostinTrinity]

Funny, I never thought that Jin might have caught that fish. It did seem odd that Charlie did it all of a sudden after seeing his fishing technique. LOL

[PlaneJane22]

Maybe the magic regenerative properties of the island will help with the hair issue. Keep Shannon's roots blonde.

In fact if it's REALLY magical it'll be able to determine who to keep completely clean shaven (pretty Boone) and who should be adorably scruffy (Jack and Sawyer).

[JacksGirlfriend]

I like the adorably scruffy types myself.

JacksGirl

[kat]

As for the baby stuff... I'm a totally crunchy hippy type myself. :) I did the whole natural childbirth thing, not vaccinating, mostly natural health remedies, etc. So unless there are some serious childbirth complications (which are really very rare) Claire and the baby will have no problems.

As for the hygiene stuff - I think Sun will be instrumental in that. She seems to know plants, like the toothpaste thing.

[Apriltaurus]

didn't we see Locke shaving with one of his arsenal of knives?

I think the hair and hygiene is pretty much a non-issue, ask anyone who does any "real" camping.

[JacksGirlfriend]

It is a non-issue, but hey it's a fun topic.

JacksGirl

[cccourt]

Glad to see this at the top again..it is toooooooooo funny.
ccc:hat

[jncar]

I haven't seen this thread before, and it is hilarious!

I was just talking to my sister the other day, and I suggested that "Lost" should have a makeover subplot for one of the episodes. Picture this: people start to complain about the way they look, and one of the background characters steps forward and reveals that she is a hairstylist, and packed an assortment of scissors and razors and styling products. The survivors rejoice, and one by one start getting makeovers. I think it could be a fun character bonding thing like the golf, plus it would be a good set-up for future seasons. If one of the characters suddenly showed up with a new hair cut or a freshly shaved face, the audience would just assume that hair-stylist lady had been at it again. I think it would be a fun way to explain how all those attractive actors stay so pretty, without destroying the show's believability.

On another note--I don't worry about Claire and the baby healthwise, but post-delivery hygiene is a nightmare (all you fellow moms out there know what I'm talking about!) First there is the weeks of bleeding--there is no way they salvaged enough feminine supplies for that. Then there is the nursing. I would never have gone in public during the first two months of nursing if I didn't have nursing pads--there would have been milk stains on my shirt constantly. Although folded up socks can be an adequate substitute if nothing else can be found. Us women just got the short end of the stick when it comes to personal hygiene in the wilderness. Will they deal with any of this on the show? Probably not. Would it be a nightmarish problem in real life? Absolutely.

[sing4themoment]

imagine if they cant shave themselves!! lik they'll all be hairy beasts and maybe even scare the creature!:rollin :rollin

[Apriltaurus]

It is a non-issue, but hey it's a fun topic.

oh I agree, I've been reading whole thing!
