25 Sep Texan Woman With 18 Foot Fingernails Is Declared The New World Record Holder

I’m sure most of us have thought about doing something remarkable with our lives – even if it amounts to nothing more than a pipe dream. But with seven billion people on the planet, even some of the world’s most talented individuals never receive the true recognition that they deserve.

That’s why people are resorting to increasingly bizarre methods to obtain their elusive five minutes of fame. Forget having a romp on a reality TV show with a D-list celebrity, there’s some people who’ve spent years trying to beat some of the strangest records in the world…

I’ve seen one of these people in person, and to say that she looked ridiculous would be putting it mildly. Back in 2011, I was sitting in an Edinburgh resteraunt with a friend when I saw a woman glint in the summer sunshine – that woman was the world’s most pierced person, Elaine Davidson.

Davidson is pictured below on her wedding day, proving that she can attract more than just magnets!

Davison’s got a total of 9,600 piercings, but she’s still mobile, and whilst there’s no doubt that it will take her a lot longer to get ready than your Average Joe (and pass through airport security…), her bizarre feat hasn’t had a significantly detrimental impact on her life.

Until 2017, the record for the world’s longest nails was held by Chris ‘The Dutchess’ Walton (pictured below), who claimed that she wasn’t “totally incapacitated” by her combined 23 ft 11″ fingernails.

However, the crown has now been passed on after Walton finally decided to cut her nails…

The record for the world’s longest nails now belongs to Ayanna Williams, and it has been a long time coming as she’s spent over 23 years growing her talons which measure 18 feet and 10.9 inches.

Whilst Williams’ nails are slightly shorter than Walton’s, they’ve grown in a different – more inconvenient-  shape, and, instead of curling, they have grown straight out…
