Since 1979, Lee Redmond decided to stop filing her nails. She intended to cut them off once they started twisting, but her plans changed. Now after 27 years and 33 inches the Salt Lake City resident holds the record in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest fingernails.
Redmond will be featured in this year's Guinness Book of World Records. She flies to London on Sept. 26 to promote the book. She also has been invited to appear on talk-show host Sharon Osborne's TV show while there. In October, she has offers to make television appearances in France, Italy and Spain. However, traveling is a concern for Redmond.
"They're flying me first class to give me room with my fingernails. The last time I (flew) they were 27 inches and it was a journey then," she said. "Where do you put them for 10 hours on an airplane? That'll be a job . . . (but) it'll be interesting."
Redmond's philosophy that "you are what you eat" has influenced the growth of her nails. She eats a high-protein diet, which is what hair and nails are mostly made of. She used to soak them in warm olive oil once a week, but now she no longer has time, and they don't fit in the fry pan.
