Chris Walton from Las Vegas, USA, has been
revealed as the new record holder for the Longest Fingernails, measuring an
astonishing 10ft 2in (309.8cm) on her left hand and 9ft 7in (292.1cm) on her
right hand -- a total of 19ft 9in (601.9cm).
The 45 year-old, who is also a talented singer who goes by the stage name "The
Dutchess", hasn't cut her fingernails since 1990.
It takes a newborn baby 18 years to grow into adulthood. And it took Chris "The
Dutchess" Walton just as long to grow her record-setting fingernails to 19 feet,
9 inches long.
"The hardest thing for me to do is dig in my pockets," the 45-year-old rock
singer from Las Vegas says. "Everything else I can do myself -- driving,
shopping, cleaning the house ... although when I vacuum, the cord gets tangled
in my fingers."
A day before the release of the 2012 Guinness
World Records, The Dutchess visited The Huffington Post to talk about
her life and celebrate her inclusion in this year's edition -- a celebration of
"unique beauty," including fresh pictures of the world's longest tongue, the
largest afro, and a "holy man" with 453 piercings.
"I never set out to make it into Guinness," she says. "It just happened."
"One day I stopped cutting my nails. I liked the way they looked. And they just
kept growing."
