Kathy Hayes and her toenails

[MrBlue]

I am curious if anyone on this board knows what happened to Kathy Hayes? She has been featured on a Ripley's Believe It or Not episode, Sally Jesse Raphael talk show, and in most recent years Anderson Cooper.

I hope she is still around and sporting long toenails. I can't seem to find any social media connecting to her. Perhaps she wanted to go private and get away from the spot light with her nails. Women who grow out their toenails and maintain them long year after year is an amazing feat. I'm hoping someone comes out of the shadows and can share something about her.

Sorry but no clues.
She was a fetish superstar in the early days of the internet (awesome fingernails too).
She wrote a beautiful introduction for Tolu Solanke's book of long nail photography.

I did find this on Linkedin Pretty sure this is her.

Indi500fan,

Thanks for providing that link. It definitely looks like her. I wonder if she still keeps all of her nails long? I hope so.

Seems to be an interesting character. I tried to look her up but could not get any info.

I checked out the link to Tolu's book. Kathy's intro was really great to read. There was even a photograph of her long toenails, wearing platform sandals. I'm honestly surprised that no one has snapped a pic of her feet in recent years and posted it on a social media platform. The fact that most everyone has a phone these days with good picture taking qualities seems likely that any LNB or LTNB out in public would get photographed. I also know that many LNB/LTNB's wish to keep their lives private. I totally respect that. The world is full of people who not except long nails as a fashion norm, especially toenails. I hope wherever Kathy is, she is doing well and still keeping her nails long.

What makes Dr. Hayes especially unique is that she has the academic credentials and understanding about human behavior to write about the subject with authority, and also participates so deeply in the fetish personally.

Indi500fan,
I totally agree that Dr. Hayes is an amazing lady who embraces the long nail lifestyle. She seems very calm and secure about her long nails, despite the negative comments/vibes she may receive out in public. I think having long toenails is far more controversial than long fingernails. Long fingernails are are generally accepted by the general public as a fashion statement (the longer, the more of the "WOW" factor). Long toenails on the other hand is generally something frowned upon by most of society. People find it odd, gross, unhealthy, unattractive, and something to make fun of. Its definitely not for everyone and it takes a very very special person to want to attempt it. Being strong enough to power through the bad comments, stares, and snickers is what tests someone. My hat is off to all the LTNBs who are walking around showing off their feet to the world with a smile.

Hello,

I agree, Dr. Hayes is an incredible woman who embraces the long nails lifestyle. She exudes confidence and calm despite the negative comments she receives in public. Long nails are perhaps more controversial than long hair, the latter being generally accepted as a fashion statement, whereas long nails are often stigmatized.
