evidently not because she's green. that's can't be healthy.

you know the air suction things that they have before people go into the super clean areas at like NASA and what not. thats what she did

good theory patrick!

wow. never thought of that.. haha.. patrick. u sound smart. haha.. i would have NEVER thought of something like taht.. but yet if she did do that.. then how come shes GREEN??? like EW.. haha.

haha, maybe...but i think she was called "wicked" cuz of the stench from poor hygiene ::shrugs::

In the book <i>Wicked</i>, she kept clean by using oils - kind of like the ancient Romans did sometimes.

I say that they didn't have the technology suggested by patrick...therefore I theorize she was dry clean only

see nathan... look how many

Did u know that she really was not wicked. I saw this muscial in Chiago called wicked and she really was not wicked she was just trying to help people and it backfired. lol I know it is random but it made me think of it!

I wouldnt shower either if melting was the outcome...

thank-ya. and no, she didn't. EVER. ^_-

ps - i want your hair

I think she had gangrene

i love the new icon pic .... awesome :)

In the book and musical Wicked, she was born Wicked and couldn't take a shower cuz then she would melt. so she used oils to stay clean. p.s. she was born green cuz her mom drank this green elixer stuff the wizard gave her

Why do you think she was green? hmmmmm

Some one took my idea about her being dry clean only. Considering that she would melt if she got wet, she obviously could not shower. This could explain the green color of her skin.

Her skin is green from the mold. But that's what everyone is saying. So I'll just ruin the Wizard of Oz for you now by telling you that the Wicked Witch of the West is symbolic for the harsh evironmental conditions that farmers faced, and the water symbolized irrigation. Oh the things you learn in history class...

You ruined it for me Amy! :)

amy powers. i dislike strongly when people go all historic. why do people have to say he was writing that b/c of the farmers and the movement going on then. i love the wizard of oz, and i will stick by the thought of it merely being a children's book-- true classic. boo for people who try to draw symbolism. now that i have made a huge dork of myself....hahaha

maybe the real question should be how did she not die of dehydration! nice profile pic by the way.

well.............you see.............little ms witchy did take showers. what happened is........when she was younger, she was playing on her broom when she fell. Her face and all of the rest of her body got grass stained....it's not really her fault....and that's also when she became mean because all the kids at witch school were mean to her so she became a bully...........so there's your answer to the question of whether or not the

sry bout that..........i didn't mean to leave it twice..........i wasn't finished typing but i pushed post remark......lol

I think green was a good color for her.. ha

i think she didn't know about showers

i think green is the grunge and mold worn on her from dung beatles.

maybe she was just sick all the time......... so she turned green.......... which was why she was evil, because she was sick, and sick pepole aren't very happy in my experience.............i kno i'm never happy when i get sick............... :}

I always just figured she was green because she was evil. o.O Quite honestly, If I saw a green person walking around the halls with a big pointy hat and a broomstick, I'd probably think they were evil. Refering to the question, I'd probably have to say that, no, she didn't take showers. How else could you get flying monkeys to follow you around?!?! They were probably her personal groomers. Monkeys like picking lice and what not off of people-cheap, free labor! It can't get much better than that. Also, the "wickedness" (i.e. stench) probably helped to spread the hostility around. You just can't act normal when you're staring at a green lady who doesn't take showers. I don't think she was much of a people-person.

she was on nick& the green slim never came off after that.

she had a hoarde of flying monkies to do her bidding . . . two words . . . sponge bath...

i think it is funny how only some people really got this joke.

she used oils. read the book. ;)
