No hot water...at home.

Other options, if you can't stand the thought of washing in cold water...

* See if there's a local YMCA or university facility you could use [better if your lack of hot water is due to a breakdown rather than finances]
* If you're friends with your neighbors, ask to use their shower for very important events like that.
* Ditto if you have any family in town or anywhere nearby.
* And finally, if your pride will allow it, you might look into nearby shelters that have shower facilities for their residents.

Sure, there are circumstances when none of these would work, but they're a few alternatives. But seriously, there's no excuse for a lack of hygiene.
