wow, there's a name for everything I guess!

I think I may have seen one at the pool the other day. I was there for like 2 hours, this girl was as dark as my coffee and she layed out the whole time. But I knew she started out white because her kids were blonde and fair skinned. Her skin just looked unnatural and it's going to catch up with her.

oh carleigh, you can still be tanorexic..

the most tanorexic people out there are those who misuse the spraytan...

there's still time for you to become orange!

I'm thinking that word is meant for people who go to tanning salons and use the beds and booths, not so much for people who get natural tans. Who know though. I know I see alot of orange people here and it's kinda unattractive to me. Tanning to get some color is one thing, but so many people go way overboard with it.

Oh my. I see lots of people around here that just need to step away from the tanning bed. Or get a hobby or something...too much time in sun = too tan = leather girl = skin cancer.

I'll take my pastey white, casper looking skin over that orange leather skin any day. Although I do feel better with some color. I tried Mystic a few weeks ago and it worked out nicely for a wedding I was in. I wasn't orange either. ha-ha! That pic is hilarious though. Seriously, lady, step away from the tanning booth.
