Fake tanning… hmm… in my book this is a very interesting topic.

Ok, everyone knows what fake tanning is. You lay in a “tanning bed” for about 20 minutes. For that 20 minutes you get 3 hours worth of concentrated sunlight. You come out and look like a giant orange. If you want to be orange, just use self-tanning lotion… take my word on it.

Now, if that doesn’t convince people about how awful it looks… just think of your health! Skin Cancer! The easiest way to avoid it is wearing sunscreen, avoiding the sun… so you go and sit in a booth and bake in concentrated sunrays! Smooth one.

I know girls who go tanning when they are 13, 14, 15 years old! Think about it, they could develop skin cancer and die at 17 and live a ridiculously short life. OH, but wait! At least they died with a nice tan! Or, they could just spend time in the sun and use precautions like wearing a hat and sunscreen… and still get a tan, a real tan, not a nice orange.

Right now I am not extremely pale… but I am not really tan. I tan VERY easily in the summer and I am white in the winter. No big deal! Who is everyone trying to impress with a tan anyway? Guys? Well, let me tell you… if a guy is in love with your tan and not you, he needs to get a life… and so do you. If you think being tan is what it takes to be beautiful, you can’t be farther from the truth.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And, just my opinion, orange is not the prettiest crayon in the damn box.

As long as a girl isn't deathly pale...I don't care about skin color.(The really, really white skin is creepy...people like that glow in the dark) Any girl actually talking to me is a good one in my book.

Yes, i shall agree that deathly pale is a definate sign of a health problem... and it can be unattractive.

As someone who has used a tanning bed in the past, I can tell you now that you don't come out orange. Your body tans as it would if you spent lots and lots and lots of time in the sun.

No, it's not good for you.

Personally, I have a really hard time tanning. My skin is naturally pale (think china doll), and so when I get in the sun I generally burn and only rarely get "tan." During the period of time when I was using a tanning bed (three or four months) I was able to get a really robust tan. I really liked it. I have a family, so laying in that tanning bed for 15 minutes or so was really relaxing, and I enjoyed it.

I don't do it now because I'd rather not look like a leather handbag when I'm old, but I don't think less of women who choose to pump up their tans in a tanning bed.

And just a little thought...why is it not OK to make fun of someone or be rude about someone because of their skin color...unless that color happens to be milky white?

Ah I forgot white people are not supposed to have white skin?
