Gims, there's nothing wrong w/ being lily white. That's how I like my hubby:)

White is fine, and that's what I usually am, especially my legs. But I'll be wearing a swimsuite in public, and as someone mentioend before, tan cellulite looks better than white cellulite. So yeah, I do want to tan before I go.

It's two days after my spray tan, and I'm actually pretty pleased. It became about the right shade of tan and seems very even. The only thing that didn't work out are two places at my joints - one wrist and one ankle must have been bent while being sprayed, because there are white/lighter stripes of skin because of the bending. But now I know how to do it right to avoid that for when I get it again right before my cruise.

Hey, why not just pin a note on the back of your girlfriend that says, "I'm a virgin" or something like that and watch everyone's attention go to her....then you don't have to worry bout the "cellulite" stuff...

Whatttt? I'm onlyyyyy trying to help here.

Good idea, JJ! Or another idea - - I could wear a shirt that promotes the new fashion of "Textured Skin" and just show off all the cellulite. Maybe it would be a new trend! Dancer, you're all about trends, can we go au natural and start a trend for textured skin?

Or I could wear pantyhose with my swimsuit; I actually saw someone wearing pantyhose with their swimsuit a long time ago, and it wasn't in a beauty pageant. Weird, huh? Course some might think I'm weird getting a spray tan. Ah well, each to his own.

I stay away from sprays. I once sprayed my hair with athletics foot spray. I will say, however, it held up all day and my scrap didn't itch one bit.

You gals are a riot!!! I'm still laughing.

I read this thread with interest as I'm also in the same boat. No pun intended. We're going on a cruise next March and I too am white as a sheet. I live in the Pacific Northwest, land of RAIN!

I walk a lot outside so my arms are tanned below my short sleeve shirts. Now isn't that cool with an evening gown on or sleeveless dress or swim sut??? NOT

I would rather go without a tan than go to a tanning booth. Now the spray tan or brush is something I might be interested so will wait for the final results.

How do I get email notificatins of replies? Can anybody tell me?

Again, another hilarious thread, I swore blind that I would never, ever do the spray tanning of any description(three older sisters look like an older version of The Three Degrees!)...however, the eve before my Marriage was due to take place..I was having the full works, tan, wax(eybrows) nails, makeup and hair(trial run at the last min!!!)When I went in for my tanning session, I asked if she would just do my legs and my upper torso(missing out my stretch marks),the wee lassie who was ever so sweet,laughed hard and reminded me of my honeymoon night and asked me if I wanted to look like a ciggerette tip!! Now, Kathy, I just enmassed all the courage in the world as I aggreed for the 'full monty'...she handed me a pair of paper knickers(thongs)..left me to undress and returned, in ten mins it was over...and I did not give a toss. When I went to my makeup guy afterwords..he did a we breif overlook to make sure it was ok..and no, I wasn'y 'tangoed'.
The moral of my tale is to tell you all...If I can stand infront of a pretty wee lass in paper knickers..I can bl*&dy well do anything!!!..If you remember my wedding photos...then you will remember I looked a million dollars!!!

Go for it I say..the whole hog done professionally will ahve you feeling a million dollars..or I

will eat my hat!! Have fun with it.

Poppie
