ORANGE YOU GLAD?

ORANGE YOU GLAD?

Friends don't let friends get real suntans - or really bad streaks.


In our many years of using cosmetics, we've managed to seriously screw up a few choice experiments:

We've glued our eyelashes shut, fried our hair with scorching curlers, and streaked our body in uneven self-tanner.

To our friends, it's been really, really funny. Bu for us, not so much. So you can imagine our relief to hear about a new beauty product that's entirely idiot-proof (as in, us-proof):

ModelCo's self-tanning gloves, which contain just the right amount of bronzer for one application. Your tan can't be overdone, and they're gloves, so orange hands that ruin the "I just came back from Aruba" excuse are not a possibility.

Just try messing it up. We dare you.

I agree with "pale is pretty"!!! Out the window with fake tanners, I am all about showing off my lily white skin on the beach:)

eh... I personally love the Jergens Natural Glow. It's a moisturizer, so your color builds overtime, so you're not pale one day and the next looking like you've logged a million hours at the tanning salon.

thank the gods. I am buying it tomorrow. I bought Neutrogena Foam and I've never ever had such a horrible experience with self-tanners.

I like my pale look - I am pale, but not pasty - actually, I'm glowing.

I'm a guy and even though I live in LA, I've considered using a self tanner to avoid sun damage, but it seems like a hassle to do alone. I've been thinking how fun it would be to have a girl to massage it on each other... perhaps I should leave my email ;) p4s at hotmail

I'm all about loving the body you have, but "pale is beautiful" (seeing as I'm brown from head to toe) can get kind of annoying... especially when women the world over try to look lighter and sometimes accidentally burn their face off in the process.... yep. just a thought. (I also love pale skin, by the way... just don't have it)

Tans are not attractive. Not even the real ones.

no streaks? sign me up for a pair! Natalie is such a good writer. Is she single?

Im like the 30th person on here that loves being pale! I see nothing wrong with it. We are who we are so why spend money on something so fake that we end up becoming a walking billboard of what not to do? Pales of the World-Unite! That was sorta chessy, oh well.
