Pale is the new tan

[Beach Runner]

Police are investigating a woman accused of taking her 5-year-old to a tanning bed. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2012/05/02/wcbs-mom-tanning-daughter.wcbs

Hasn't she seen http://www.paleisthenewtan.com/ ? And she's doing this to her 5-year-old!

Some people should never be parents. That said, others should keep out of parent's business regarding the raising of their children, unless they are doing something criminal or their child is doing such.

Did you see the picture of the woman? She is orange!

She looked horrible!!!

Yes, she looks horrible. But I remember back in the day I thought that the more tanned I was, the better I looked. I would actually schedule the classes I taught so that I could maximize my tanning time midday. Also I thought that the blonder I was, the better I looked. So on for our wedding, I dyed my long hair platinum blonde. Seriously.

So old school. Pale is the new tan, and brunette is the new blonde from what I see from my college students.

Some color is more attractive, but the oddly popular orange and deep tans that are almost blackface are far from it.

I agree. And black is beautiful if it's natural.

I choose the pale shade these days! I don't have the patience for "laying out" in in the sun or even getting hot!

I enjoy the sun - wrinkles and skin cancer not so much!

God knows what color combinations look good on you, so don't change them too much!

There is nothing normal about this woman. She must have some kind of body dysmorphic (sp?) syndrome. Really sad. I have a feeling she might be enjoying the attention. She looks like an Oompa Loompa from Willie Wonka! Must have been a slow news day on the Today Show.
