Brown goopy mess.
This morning I did something very odd. I stood in a booth, naked as a jailbird, and had brown gooey stuff sprayed all over me for about 10 seconds. I probably looked really freeking bizarre with a blue disposable showercap on my head, dripping in brown gunk.
In fact, I’m praying they didn’t have hidden cameras in the place, because that was supremely disgusting. I got a “airbrush tan” today — But, I think the label is a misnomer — It should be called “sticky mess tan”. I’m still not convinced, a few hours later, that I did the right thing. I had picked up a bottle of self-tanner yesterday at London Drugs, and almost bought it (at least I know what I’m getting with that) but elected to go the route that I thought would be less trouble. Note to self: Putting on lotion is a lot less mess, not to mention less costly.
This effort is all because I think my arms look like hell in my halter-style black dress I’ve purchased for tomorrow night’s Captain’s Dinner at the rowing club. I really need to be less concerned — I know I’m being ridiculous, but at least with a bit of a tan the contrast between my starkly white arms and the black dress is reduced, and hopefully my arms won’t stick out as being so flabby. I really MUST work on that part of my body alot more!
So, that’s my morning adventures! Isn’t everyone jealous? …I didn’t think so.

You kill me, Sue. That said, at least you’ll look NORMAL
Guys, take my word for it — You are far better off getting a self tanner from a drug store. I’m not liking the results after about 5 hours of “curing”. I’ve gotten far better tans from a lotion that I apply with a pair of gloves in the past (and get a friend to do your back) then this one I spent almost 30 bucks on.
I wish I had read someone else’s take before doing this…
Awwww… now I’m going to be the ONLY person there who’s whiter than a sheet of paper. Dangit. I’m going to have to go and fake-tan too. (I, however, will be using the bottle. You’re a brave soul to do the airbrush thing).
You should’ve taken before and after shots of your arms for comparison.
Let us know how they look (assuming it takes some time for the tan to kick in, as I wouldn’t know). I’m pastey white myself, and have considered that option.
I just spent 25 minutes at Shopper’s trying to decide whether to try a fake tan at ALL for this shindig. In the end, because they were out of my “tried, tested and true” brand, I’m going to go with the “alabaster beauty” look. At least I’ll be visible to traffic when I’m crossing the road. We’ll just have to hope there are no blacklights being used.
Yup, I’m with Ed on this one!
Wouldn’t it have been more fun to book 5 days in Mexico and real-tan in the hot sun, drinking Mojitos and chillin’ on the beach?
Mexico or Brown Goo… hmmmm….
