Thumbs down New Jersey Tanning Booth Mom

There are no words....

Mother allegedly took 5 year old to tanning booth. She denies it and is being charged with child endangerment.

I normally post part of the article. But, when I saw this woman's photos, I did not know whether the issue was her daughter using the tanning booth or the woman herself using the tanning booth.






Dayuummmmm, Gina! Black don't crack and if God doesn't give it to you, give it to yourself. Someone call that other Dr. Phil (the less cool one) and Dr. Drew.

That almost looks like blackface! OMG! I almost wonder if it's been photoshopped.

I can only imagine what the texture of her skin must be like. (shudder)

I want that lady to stop tanning and use the money she saves to buy some teeth.

Jeebus be the UV light of the world.

I agree!

I kept looking through articles to see whether they were photoshopped. We shall see.

I saw an interview with the woman/mother involved-Unless she was wearing a great deal of bronze-like makeup, that is how she looks. However, booking photo seems to be a bit lighter than interview.

Great deal of bronze-like makeup = blackface.

Lol...She has teeth...her mouth is closed in the booking photo. That line is some REALLY bad dark lower lip liner...apparently she has equally bad judgment when it comes to cosmetics.

They were talking about her on the Today show this am and showed the pictures up close. Kathie Lee compared her to cosmetic surgery patients who go to far and don't seem to have an accurate perception of how they look in the general public's eyes. They think they look GOOD and everyone who sees them says "YIKES."

Kathie Lee should probably make a "note to self" on this as she gets older, because I could see her going down the same slippery slope if she isn't careful.

Just did not look like make-up. Looked very real. And I would really doubt that TV crew would not make any kind of comment if they thought she was wearing some sort of make-up. One could always ask them directly-some of them have their own twitter accounts.

Ew. I see that now. When I looked at it before, it looked like her upper gums resting on her lower lip.

You say it did not look like makeup; I say it looks like she dipped her face in mud.

LOL.

No, everything that is made darker is not blackface. Blackface is a historical and contemporary intentional process of darkening one's skin to imitate, mimick, and mock. It is not flattery.

It looks like blackface at the surface but it is not blackface. If this could be considered blackface, I would say that all people of the white diaspora (those who are relatively light or consider themselves pale) and do things to make their skin darker are doing so to imitate, mimick, and mock the browner and blacker people in this world.

What is even more unbelievable to me is that this woman is only 44 years old. YIKES.

THAT is what jumped out at me first! She's got the skin of a 60 year old.

When I see her pictures I think of the james bond movie GoldFinger. To me she looks like she dipped herself in gold.
