Bottom line: tanning beds are stupid and I wholeheartedly agree with the tanning tax. If you are going to knowingly engage in behavior that has been shown to increase your risk of disease, and thus burdening our healthcare system, you SHOULD have to pay more.

Yep agree on the dangerous tans. Huge fan of the safe ones.

I don't change my whole skin tone with makeup. Anyone who wears face makeup should be matching their skin tone, or well, they'd be a clown. My point, which you completely missed, is that you are changing your skin color, and I quote you, to have a "healthy glow." The point Kappamd I think is agreeing with me on, is that we, the unsprayed, are quite healthy just the way we are. If you don't see the difference between foundation that matches one natural skin tone, and spraying your whole body with a completely different color, I can't help you.

EVERYONE in this thread needs to chill out.

It isn't "tan" alone, it is making changes in the name of health, when the fumes probably aren't that great either, I wouldn't know because I find happy with my skin tone and color, because it is exactly how it is meant to be. I have scars and pigment issues I don't cover up, and I just think the implications of saying "I need some color" or "I have a healthy glow" have social and health ramifications people don't think about. Healthy glow to me isn't a sun or spray tan, but another activity entirely...

The roll eyes nice, and for your information I wear "makeup" that has sunscreen in it, as well as hair products with sun protectant. I just don't understand why people can't like who they are and see "natural" as healthy, across the whole spectrum. So many women change their hair with risk and exposure to chemicals, their skin with all types of sun exposure and chemicals, and it really boggles my mind. If I was meant to be a different shade of hair or skin color/tone, or eye color, I would have been born that way.

I wear it for sun protection, it just stays on my face better than sunscreen when topped with UV protectant powder. I do outside work in the field all summer and I've actually worn makeup because it stays on better with the wind, sweat and rain. It seemed crazy but it worked and that's when I wear the most, when I can't shower and rely on face wipes.

I just had a flashback of Amanda from ANTM (C3) singing "I'm so white I glow on my own, I'm so white I glow on my own...." 
BTW There's a tanning lotion ad above this page now. Good job, guys. 
*sigh* I'll go back and read through this thread when I have more energy.

Tanning scares me.
I have a friend who was once pale. She started going tannning about a month before prom.
Then the day of our prom, she held her arm up to mine and said, "We're the probably the same color now."
She was right.
So scary.

I did mutter "Cocaine's a helluva drug" when Samuel L. Jackson was doing it in Jungle Fever.
So did anyone catch that Rush Limbaugh said he'd leave if the Health Care bill passed? I thought he was for real real and not for play play when I saw his really ugly penthouse listed for sale, but that was due to the mayor of NYC taxing rich people, and not because of health care.

I believe Rush said that he would leave the country for his medical services. I think he mentioned Costa Rica where I believe he already has a vacation home. I am not 100% positive on this, though.

As long as you don't believe that he is serious.

No, you're right.
CALLER: If the health care bill passes, where would you go for health care yourself? And the second part of that is, what would happen to the doctors, do they have to participate in the federal program, or could they opt out of it? [...]
LIMBAUGH: My guess in even in Canada and even in the UK, doctors have opted out. And once they've opted, they can’t see anybody Medicare, Medicaid, or what will become the exchanges. They have to have a clientele of private patients that will pay them a retainer and it'll be a very small practice. I don't know if that's been outlawed in the Senate bill. I don’t know. I'll just tell you this, if this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica. Apparently, he missed the part where Costa Rica has universal, nationalized healthcare. But going there for his healthcare will show the socialists here.
What an absolute idiot.
