Two words - Oy and Vey!
  • Who in their right mind thinks that having orange skin is sexy?
  • Hahaha, oh man. Or oy vey.

    Oh JamiSings, that gave me the horrified giggles for a good long while.
  • Glad you enjoyed it. LOL
    The ones with real tans rather then fake bakes - did you see how wrinkled they were?
  • Personally, I'd rather have blue skin. Google Image search "argyria," an awesome (as far as dermatological disorders go) skin condition resulting from excess silver consumption. Since colloidal silver is worthless medically, the snake oil companies that sell it should really start marketing towards cosplayers and WoW players, instead. (Full disclosure: my main is a human female warlock!)

    P.S. Checking The Beauty Brains Forum at a bar speaks poorly of my coolness, but even worse of the quality of conversation around me.
  • Doesn't that snake oil stuff cause long term internal organ damage?
  • @Curses - I check the BB Forum at bars too.  (While waiting to go on stage for my next karaoke song).
  • JamiSings -- I KNOW! The caption above one of them was "Her skin looks like the top of the gravy before you stir it" or something.....and they're right! Ewwwwww.
  • OH GODAMMIT WHY DID I LOOK AT THAT RIGHT BEFORE BED NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE NIGHTMARES.
  • What gets me is two of them are famous fashion designers. They should know better since they're in fashion!
  • I don't know which is more depressing, the women with the real tans and skin that looks like the top of gravy before you stir it or the older men with the fake tans who've botoxed their faces to the point that they look like orange aliens. Both are frightening in their own way.
  • Did you notice all of the normal pretty people with them??? Normal meaning not orange. I thought it was strange. "Wow she's pretty and he's...orange."
  • That's another thing. I mean, with people like Armani and Valentino I can see - celebs can't help whom they're forced to pose with from time to time. But the normal people with the orange ones. Ug! I'd personally be like the princess in the comic someone drew. Pushing them off of towers. Or at least telling them, "I'm not going anywhere with you until you take a shower, you orange putz!"
  • oh man that website is a great inspiration to never go tanning and be careful when you get a spray tan! That's some scary stuff!
  • hahaha for everyone's amusement, here's my current "control tan"
