So I decided to get one and I don't look orange=)
I have never stood so unclothed, so up close to someone I'm not being intimate with, in i don't know, ever!
What? you want M. lift my leg with the tiniest piece of fabric in place ever so gently over my delicate parts so you can spray everywhere? huh? sure...
sure i'll hold my boobs in the exact position to get under them while you spray M. with brown water....

Although I have learned
-One must not go swimming in waterfalls, walk through rapids, swim at the lake, and go down natural waterslides with a child on one's lap after getting painted tan
-do not rent canoe with best friend and kids who like dunking you in water
-do not follow up canoe trip with sneaking with kids to swim in lake to later be told there is a reason you should listen to the snotty kids who work at the boat rental because the water is toxic (thanks boat policeman)...and thanks Emmy for yelling, the guard is coming he knows!!! at the top of your lungs so we cant play dumb=)

Mine has started to fade after 3 days=( mostly the natural waterslide did it...it apparently was the same as exfoliating the back of my leg- it was like scrubbing times a zillion

all worth it...but lessons well learned, although I;d still do the above anway...including the toxic water=)

So how was your memorial day weekend?
If you got an airbrush tan how long did it last?

What can I do next?

Funny. I'll keep that in mind - airbrush tan is for sitting still looking pretty, not for activities.

My Memorial Day, Both my cars are still not fixed, so we couldn't go anywhere, AND my A/C went out Friday afternnon. Landlord out of town and unreachable. Hmmm. This sucks. Too hot to stay home, car broke, can't go anywhere. No money for a hotel room. SO, I did the only rational thing. I set the tent up in the backyard and we went camping! We played in the water, made smores, roasted hotdogs, told ghost stories. The kids were pretty thrilled. All in all, several cold showers and several cold beers later, we had a lot of fun.

Ha ha! Yeah, I'm a lifer on the sunless tanning, and I've learned a few things along the way, number 1 being no swimming in a chlorinated pool; its like bleaching your skin back to white.
Never had one sprayed on by another person though. I usually J. go to the Mystic Tan booth and have a machine spray it on. Don't know if I could stand there with my girly bits out for another person to see....

Great story. Let's see.... the pool guy came out Friday to change BOTH bulbs (pool and hot tub, I learned by seeing, so next time, it's on M.). Then he cleaned the filters and the salt cell, again I watched intently, so next time it's on M.. . Then the festivities began... It was J. us all weekend, swimming, cooking out. Great weekend.
Now I'm stuck having thought all day today was Monday....
