Tanning Bed Insanity

Some of you may have heard this story:

“Tanning Mom” Case Spotlights Tanning Bed Dangers for Minors | Healthy Living - Yahoo! Shine

Holy crap! See the pictures of the mom?

That level of tanning bed dedication rises to the level of mental disorder, IMO. Does she look in the mirror and see a pasty-face complexion, much like a person suffering from anorexia or bulemia sees a fat person in the mirror, rather than the reality of malnutrition?

Tanning beds are insane.

I saw that lady on the news last night. YIKES! Her face looked like she fell asleep and fell into a hot frying pan. Her nose was all black on the end. WTF?

This woman is simply preparing herself for when she dies - she's getting the mummification process started early...

Dont know if she really had her daughter tanning or not, but the mom looks like she does have an addiction. You would think the tanning salons would see her overtanned face and turn her away? Just imagine how her face will be dried out and wrinkled like a catchers mitt soon, if she keeps on tanning like that. eewww

You are correct, sir........
