ok so I'm driving down the road and I see this sign "30 seconds to a tanner you" or something like that.
Being a what the hell kind of guy I go inside and ask to be tan.
I am all kinda weirded out in a way because I am the only guy inside this... obviously all women's environment. but I managed to keep a straight face and pay my money.
the girls take me back to the booth and explain how it works, what to do and how to stand.
Now I realize that this is a spray on tan but I really did not think about it till I pushed the green button.
I gets naked and press the button and all of a sudden the rational part of my brain kicked in and said "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" then the nozzle's start ----hissing---- and I am standing there like a car on an assembly line and these paint nozzles are shooting me with myst.
Again the rational part of my brain pops in with "DO YOU REALIZE HOW STOOOOPID THIS IS?"
The spraying stops and I robotically turn around and the spray begins again.
My brain kicks in with "YOU WASTED 20 BUCKS YOU IDIOT"
The spraying stops and I step out of the booth - I dont look any different - I wipe off the mist/shower as I was told and expediantley get dressed, I shuffle out to the waiting room and tell the girls "thanks for the nice time" and hurry out the door
I go home and check the mirror at home and I guess I am tanner but its not that great of a job. so I am sad
that I did not get a really dark tan but I did get tanner.
I guess what I really walk away with here is an appreaciation for what these models and Movie stars must go through on a daily basis just to try and be perfect. I mean really.
I was just doing it on a whim. but there are people that live and breath this kind of stuff.... If its not tanning or teeth whitening or tummy tucks or god knows what else.
Why I ask ?
Why are we doing this?

That story was hilarious. From your profile picture you look like you are a nice red/blue colour - you really don't need to tan. Movie stars always look small and a bit plain in person. That's why they have makeup and lighting people - there is only so much spraying you can possibly do.
Hope you are well.
