Wow, I realized I started this blog with the intention of actually using it and then I forgot about it. Whoops! I keep having these ideas of what I could write about and then I never do. That changes now. My random thought for today was brought up earlier at work: the concept of Fake-N-Bake Tanning.
For those of you who aren't "hip to the lingo" and don't know what that means, it's just a reference to tanning salons, which I completely do not understand. I'm from California, and while people there DO the whole "fake tan" thing, most people I knew got tan the old fashioned way- going outside (what a concept!).
While there are a lot of fun things to do in Utah, there aren't any beaches, and I guess... less cool things to do outdoors? Maybe? I don't really know. But for whatever reason, the girls here feel it is necessary to "cheat" and use tanning salons. Which is... fine, I guess, if you're into the whole "paying-for-skin-cancer-when-you-could-go-sit-outside-for-a-while-and-get-it-for-free" kind of thing. But there are girls here who fake tan ALL WINTER LONG.
"Excuse me miss I love your tan, but there is a snowstorm going on outside. However did you manage that?" Seriously. Who do you think you're fooling? I mean, is there really a point to fake tanning if everyone KNOWS it's fake? That seems a little silly to me. Oh well! I guess it's just one of those things I'll never understand. Fake bake away, ladies! =)
