To be utterly stunned by this woman's tan?

[ShellyBoobs]

It's unbelievable enough that anyone would put a child in a tanning booth but that issue aside, what on earth would make someone want to tan to this extreme?

I'm a bit that the headline made me , but that aside, I am stunned by the whole thing.

I am an absolute [fake] tan addict, but this a whole new level of insanity. Just how much time must she spend on sun beds? Where does she get the money from?

I didn't even notice the headline

I'd been googling for news about the lady who was mauled by a cheetah at a game park, and then spotted this story too.

What made me was the bit at the end saying Are YOU a tanning addict? Contact blah blah at the sun...
Exploitative bastards.

44? She looks about 60

the cheetah story.... and the only thing I thought about that was what sort of husband carries on snapping away while his wife is getting attacked!!!

It is a complusive/obessive disorder that she has, she is as they say, an addict.

I read about this from a different source. A friend of mine who was an addiction counsellor has told me about this, it isn't uncommon to replace one addiction with another.

When she worked with ex drug users they had a 'contract' and on it was kepping a diary of activity. It became apparent that many were using tanning/excercise as a replacment for drugs, so they were not in recovery as thought.

This woman has just gone straight to tanning for her 'fix'.

oh dear

at 'whose skin is a mahogany colour'
strange woman

Methinks they have out some dark makeup on her as well to make a better story

WHY would you get into a a cage with several large predators? Almost as stupid as deliberately burning your skin.

God, people do so seriously weird and stupid shit. Fucking hell.

She reminds me of one of those brown troll dolls with the white hair from the 1970s.

she reminds me of Madge off Benidorm!

Supertressy

Its a really strange uneven brown colour as well isnt it, like she has fell asleep in the sun with a few dozen bars of unwrapped Cadburys Bournville chocolate on her face.

It is not just fake tan, it is fake fake tan IMHO

She's probably got OCD or some other disorder and we should feel sorry for her.

No, I don't think so, I don't feel anything for her except anger if she really did put her daughter in there.

It ifs her skin, America is as we all know a free country, it is her business if she wants to destroy her skin, but she has no right to do it to anyone else.

To be fair, there doesn't seem to be any real proof that her daughter was in the actual booth. There were no witnesses. It was still careless if she was playing outside without proper sun block and clothing.
As far as her tan goes it looks absolutely hideous and incredibly aging.

gotta love boot polish, or photo-shop!!

Can you really tan that much?

That's not a tan, it's a dark mahogany stain.

Poor kid tough, she doesn't stand a chance. I wonder why the woman feels the need to tan constantly? Must be some kind of issue going on there.

My mother is the same colour "mahongany" as this woman, if not darker, she has a medical condition that means that she produces too much melanin. The amount of times people think its ok to ask her where she got her tan from is unbelievable. I usually let them dig for a bit, and then just say "she hasn't been on a sunbed/abroad she has a life threatening medical condition" Its a bit unfair of me really, not to say so but the insisting "well you ddidnt get that tan around here" to "oooh, aren;t you a lovely colour" grates after a while.

As it's illegal for under 14s to go into booth methinks salon owner and girl's Dad wouldn't dare admit it if she had. They don't mess around with prison sentences in the US.

her skin colour varies a lot according to which photo of her you look at. I don't really know what she looks like. I think a lot of these photos have been touched up to exaggerate it but her skin cannot be in a good state
