remember the episode of seinfeld where george dated a lady who was "too tan"? she was a dark brownish orange, almost burnt sienna. well, i have seen some "too tan" people downtown lately and want to say: STOP IT! A DARK ORANGE-BROWN TAN DOES NOT MAKE YOU LOOK HEALTHY. AND LADIES, IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU LOOK THINNER! IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A WALKING PIECE OF BEEF JERKY. SO CUT IT OUT!!! a little color is good. some sun is good for you (i've heard tell.) just stop baking yourself like some crispy oatmeal cookie.

there was a reality show we caught this weekend, where the dad is some rich guy who throws a party for his daughter, blah blah blah.... but the dad, he's this little jewish guy, in his 60's, who is super dark tan, with feathered blonde hair. i have spent my entire lunch break trying to find the name of the show or pics of the guy, but no luck. i know there's a reality show about girls who work in a tanning parlor, and a show on the BBC with 2 semi-famous people getting married (fake boobs, fake tan people.) but if someone can tell me the name of the show with the super dark tan father, i will award you an awesome prize.

sadly, i can't find links for any of the shows i just mentioned above. dammit to hell! the internets are dead to me! and i am left with 1 pic to use to show an example of a bad tan. very sad....
