You're so fine you blow my mind

You are alternately cold and hard, then warm and supple.

The tanned, pretty girls dancing around you make you that much more desirable. With so many disciples, surely you are credible.

But you are illicit. First with one girl, then another. Sometimes you even lure men into your snare.

Your future is tenuous. People are wising up to your destructive ways.

Even your very cleanliness is questionable. Sometimes, when the room is bright enough, I witness signs of filth.

If I stay with you too long I will get burned.

P.S. I will quit you after this week, I swear, when I fling myself into the arms of my true, steadfast love, the Hawaiian sun.

P.P.S. I will wear sunscreen.

I have always been terrified of those things - 15 minutes in the real sun and I'm burned. What is the tanning machine math? 15 minutes in there equals an hour in the real sun? I'd have to buy tanning chunks of 15 seconds a week or something.

ewwww, dirty a little? you just talked me out of ever going in one! i'll keep my pale face pale!

[Chris Austria]

yuck! Better get to Hawaii soon...Does Seattle weather really suck?

[bananas]

angie, noooooo!! step away from the tanning bed!
that thing will KILL you! Or at least give you hives. (I speak from experience)

[Lisa Milton]

I once had an illicit affair with one of those beds. I swear the rain makes us crave some beams after winter...

[AndreAnna]

Use the stand up ones - no grossness to touch and a much better tan!

Um, not that I'd know or anything.

[Tootsie Farklepants]

I quit those about 5 years ago. Before that I went. A. Lot.

[Kareer Woman]

LOL - I love tanning beds, it seems to be one of the very few places I can get away from people and all their shit and have silence and be alone with my thoughts, at least for 20 minutes :) Unfortunately I've not been to a tanning bed since last summer. Fun post!

[donna]

I'm so thankful where I go gives me the stuff to wipe the bed down before and after I climb in. You should see the amount of sanitizer I use before getting in . . . let's just say I'm glad she also offers clean towels to wipe it up and not paper towels.

The things I've heard makes me even happier.

Now, just to get over the perception if killing self slowly.

Just started my unlimited package today! I can't resist it; however, tropical sun would be far better.

[Mrs. G.]

I'm not going to lecture you on preserving your most lovely skin, but get off that tanning bed. But have an fabulous time on the beach!

[Samantha]

I quit those nasty contraptions years ago, and have slowly learnt to love my pale skin - who am I kidding, what I would give to be lying on a Hawaiian beach right now!

[Melanie at Beanpaste]

Pasty power! Down with The Bed!

[Sheena]

I love tanning beds I admit it! Besides, tanned fat looks better then white fat and I'm all about that lol

[Burgh Baby]

I want to love thee, but I just can't. I fear you may end up breaking my heart. Or my skin. Whatever!

Moderation in all things...mom said!

[foolery]

I'd be afraid the power would go out and I'd be trapped naked in a huge clam and it would require the Jaws of Life and six judgmental firemen wearing bright bright headlamps to free me . . . did I say naked? and the media would show up and do you wonder I'm so pale?

[Madame Queen]

Argh...now I'm jonesing. I miss tanning so much. But Mr. Daddy gives me so much grief if I even consider it that it's not worth it anymore.

I really like the new banner!!

[apathy lounge]

Tempting. Very, very tempting.

[Joe the Dog Lover]

I've only used one before I go to the islands to prevent getting burned.
