To brighten up your days !! - fake tan gone wrong !!

So I had to share this with you... !!

Just gone through my picture files and found this, which has had me in hysterics !

Yes - this is me. Taken last year I think, the day before I was going to audition for X-Factor !!

This was a St-Tropez, and I even had to drive home from the therapists looking like i`d been tangoed... needless to say i got some strange looks !! haha !!

    Simon would have loved it!!
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
  • :rotfl: :rotfl: What are you wearing? No offence but you look like across between the scarecrow and the tinman out of the wizard of Oz.:D good to have a laugh though I have very few photos of me, and the ones in print are the very reason;)

    You are so brave.
    Reminds me of the time I first used fake tan in the '70's and what a laugh. My mum forced me to go to school and a so called friend advised me I never used enough and that is why I was orange. Another 2 applications later and I was unmissable. Very wary since.

    lol liz, I have to say to me you look quite normal! But that may be because I used to be a ballroom and latin dancer so spent a week before any big competitions putting on layer after layer of fake tan with a mini paint roller!

    Huh? You don't look orange to me?!?

    I used St. Tropez for the first time in my life last night, and it didn't even absorb into my skin, i just completely washed off in the morning ... waste of money
