    I am not sure what the exact quote is from the goodness gracious me radio show character.

    But it was along the lines of "give am an aubergine and i could make at home for less" And that was everything even going to the cinema.

    :rotfl:

    Right I get my coat.

    I loved that sketch Calley!

    "Cinema? Pah. I could make it at home for cheaper. Just give me a small aubergine..."

    Or something like that! :)

    OH DEAR.... Sorry, have never tried fake tan for precisely this thread! I am pretty pale, brighter than even Daz whites! but I am still not tempted.

    Just wanted to add about the eyebrow thing, my boyfriends Nanna had no eyebrows (actually I don't think his mum does either) from years of zealous plucking and she used to draw them on but occasionally she would only remember to do one....

    Bless her... but shoes.... oh I love shoes but why do they hurt me so?
    oooh look only about 220 posts and I got round to doing my Avatar already!!

    But, fake tan does look good, honest - you just have to make sure you rub it in properly. Something I didn't do as I was distracted by the phone!!!! call.gif:eek:

    Will chance wearing a dress tomorrow - think it has faded enough now!

    How long before a study finds that the chemicals in fake tan are more harmful/aging than the sun? It would not surprise me at all.

    I just wanted to give Johnsons holiday skin body lotion a mention.It is basically lotion with a small amount of tanning agent in it which builds up gradually to a natural looking tan so no more looking like you`ve been tangoed!!!
    I have used it now for four days morning and night and it`s great,no streaking,staining and it smells nice.I would definitely recommend it.
    bye hoo

    Thanks, that's reminded me that I wanted to say you can make your own version of this stuff, as I do. I use an empty bottle from something else and mix about half and half moisturiser and fake tan, give it a godd shake and hey presto! I already had the fake tan, and I just use cheap moisturiser so much cheaper than the Johnson's and has a great effect when I use it every day. :)
