Tanning salons, the new version of blackening your teeth?
This thought occurred to me the other day.
When sugar was first imported and the lower classes couldn't afford much they used to artificially blacken their teeth to give the impression that they could afford lots. Now people go and either get spray painted with Cuprinol or (even worse IMHO) they lay in a skin cancer inducing coffin to pretend they can afford to go somewhere to get that level of exposure. I just don't get it. Maybe the next fad will be radiation, go and get your healthy green glow on a Chernobyl tour now! Anyone got any thoughts?

Re: Tanning salons, the new version of blackening your teeth?
I like the idea. I'm not bald, I can just afford to visit the hairdresser lots. I'm not fat, I can just afford to eat a lot of food. I'm ugly because... er... well I don't need to be handsome cos I'm loaded, right?
If only it were true

Re: Tanning salons, the new version of blackening your teeth?
I have no idea why people feel any need to change their natural skin colour, but am I a hypocrite because I do dye my hair?

As for tanning, I do my level best to avoid it. Even on a recent trip to Thailand it was remarked to me that my sun tan consisted of a mild change in my usual pallid sickliness! Bring on the Gothic Darkness I say! |

Re: Tanning salons, the new version of blackening your teeth?
is it the same as having a sky subscription ( sky representative - "you must be mad not to take the deal!")
Wearing pristine knee sliders on the road Drinking red bull - cos it gives you wings Driving any car other than a dacia sandero I'm always a bit weary of people with beards as they clearly have something to hide!

Brettus - I don't *think* this was a dig so I suggest you don't rise to it! And I have to ask if your OP question was brought on after one of your Cointreau, Draino and Ribena cocktails??

Yes, now is the time to figure out how to create a fake green glow so you cash in on it when the fad hits. Quote:
