fake tan (aka "little pieces of ice")

in my continuing quest to be the most beautiful woman on earth, i took the plunge and had fake tanner applied professionally to my entire body yesterday.
i'm slightly orange and my friend/co-worker moira said my hands look weird (they are the only part of my body exposed today since it's 56 degrees and they don't put it on the face). and while it is true - my hands do look weird - it felt great having a stranger apply brown mousse to my body with a sponge on a stick. and she went everywhere with that sponge on a stick. not to shock anyone, we totally went to "second base" and maybe some other bases but i was too busy talking about all sorts of rubbish to take note. actually the best part of it all was the full-body dead sea salt scrub beforehand which made my skin feel tear-jerkingly soft.
i would do it again only next time i will not chit-chat so much so she can concentrate on covering my fully nude physique with the strange-smelling crap. the threat of un-moussed pieces of flesh (there are a few today) is worth the awkward, "hey your sponging my boobs" silence.
all in all it's pretty exciting to be tan for no reason... and for only $50 (the same price as my pink, sleeveless, stevie nicks hoodie). but what i think i'll do next time is pay a friend to do it in exchange for a bottle of stoli.
next post: i'll discuss the "beaches" of our generation... which i decided is "beaches".

I'm a little disappointed there was no music playing. On this site, not during the mousse application. PS - did you get a Happy Ending?
