How Bim is This?

I did something deliciously vain last night. I got a professional spray on tan. I wanted to try it out before Jenny’s wedding. The thought is that my legs, arms, and face are adequately colored but my chest and back are pretty pale. Since my halter dress will be showing a lot of skin, I’d like to even out a bit. I’m not sure it helped me even out, but I feel delightfully sunny, although perhaps a little streaky. The color is a very nice brown, not really orange at all. I went with the level one Mistic Tan.

First, you get naked. Then you put on the hair net/shower cap. Then you slather your feet, toenails, hands and fingernails with lotion. (To a lesser extent, you can rub some into your knees, elbows, ankles and heels. Be sure to have recently showered, shaved, and exfoliated!) Then step in the booth, push the button, and the crazy spray covers you up and down really fast for about 15 seconds, then you turn around and let it spray your behind. You’ll have to hold your breath for about 30 seconds or inhale the aerosol tan like I did. Then you towel off and your tan will start deepening in a couple hours! Next time, I’ll try and do a better job rubbing it into my arms. Yay for spray on tans!
