wiw,

Oh my gosh. I never thought about the spray tan stuff. I have never used that.

Remember that stuff called "Q-T" I think it was. Back in the 60's. Well, I was going to look so wonderful on some early summer date to Coney Island. (Cincinnati's Coney Island, not the real Coney Island.) Anyway, I got my hair all teased up and then to finish off my glamorous look, slathered myself with "Q-T." (Is that what it was called?")

I looked like I was rusted. Corroded. Well, it was actually a rather bright shade of orange. And it was streaked. It was awful. I was an idiot. And I looked like one.

And I was such an idiot that I tried to get it off with Clorox. Yep. Clorox. I do not know why I picked Clorox. But I did. Well, it streaked worse. And then I smelled like a washing machine full of whites. Oh, wiw, it is amazing that I ever managed to get a date. Whenever I see that "Blue Man" thing I always think of "Orange Girl."

Thus, to this day, I am completely traumatized at the thought of artificial tanning. And I spend my outside hours slathered with sunscreen. But I hear that the spray on stuff is pretty good now. I will look into it. Thanks.

You girls are too much fun. I will certainly keep you all posted as this goes along.
