She only goes once every two weeks and looks like that?

You could put an LV stamp on her and make her into a handbag!

'Tanorexic'? Jeeze. Remember kids, you're not a real person until you have a Brand Name™, labeled "disease".

"Hello, everyone. Does my tan frighten you? Perhaps, it should. What you're looking at is the tan of the future. Unless America changes it ways, when I look at a knockout babe like Dyan Cannon, and I see the ravages that ozone depletion has wrought on her leathery, flaking skin, I think, "My God, what have these fools done?" For those of my generation - for John Derek, for Bob Guccione - it may be too late. But who will speak for the Rob Lowes? For the Chad Lowes? For the Lorenzo Lamas'? Or the two Coreys? What kind of tan can they expect? Certainly not a healthy, golden tan. Not even a tawny bronze. The best they can hope for is a light cocoa. Think about that this Christmas."

Wow, her skin is so dark now, she could work in an off-shore call centre!

She's going to die painfully, and she's going to deserve it. Hopefully it'll happen before she gets a chance to breed.

I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want a tan. It seems counterintuitive to me.
 
2005-05-12 12:50:26 PM
whaddayaknow, the english can get a tan.

What's the problem? Let the stupid biatch die of skin cancer. Problem solved.

MoriyaMug:

Um, I can assume that at 14 you were already an adult, not making stupid decisions of any kind? And you haven't made ANY stupid decisions since that age--getting drunk, overeating, buying a Backstreet Boys CD?

Yes, the kid is doing serious harm to herself. But she's 14 years old, for crying out loud. How you can hope--your words--she dies painfully from cancer is pretty freaking inhuman.
 
2005-05-12 03:16:47 PM
Shouldn't be legal if you're under 18.
 
2005-05-12 03:48:45 PM
And there are no adults at the tanning salons that can prevent her from using them???
 
2005-05-12 04:25:03 PM
"I just can't imagine being white"

Yeah, because being white is such a horrible thing.
 
2005-05-12 04:25:15 PM
Gotta love the fake 'n' bakers, living for the moment. Who cares about leathery, cancerous skin at 30? You're only young once, better to make your nubile young body look like a plastic Cheeto!
 
2005-05-12 04:25:19 PM
Her mother, Ann, said the fact that sunbeds sessions are so cheap is part of the problem.

"You would give your child a pound to get some food or drink, but Hayley was using it to go on the sunbeds. They are just so cheap."


I would say that her shiatty parenting is part of the problem.
 
2005-05-12 04:25:40 PM
Next thing you know they'll be saying drinking is bad for you.

/my liver must be punished
 
2005-05-12 04:25:56 PM
She should take up smoking too and be done with it.
 
2005-05-12 04:26:14 PM
If tanning beds are outlawed, then only outlaws would have tans.

Think about it people. No. Really really think about it. Think about what you are realy saying.

Yea, I thought so.
 
2005-05-12 04:26:57 PM
"And you haven't made ANY stupid decisions since that age--getting drunk, overeating, buying a Backstreet Boys CD?"


Getting drunk is not stupid, it's a solution.
 
2005-05-12 04:27:10 PM
pretty freaking inhuman.

Have you seen the picture? The only INhuman here is her.

That image deserves to become a classic!

2005-05-12 04:28:30 PM
Hmmm, most tanning places don't let you go if you are under 18. she is 14 lots of girls are really skinny around that age; perfectly normal, unless they hit the ring-dings hard.
For a brit she looks good.

/I kid I kid
 
2005-05-12 04:28:56 PM
do a followup in 10 years when she looks like a florida granma
 
2005-05-12 04:28:57 PM
She should get herself acquainted with a good pimple popper MD, but until then, put some aloe on it.
 
2005-05-12 04:28:59 PM
Despite this advice she still visits sunbed salons about once a fortnight.

What the hell is a fortnight? Is that like twice a year?

/scratches head, balls
 
2005-05-12 04:29:11 PM
To highlight Donald_McRonald's point:
"You would give your child a pound to get some food or drink, but Hayley was using it to go on the sunbeds. They are just so cheap."

If only it were hundreds upon hundreds! Then she'd steal from the house and we'd take action. I just can't have my daughter stealing tea kettles and other haberdashery! Just the thought makes me violently ill! Cancer? Meh.

That picture looks like John Kerry in drag

the one time i went to a tanning bed, they required a parent's signature on the form if you were under 18. i was 16 then and the guy didn't seem to care. luckily i never went back and am still pale as a ghost.
 
2005-05-12 04:30:40 PM
Tanorexic?

or anorexic?
 
2005-05-12 04:30:41 PM
We should start calling fat people hamorexics.
 
2005-05-12 04:30:43 PM
I suppose it would be too difficult for the mother to start acting like a PARENT & tell her child "NO?"

"but...but..she won't like me anymore!!!!!"
 
2005-05-12 04:31:10 PM
She'll never get a gig on Coronation Street with that skin tone. Unless she plays Dev's long lost daughter of course.

I'm happy we did not see the NSFW saggy boobie shot of her

Rev. Skarekroe - I feel dirty just for reading that comment...

/stealing it for future use.
//somewhat hamorexic myself...
 
2005-05-12 04:33:56 PM
I'd hit it in a couple years; that great accent on an 18 year old would make up for the football skin.
 
2005-05-12 04:35:03 PM
a fortnight is two weeks. brits like to use it.
 
2005-05-12 04:35:07 PM
enough with the sammich comments... First she is a 14 year old girl(they tend not to be developed yet) and Second, not everyone has to look like an overweight american, out of breath from an all day combination of sitting at the keyboard and non stop snacking. If your stomach has lapped over your belt, and you can't get up 3 flights of stairs with out taking a breather, that is not a good thing.

/yes I am an american
