I had my very first experience with the fake and bake machine today. I said all along that I would do some tanning before the wedding, so that my legs aren’t snow white with the exception of many and various bruises. I also want my shoulders, arms and back to be even. Right now I’ve got “sleeveless” lines, as I get my arms, part of my chest and back somewhat coloured on the 3 days that it’s actually been nice here.

I have to say I was quite dreading the whole process, as I’m always so over-heated, I couldn’t possibly imagine deliberately subjecting myself to HEAT! Then to crawl into a coffin shaped machine, wearing bug-eyed goggles , while otherwise mostly naked, only to pull the lid down on yourself and enclose yourself in a noisy, hot box of torture!

Since I’m so pasty, she recommended that I start with 5 minutes. Hell! I can stand anything for that length of time.

I was actually surprised at how nice it actually was! HEH
