I'm not sure which To-Do list this was on, whether it was in a magazine or online, but I know I've seen it enough to think to myself, "Oh, well, I guess I should experiment with self tanners!"
Before I go on, let me give you some background information. I am a pale girl. I wear sunscreen everyday to avoid cancer and wrinkles. When I was in high school I wanted to be tan so much (Britney Spears was SUCH a good role model!) that I went to the tanning bed every day leading up to the prom. I actually can get a tan—but you'd never know it from looking at me now.
Luckily, I've grown since then and I have a new philosophy on tanning. The only thing worse than a fake tan that give you premature cancer and/or wrinkles, is a fake tan that makes you look like orange and streaky. (Like Posh Spice in the picture!)
Nevertheless, I would prefer for there to be some difference between my skin color and my dress on my wedding day. So I'm doing what the lists say—I'm experimenting. This is only day 3 of my trial, and I'm already seeing some color. I don't think it looks too fake, but I can't be sure. And the biggest fear, of course, is that I won't be able to reach that one spot in the middle of my back that everyone will be staring at during the ceremony.
Is anyone else braving a self tanner and a backless dress? Am I crazy for even trying?
