i had a thought while walking past some attention-needy, delusional, low self-esteem individuals.

omg what a bitch thing to say, i know. but c'mon. you know them when you see them.

examples:

anyone who has a shirtless profile picture on facebook
anyone who is completely matchy matchy at the gym
obsessive fake bakers

the latter being my focus. so, we all know them. people who spend their hard earned money at the tanning salon perfecting their "glow"...

here's the truth: they're aging their skin lightyears ahead of time and willingly exposing their bodies to harmful radiation. i believe the uv radiation in a tanning bad is something like 8000x stronger than the uv radiation coming from the sun?

whatever that statistic is, it's not in favor of the tanning industry.

to me, anyone that is fakebaking is unhappy with how they look, as if a little tan is going to change anything? if you were ugly going into the tanning bed, you're gonna be ugly coming out. sorrz yall.

if you're going to mexico for some vacay action and you want to get a base before you inevitably fry while south of the border - ok i get it. but its mostly a vanity thing, you know it's true.

at any rate, so i walked by some greasy orange girl coming out of a tanning salon and i thought to myself:

everyone was sooo intrigued, appalled, and/or amused by the fact that michael jackson was a black man that turned his skin white, but NO ONE has any problem with a white person becoming orange.

hypocrites.
