I dunno - it always makes me a little sad to hear women privilege looking good over health - but then I remember once picking up an article on how underwire bras are bad for me, and reading the headline and then putting it back down. I mean - we all know high heels are bad for us - we still all put them on. It's just easier to say that other people should give up things that you don't use.

I seriously wonder where these stereotypes come from. Seriously you think once you cross the boarder it goes from green to ice or something?
Yea your right us Canadians are just living in igloos bundled up in our parkas being all pale and stuff. Hell we don't even shave because the body hair keeps us warm ::)
Also i've heard a hell of a lot of Americans say 'eh' as well so its not just Canada.
FTR it was 95F here yesterday.. my damn igloo melted ::)

Are you sure you look "deathly sick", or you just don't feel comfortable with being pale? There's plenty of gorgeous ladies out there that are pale gals and many think their beautiful. (Dita comes to mind)
Pale does not =sick. But maybe society with it's rage for the tan, has made us think that.
Call me crazy, but I'd rather possibly look "sick" to some people rather than actually being sick, especially with the OP.
Actually, I think that society is kind of getting over the "if you're pale, you look like you're either sick, or a dork" thing. I used to HATE my fair complexion... when I danced, I tanned regularly. Now, I embrace my pale-ass skin. It's me. And it's beautiful :) (and if someone disagrees, they can look away)

I just stop tanning about a month ago- my mom has skin cancer and it's deff. not worth it.She made me promise that i would never go in another tanning bed..
That video made me cry... so fucking sad =0(
That girl is so brave- i don't know how she was talking about her funeral and her last birthday with her friends and everything so calmly. It should be a lesson to all of us-IT'S JUST PLAIN NOT WORTH IT! and being in this business it's really hard not to, but there are lotions out there and like she said the spray on tan. You might be al ittle blotchy from it but it's not like we're dancing in bright lights!!! AND IT'S DEFFINETLY NOT WORTH OUR LIVES!

I don't think everyone who is pale looks sick. Seriously though I *DO* look sick with no tan. Even my own mother who is 'anti tanning beds' tells me I look better with a tan because when I didn't tan I looked like death. Im not going to risk losing bookings and money by not tanning. I don't live life going 'what if'. I live life for the moment. I can't be bothered stressing about the future because I have enough going on now. I will deal with shit when it happens. Since i've started tanning i've felt healthier, I havn't been as depressed and I LOOK healthier.
I think if you can rock the pale look then thats awesome. A lot of girls look damn sexy with pale milky skin and I wish I could too, but alas I don't.
I know tanning is not healthy for you and im not trying to convince anyone otherwise. At the same time though what is healthy for you these days? If one thing doesn't kill you another will.

I didn't start using a tanning bed until a few months back. And now that I have I am never giving it up, although I am thinking now that I should quit tanning my face and just use a selftanner instead.
I am so white I glow green under UV lights. No joke. If I have a bruise (which is all the time with the thin skin I've got) it shows up as a dark pit of doom on my skin. All of my veins show through. If I wear hot pink, which looks lovely on me when I'm even tanned to the slightest, I turn BLUE in comparison! I've been joking about dancing to that "I'm blue dabadidaa daa" song for ages. Or the Smurfs soundtrack.
If they sold Sally Hansen spray here I might consider going without a tan as I could just use the lightest shade to hopefully even out my skin some. Then I might look Dita glowy and white. I'd love to sport that look. Unfortunately my veins, bruises and thin skin prevent me from doing that.
I don't have any recent pics of myself at all without some type of bronzer or something applied. These are from spring/summer 05 I think. In this one I'm wearing a tinted moisturizer, blush and bronzer:
http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13988&stc=1&d=1188375768
This one's with my skin as is, makeupwise anyway, but I've got selftanner on (you can see blotches and veins on my chest):
http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13989&stc=1&d=1188375784
My natural hair colour is dark brown too, so that isn't helping any.
I use a tanning bed once or twice a week now, twice for a shorter time if I haven't gone for a while, once for a bit longer time if I've been going regularly. It doesn't make me look tanned but it gives me a COLOUR rather than just pale white. Then to create tanning I apply a ton of selftanners, and if it looks like it's going to be a busy night at work (such as weekends) I put on some Rimmel instant tan colour cream.
I had a photoshoot a while ago and within the week before that I think I went to the tanning bed four times (x10 minutes), put on selftanner the night before and applied tinted moisturizer on my skin. That left me with this (note the faded bruising on the left leg):
http://www.iltalehti.fi/iltatytto/m/200735_00_itm.jpg
under natural lighting. In the studio pics (sig) I actually do look tanned, how lovely.
And yea, even with my "tan" using the tanning bed once a week and selftanner people keep marvelling at how white I am. I've started wearing triangle tops and bottoms on the sunbed now so I can show people how white I REALLY am. Makes them shut up embarrassed. I don't drink, I don't smoke, my only vices are the tanning bed and caffeine. I think I'm doing fairly good considering.

well ladies. i havent said this publicly but i just had two places removed that were cancerous. one was basil and the other was squamous. the squamous can spread like melanoma.
remember it isnt always right when you tan but mostly shows up years later. once you have it you are prone to it.
i quit tanning a year ago. i now wear sunscreen and yes i sport the pale look. my arms and face are still darker because of riding my horse. i havent been non tanned in years and never thought i could do it. it doesnt bother me at all now knowing i'm lucky i didnt have melanoma.
as an aside why would anyone in CANADA expect someone to be tan? i definatly see that here in florida but canada... weird
Because you need to look exotic and above the norm for shows. And let's face it, in Canada, a tan is pretty damn exotic!

I was also surprised that she didn't look more sick but did anyone notice that she seemed to be having difficulty breathing and talking and she is on oxygen?
There was an update on our local news that she made it to her 26th birthday and she celebrated it at a local amusement park LUNA PARK in St Kilda.
When interviewed she seemed a little out of it prob as a result of the very strong pain medications that she is taking.
I watched that video up to 10 mins into it until she was talking about her funeral. That was just too sad and depressing.

Ok, enough random blabbing about how Canada has no sun from non-Canadians (have you ever...been..to Canada??). A tan is in no way 'exotic' up here. It's a beauty norm, same as most other western countries.

oh no don't apologize, chica! I hear you though...I started smoking again (had a majorly stressful weekend) and love the way I feel after laying in the sun. I don't feel that I'm overzealous with either one...but just can't seem to quit entirely. :-\
Noooooo!!!! You started smoking again!!!! Noooooo!!!!!
I like the way I look with a tan once in a while, and even though I'm Latina, I've never really been able to get very tan lying in the sun or using a bed, neither of which I do very often though.
When I was visiting a friend on this board a couple of months back, she took me to get spray tanned at a place she goes to and it looked great! Not the kind of thing I want to maintain all the time, but once in a while it's fun to do.
But yeah, women have been doing stuff that's really potentially harmful to their skin to change their complexions. For centuries it was to lighten the skin, since pallor indicated you didn't work outdoors and were in the upper classes. It wasn't until Coco Chanel came back from a vacation brown and toasty that tans caught on among the jet-set and then trickled down to the rest of the population as a sign of "attractiveness".
I love wearing heels, BTW. I know they're not the best things for my feet, but if I'm given the choice between hammertoes and melanoma, I'll take the former. Fortunately I have neither. :)

Maybe it's from watching Degrassi for years. Or maybe it's because our satellite dish picks up Canadian programming. Either way, I learned a long time ago Canada was just as green, tan, and "Westernized" as the US.

I think it's true about the genetic disposition. I'm blonde and green eyed, so you'd expect me to burn, but I don't. I've gotten all of three sunburns in my whole life...and I tan fairly easily if I try. So I don't think it's killing me...who knows though. Maybe it is.
But my parents look like they're from India with how tan they get from all their golfing. I'm only really outside while riding, and then it's only my arms that are exposed...so I'm not so worried about going tanning in beds once in a while. I'm never at a beach or anything.
I am curious though... I heard you have to get sunburns to get cancer? Is this true? The only family cancer we have are blood cancers from growing up on military bases covered in agent orange and bomb testing chemicals...my grandparents both died in their sixties from this. But you can't prove that stuff. I figure if that was already exposed to me, then so long cruel world. I am so fatalistic though. My mom always told me you die from the things you don't worry about, and that's at least half true.
I absolutely privilege looking good over health...it doesn't seem wrong to me. I'd be happier to be pretty and shave ten years off my life expectancy. I wouldn't feel the same way for other people as a rule, but for me that seems fair.

you know i think its funny that throughout history men have always found women more attractive through things that are bad for their bodies.
tanning
heels
corsets
etc
its annoying. though i cant really say that i dont enjoy tanning becuase i do, but aside fom looking good, tanning beds are expensive. i refuse to spend my money on them anymore.
as far as fake tans, i dont like them, i can usually spot them a mile away, and tend to look spotchy, or uneven.
ARRGGHHHHH!!!! I love your sig!!

No its not true.
I am stating the obvious here but oh well.
Cancer like any other disease never has been and never will be a disease that fits comfortably into your timetable. It wont conveniently strike you when at a time that suits. Its not going to be a case of living life to the full one minute and the next day you have cancer and then the next night you go to sleep and its all over.
For some people skin cancer means not dying but having to live with ugly cancers and scars from their removal. For others it means failed treatment and a painful lingering death. Either way, a few years of being "pretty" may not count for much.
I think thats spitting in the face somewhat to all of the people who care for and treat terminal cancer patients too.
Ive known people to have life threatening forms of skin cancer who are in their 20s as is the girl in the video, did you even look? /:O
I dont really care what your choice is, but to talk about "shaving 10 years off of your life" as if you know exactly what sort of life your going to have in your imaginary lifespan is totally ridiculous.
Is life really that worthless to you that vanity is more important than living?

I'm sorry and I didn't mean to sound flippant about cancer.
I was trying to emphasize my particular and subjective viewpoint. I know it doesn't just kill you when you're older, and that it can kill me next week for all I know. I just, honest to god, don't care about my own life or health to that extent.
Yes I saw the video. When I said "I wouldn't feel the same way for other people..." I was trying specifically to state that I don't think life ought to be worthless for everyone. Mine just feels that way to me. And not worthless, but not so great that I would like to live it any old way at all. Certain ways to live really do seem worse than death to me. But I know it's a controversial way to look at things, and offensive to some...I'll try not to throw this down anyone's throat.
For the record, I'm very J.S. Mill about these things. Our lives are our own...people need to be protected from hurt by other people, but a person should have the freedom to do to herself as she pleases.
I was talking about averages when I said "shave ten years". I said this because skin cancer is a RISK associated with tanning, just like lung cancer is a risk associated with smoking. It's not like you're swallowing rat poison and guaranteeing you'll die. Maybe you're playing russian roulette with your life in a way offensive to others...but it's still a gamble. That's why doctors talk about life expectancy like "smoking will take on average 5 years off your life" (and actually, most smokers statistically guess that it is even riskier than that)...because some will live until 70 and others might die at forty. You're gambling, so they talk about it like horse racing. I get that! I was trying to say that...given that I don't have fair skin and I don't tan outside just about ever, I don't think twice a week in a 10min tanning bed is a huge, insane risk. But you're right, I'm not a doctor, just saying...trying to be honest about how I see. I didn't mean to offend other people.

Wow, so right Aussie. Took the words right outta my mouth.
I bolded the interesting part. Many ladies in here are talking about how basically " Well at least I'll be beautiful for a long while" and even Britt commented "Well, I don't want to grow old anyways" (not picking on your brit, just an example).
Ladies:
The bolded part of the sentence disproves that you will "at least be pretty" and the fact that skin cancer doesn't always kill, but can drag on tells you that you may very well grow old IN AGONY.
I can't stop y'all that want to tan. I'm just worried. And no Britt, before you come in and tell me yet again that people can do whatever they want, it's their right, yes I know. Me being worried is not the same as trying to tell them what to do.

The thing is..everyone who tans KNOWS it can cause cancer. There is no need to continuously shove it down our throat. If I could fake tan I would, but i cant. And as long as my income depends greatly on my looks I dont have a choice. I do NOT look good pale..I cant rock that look. So this is my only option right now.
My mother had to have skin cancer cut out of her face in her 50's and she wasnt even a sunbather...so yes I've seen it and yes, I accept that it will likely happen to me.
Many of us do things that are considered risky or dangerous to look better...up to and including having a Dr slice us open and shove foreign bodies into us. So before you bash someone for putting vanity before health....take a hard look at your own body and how you got it.
The whole anti-tanning thing in the past few days has just really irritated me. We KNOW. No need for multiple thread telling us how we are going to be horribly disfigured and then die.

THANK YOU. my mom is super careful when it comes to the sun too and she still has to get it cut out of her face and arms. even though she has ALWAYS been careful and used sunscreen. i accepted it, too. if it can happen if you take every precaution and it happens anyway, then yes, at least i will be happy with my tan now. it might lower my chances to stop tanning, but the chance is still there.
and brunettegoddess.. ya might not have been picking on me with that one comment, but saying "oh dont come back and tell me you can do what you want".. dont tell me what i can and cant say. are we having a war in *every* thread these days? i dont think i responded to you in this thread at ALL. so chill the f out.

Yes I know tanning is bad for me, yes I know the risks. Im not stupid, I can read.
Just because everyone doesn't want to follow in everyone elses footsteps doesn't make us stupid.
Yes I tan, yes I have a shitty unhealthy diet, yes I work 6 - 7 days a week 52 weeks of the year, no I don't go to a gym and yes I smoke.
Will I die at a young age? More then likely. Do I care? Nope, not really.

Personally I could give a shit if other girls go tanning or not. Everyone knows it's bad for you and every one can make their own choice about it. I choose not to, because i have a history of skin cancer in my family, and every now and then girls bother me about my choice NOT to go. I've actually had girls try to tell me that tanning DOESN"T really cause skin cancer, which is ridiculous. This really gets on my nerves because I don't bother anybody else about their choice to go.

The concerned ones in here never said we were perfect. You know what? You have to expect that people are going to give you shit for doing something harmful WHEN THEY CARE DAMMIT! Don't like it, tune them out. But there's always going to be people caring and being vocal.

Basically all we're saying is, we know tanning is bad for you but some of us either are allergic to or cant use spray on tan. And we look like shit pale so we choose to tan. There is no need to keep telling us we're evil and shoving shit we already know down our throats.

That's this thread.
It is pretty much how it looks to me as well. It went nearly the same in the natural boobs topic too.
Maybe some don't realize it but to someone just barely past newbie stage like me, it seems like it's a big a$$ taboo around here to not be into doing fake stuff to the body. It doesn't seem to matter if it's for health or personal preference reasons either. It's like natural is just not.. well good enough or something :-\
What I am seeing when the subject of being natural about this or that phyiscal aspect comes up is that those who support or even just prefer it get called haters. This topic shows me that it doesn't appear to matter even if they support it actual health concerns either. I don't know if it's always been this way here or if this is a new thing but it sure makes me think WTF?

I never started any debate about whether tans look good or told anyone they shouldn't.The only reason I wrote the title as "stop using sunbeds girls" was coz I couldnt think of anything else to name it and it seemed cautionary and to fit with the video.
I couldn't give 2 shits whether you all tan or not TBH. I used to I dont giva fuck.
I do find it sad that only a handful of people commented on the video and the rest turned it into the superficial.
I didnt put this in BB, i put it in the lounge because I meant it to be about this particular girl in the video but it got moved to BB.
Why does every thread turn into a fight?

What I am seeing when the subject of being natural about this or that phyiscal aspect comes up is that those who support or even just prefer it get called haters. This topic shows me that it doesn't appear to matter even if they support it actual health concerns either. I don't know if it's always been this way here or if this is a new thing but it sure makes me think WTF?
Nobody is calling anyone a hater for preferring natural. We are just annoyed at being told, after we said thanks, we know, for many pages and spin off threads..how horrible a decision this is. Even though many people drink,smoke and have undergone elective surgery to look better...
The point isnt Fuck you for saying anything...I dont think anyone said that.
The point is..thanks for the warning..I know its bad...now stop telling me.

If you say so. I just thought maybe people might like to know that it's coming across another way too. Just in case anyone cared.

I dont think anyone meant for it to come off that way. It just turned quickly from an informative thread to pages of scolding. THAT'S when tempers flaired.
I think we're done now though..lets discuss something else.
Sooooo.....read any good books lately?
