Always Read the Instructions

Jun 18, 2009 | Filed in Humor | 6 Comments

People have tried many different methods to politely describe my whiteness, and I’ll admit, I’m pretty white. I don’t want skin cancer, I don’t want wrinkles, and I avoid the sun at all costs. I’m a bit of a vampire.

But it does bother me, especially around the summer time. I’ve tried many types of store bought tanners, many of which people rave about, but none of them work on me. They are either streaky, or too orange, and I just don’t care for them at all. I think I’m just so white that they don’t even have any pigment to work with.

Anyway, tonight I finally took the plunge and signed up for VersaSpa treatments. Apparently it’s one of the most popular spray on tanning options. The price for my sessions was a bit high, but I knew they would be. I agreed to a 6 month commitment, which brought the price down a lot. Plus, I also get unlimited regular tanning too.

An employee gave me a brief run-down of the way to do it, and it seemed pretty straight forward to me. There was an instructional poster on the wall to answer all the specific questions, which helps make sure I do absolutely everything right. But did I bother to read it? No, of course not. I just stripped down and hopped in. (Well, I waited until the employee left the room first, of course.)

Hmmm… Apparently when you put the cap over your hair, there are very specific instructions that say to let a little bit of your hairline show. I did not do this. Instead, I pulled the cap over my hair and covered a tiny bit of my forehead too. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about how it turned out.

Laugh if you want. The rest of my body is looking hottt. :P
