Cooking myself in the name of beauty

Went for my first visit to the solarium today.

I know, I know....their not the safest thing in the world but my birthday is only 2 weeks away and I am waaaay too white to use fake tan without getting patchiness.

Anyhow, that's how I found myself standing half naked in an upright coffin with a towel covering my face (BHA cream makes my facial skin sensitive to UV light).

The lady suggested that 6 minutes would be the right amount of time for someone as pale as me. Yep that's how she put it.....great.

So, there I'm standing, towel over my face, knickers pulled up my ass (g-string probably would have been a good idea) and a 'youthful' beat playing very loudly through the speakers. I felt like a bloody idiot. After what felt like forever the music stopped and the fans started up, signalling the end of the session.

A well timed 'ding!' probably would have been more appropriate.
