feeling tanned

i am searching for the perfect tan... that golden brown glow on your face that would look so good with your fashion 21 bronzer that you purchased almost a year ago. haha! last monday was a pathetic attempt to get a tan. standing topless on the front lawn, dripping wet from the chest up, with conditioner on your hair at 4:45 pm will get you nowhere near the word, "tanned"... so, the words "tanning bed" come to mind, in the manner of a scrolling marquee, like those that you see in most pinoyster, myspace, and downelink accounts... but apparently, not even belo medical group has a tanning bed. alternatives? the airbrush tanning in belo's ortigas branch at 18 hundred bucks a pop. you think, mid-way do-able and steep for a tan that may only last for a week. i've read about that kind of sun-less tanning online, and with my regimen, chances are, that tan will be no more in less than 4 days. so what do we do? get that f*ckin' tan the old fashioned way... and while the threats of skin cancer, premature skin aging, and photo damage flash with bright neon lights in my mind... i say out loud, "tomorrow, i'm gonna bake myself in the sun". acquire a longer lasting tan in the comforts of your own home... with free skin complications at no extra cost. bright idea, jason... very bright...
