Mom pays $1,300 for fourth-grader's tan
She wanted her to look like Lindsay Lohan for her school pictures.


"Y'know, I don't really want to do this."

"Well, you need to do this. It's for your pictures. Let's go."

3. And the kid looked a lot cuter before they sprayed that gunk on her.
That Mom needs a time-out. That poor kid.

5. The Mom and Kid need some help.
The kid should play outside and just get a natural tan.

7. Mom evidently has way to much time and money on her hands.
I'd be willing to take some of that extra cash that's plaguing her. }(

9. OMG - she was so pretty before the fake tan
now she's orange. She could go to school as a little pumpkin. Or just Lindsay Lohan I suppose. That works too.

16. and what a lovely shade of orange it was too. Lindsay would be so proud,

14. I saw that last night.
And the crawler at the bottom of the page about Lohan being arrested and having cocaine was running all the while mom was doling out the cash so her kid could look like Lohan. It was one of those moments that make you hang your head and ask what they were thinking.

The other thing that bothers me about this, is that those spray tans can be bad for your respiratory system. Imagine how it could impact a child's still growing system. I think it's irresponsible parenting.

Just my .02

15. If she wants to look like Lindsay Lohan,
drink booze, arguably snort some coke, wait 20 minutes, and that cross-eyed deer-in-the-headlights horny look will surely indeed come to the forefront.

Note to mommy - Lindsay, sweet widdle Lindsay, is NOT a role model for our country's (or the world's) youth.

18. My former coworker's spray tan was a lot cheaper
She spray tanned because she had the disease that left some patches of skin unpigmented. Since she was white, they were only mildly noticeable when she got no sun exposure. When she got a naturual tan, they became very noticeable. She elected to spray tan every year, which must have been fairly cheap because she did not make very much money.
I could not play the video for some reason so perhaps I am missing something as to why it was so expensive.

23. I think it's cheaper here too
Since the guy doing the selling kept talking about what Lindsey Lohan has done, I'm guessing it's the clientele and location, not the product, that makes it so expensive. :shrug:

19. I am going to cry.
However, I don't, really don't, truly DO NOT believe that that was real. I firmly believe that was 100% scripted.

But I'm still going to cry.
