Amanda Seyfried
Anne Hathaway
Naomi Watts
Jennifer Lawrence (My favorite! She's so REAL!)
Even Jennifer Aniston looked far less tan than she normally does:
The women looked fabulous and healthy, don't you agree?!

Red Carpet Paleness
Sometimes I feel like we need to defend our pale skin. I explain reasons for why it's far prettier than the tan glow that so many desire. (Cough No-Tan-Is-A-Healthy-Tan!) However, reading the celebrity magazines about the Oscars this week made me realize that Hollywood is noticing how beautiful pale really is!

Celebrities, Social Media & Both Sides of Tanning
Thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and online blogs, we tend to learn more about our favorite celebrities than any US Weekly magazine could ever hope to tell us. The best part? We learn a lot of things from the celebrities themselves!
Case in point...
It appears as though Miranda feels she needs to be tan in order to be tour ready. I fully believe that Miranda Lambert was not surprised at the 1,086 people to comment on one of her latest posts on Facebook. However, I doubt that she expected that out of those 1,086 people, the majority of them explained to Miranda why she should stay clear of the coffin-like beds. Although she hasn't responded, I'm hoping she at least saw one of the many comments and will consider the damage she's doing to herself. At the very least, I hope her fans who believe tanning is safe saw the many comments!
On the flip side...
Last night I was browsing my Facebook feed and saw a post from my favorite author Emily Giffin. Did you read Something Borrowed, Something Blue, or Heart of the Matter? She's a great author! If you follow her on Facebook and Twitter, you know how hilarious she is as well. What caught my attention last night was her tan so I decided to post on her page and ask if she tans or uses spray tans. I was pleasantly surprised--and super excited--to see that she actually responded to my question!

My favorite author only spray tans.
She doesn't even tan in the sunshine without sunscreen!
WOO HOO
Oh, and she thinks our awareness campaign is great:
....and then my day was complete.
My favorite author tweeted me, retweeted me and responded to my Facebook question!
EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeKKKKKK!!! (Yes, I give you permission to make fun of me now.)
Anyway, in the last few days I have seen 2 celebrities take totally different stands on tanning.
I think I know which side I'm on!

Tanning is the New Trashy?
Mr. Spots and I were out enjoying an adult beverage and listening to a local band Friday night when he made the offhand comment that he could almost smell the burned skin in the bar. There were that many tan females who had worked hard on baking their flesh. Like in any bar scene, there was a mix of people. You had your couples enjoying a night on the town, your girls wanting to find Mr. Right (or right now?), and you have your cool guys wanting to be Mr. Right (Now). Looking around the room, the tannest chicks were also the girls who were trying the hardest to be noticed. I'm talking booty shorts, backless shirts, and F.M. shoes. (I will not translate that if you are unaware of the terminology.) It made it hard for me to relax because I kept judging their skin and becoming angry. Why is it "hot" for them to look like Snooki before pregnancy whereas because of embracing my natural skin tone, I get asked, "Have you been outside lately?" Do people really believe the Tan Mom appearance actually looks good? (This is not an exaggeration. Ask Mr. Spots.)
Is tan skin really considered to be the most beautiful even today or is the fake tan becoming a less than classy accessory?
Let me compare a few famous faces.

I could make this list last forever; however, I think my point has been made. Being tan used to indicate wealth and class. I am beginning to wonder if that has already changed. Is the fake & bake tan slowly going out of style?
Health reasons aside, is being tan really that beautiful compared to our natural glow?
