Oops, I Offended You?


I have an occasional issue of saying things that tick people off. 
Sometimes I do it by accident,
sometimes--I feel-- they asked for it.

It happened again today.


Let's introduce today's victim.
She is a brunette who wants to color her hair.
While discussing this,
I happened to notice her fake and bake tan,
so clearly, I had to say something.

Me: "I'm sure it will look lovely. You spray tan, right?!"
Victim: "No, I go in the tanning beds actually."
Me: "Boo. How unfortunate."

Then she made the mistake...
she asked why.

So, I told her.
And there was silence...

I know, I know.
It's none of my business what this stranger does to her skin
--or how old I think it makes her look--
and I promise,
I would have left it alone had she not asked that question,
"Why?"

But she asked.

And you know I'm going to tell.

Protect the skin you're in!


 
^Besides the health issue,
who really thinks this is a good look?
Barf.

I'll try to behave...
tomorrow.

Live in Roanoke

The interview that I participated in
yesterday with our local 
WSLS Channel 10
was posted on their website tonight
after it aired on the 6 pm and 7 pm news!

Please watch and let me know what you think!



My favorite parts from the interview:

1) There was a sun safety commercial on before my part.
2) I realized how true it is: I am going to be a cancer patient forever...
All because I wanted a tan...
a tan that fades.
3) Lindsey said the interview caused her to think differently
about sunbathing and the need for a dermatologist.
4) Statistics were shared.

The shirts that were sold as a benefit in April 2011

 Again, I owe Lindsey Ward of WSLS a huge thank you for allowing  me to share my story.
Lindsey and the awesome cameraman  (whose name I am forgetting--Mike? Mark? I'm sorry! I thought you were awesome!)
You both rock!
