Check out mom's photo

[Chuck Nessa]

I had chills.

[Stereojack]

I just saw this story on TV. This is some sick shit. Does this woman actually think she looks attractive?

[Dan Gould]

There's no way this woman lives to see her five year old graduate from high school. She'll have a hideously ugly skin cancer death.

[Pete C]

She definitely has that bronzed look. Maybe she can pay for her treatments by standing still in the park.

A couple of weeks ago, I was driving back to work from lunch, and there was George Hamilton crossing the street. He was very tan, except in comparison to this woman.

[Jazzmoose]

It's like someone crossed William Macy with George Hamilton...

[BERIGAN]

I saw a clip of her on tv, didn't know what the story was, and at first I thought, what the fuck, she's in blackface? She looked much darker than the photos here! So stupid...

She looks like an old shoe. Child protective services should be seriously considering removing the daughter from her custody.

[Larry Kart]

She's toast.

[RDK]

I tend to believe her (and the salon's) story that she didn't actually have the girl on the tanning bed with her, but even so... Good God, her face!

[tranemonk]

I totally agree. The thing that's really messed up is that SHE doesn't see it as a problem. She must have some kind of psychological disorder. I hope the kid ends up okay...

"People who use tanning indoor tanning beds frequently are 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma," says lead investigator, Jerry Brewer, MD. "The results of this study emphasize the importance of active interventions to decrease risk factors for skin cancer, and in particular, to continue to alert young women that indoor tanning has carcinogenic effects that increase the risk of melanoma." Tanning beds are also associated with squamous cell carcinoma.

Tanning mom Patricia Krentcil, her mood nearly as dark as her deeply bronzed face, charged Thursday that she’s the target of a witch hunt.

“There’s somebody out there my whole life that doesn’t like me because they’re jealous, they’re fat and they’re ugly,” the 44-year-old tanoxeric New Jersey woman told TMZ.com before climbing into her family van.

[tranemonk]

She has lost what little sanity she had... Pathetic.

tanoxeric

Far be it from me to fault any neologism, but I think I'd like "tanorexic" better than "tanoxeric", at least for now.

Google, however, shows it both ways, so...further proof that language moves at the speed of soundlight speedshow.

[Pete C]

I'm a proofreader, but lots of people think they don't need us...

[JSngry]

Can you proof that?

[Jazzmoose]

She must have some kind of psychological disorder.

Ya think?

[.:.impossible]

Oddly, it took a lot of back and forth befor I realized there was a difference between

Tanorexic

Tanoxeric

Stacked, it is obvious. Great word, tanorexic. Perfectly describes this woman.

Maybe she's trying to fit in here.

Outside of the Solomon Islands, there was a brief fad in the 1990s, where already famous personalities like actor Wesley Snipes and former NBA star Dennis Rodman briefly dyed their hair blond.

1990s, eh?

Not to mention the early '50s.
