What the holy fuck? I…didn’t realize that was possible.
Oh and school nurses call the cops now because a child comes in with a sun burn?! Wow
Understatement of the year.
I saw her this morning on CNN. Man, what a weirdo.
I want to make a slew of jokes, but this woman is pretty clearly mentally ill. It’s like Body Dimorphism, but focused on tanning and skin, rather than muscle or body fat. Ugh.
She looks like an alien species from a crappy SciFi orginal movie.
You may know her from her indian name: Pemmican
I am confused over the fake tanning comment, which to me implies those silly cremes that turn people orange. That is basically like dye for your skin, it looks cool when you shower and half of your body is tanned and half is not.
But then the story is about tanning beds and her daughter having a sun burn. I almost think it has to be fake tanning with how she looks.
mommy leatherface.
And her husband: Beef Jerky.
You know Hal Briston did a similar thing about 100 years ago 
(And I have no idea why I remembered it, apart from it being a fun thread)
{Edited by twickster to add} This is in reference to the original thread title, which was “OMG what is that.”
I thought this picture (which appears to be from the future) was even more …interesting, with the lipliner. She really does look like an Oompa-Loompa here.
Has she been going to a tanning salon or a smearing-your-whole-body-with-Nutella salon?
Why does the Quizno’s slogan…Mmmmm toasty! keep popping into my head?
Her denying that she took her five year old daughter tanning with her doesn’t have much credence when she looks like that.
I’ve been assaulted by images of this woman for two days now. Today a dermatologists diagnosed her with “tanorexia,” she can’t tell how dark she is. :rolleyes: She said it like it was an actual diagnosed disease.
My wife said she saw the woman being interviewed by a black reporter. I bet that was awkward.

Indian Chief: [speaks Yiddish, then in English] They darker than us! Woof! [/BSq]
There’s something very phony about her new public pictures. I’ve never seen anyone tan that way. Could this all be a clever rouge?
Bad puns aside, bodybuilders do use a phony tan along with sun/tanning booths.
Bravo
It’s probably both tanning and dyed/painted skin. We can’t see her true hair color, but her eyes are light enought hat I doubt her ability to achieve that color naturally.
I fully believe that she let her child into the booth. I’ve known two compulsive tanners. One I wasn’t close to but she was my best friend’s roommate. The other, strangely was the same friend’s boyfriend years after the roommate lady died of skin cancer. The boyfriend is an EMT and still healthy AFAIK, but leathery brown and looks 30 years older than he should.
They were both people who just hated the way they looked, and the further their features faded into the coloring the happier they were. Very sad.
ETA: What is up with her lips int eh first photo? Does she have some sort of blue lipliner tattooed on as well?
