    There can't be all that much money in the tanning pagent/underwear circuit. How do these girls earn enough to live?

    @anastasia beaverhousen:Wanna taste? The newly selected crown holder will be the face of the world renowned tanning corporation. The winner will receive over $100,000.00 in cash and prizes, which will include a Sunset Tan modeling contract, and a Sea Doo courtesy of Inferno Media.

    Maybe losers/runners up get featured in a Sunset Tan calendar (there are only 40 contestants in this pageant). Or perhaps they just get the opportunity to move on to a shot at Miss Hawaiian Tropic.

    Wait--they look kind of like when you popped one Barbie's head off and put it on another's body. I can't have been the only one that did that. Or maybe they just forgot to blend?

    Despite being a minority, I do understand that all different types of people like to tan (that is to mean that I even know black people who tan so their color is even). However, I need someone to explain, please: (1) Why is this orange-ish color a good look? Is it supposed to be a faux-healthy glow? Is it to keep from being "brown"? (2) Why would you put on foundation that would be listed as "fair" when your skin is orange?

    I seriously don't get this concept.

    @shorty63136: Their face is a different color because unless they're looking in a mirror, they can't see their face. So they spray their orange glaze on, covering only what they can see.

    @shorty63136: I think the idea is that tans are supposed to be "attractive", but the sun causes skin damage, also known as (DUN DUN DUN) wrinkles, and heaven forbid you get wrinkles. People use fake tanner to produce what they hope is a natural tan glow. Unfortunately self tanner does NOT produce a nice tan glow. It turns you orange. As far as people not noticing they are orange, who knows? Perhaps they are color blind.

    @shorty63136: They don't want to be pale, but they ALSO don't want to get skin cancer (or, more likely, they don't want to look old) so they use self-tanner. A little self-tanner gives you that "healthy summer glow" but if you do it too much, you start to look orange. How much is "too much" also depends on your skin tone. I'm so pale that any self-tanner is too much for me. The darker your skin is naturally, the more it can handle. But since the stigma is against "pasty" skin, the lighter you are the more crap you slather on.

    Apparently, Vegas suffers from a horrible meteorological condition wherein the sun is actually BELOW the city, thus making everyone's face a normal human color while their lower bodies get progressively darker on an orange gradient as you go down.

    Tragic, really.
