My mother woke me up at 9.50 this morning....
If I wanted to go with her to the tanningstudio...so a wake as i was i just said yes and
30 minutes later i was in a tanningstudio..
So i went into a tanningbooth and i got tanned...
I stayed in there for 16 minutes.. OMG was it hot.. :S :S

So now i am all tanned and the sun is shining also
This alle made me think of Lin Shaye who played in There's Something about Mary..
OMG she was über Tanned

But it also made me worried, cause tanning stimulates Cancer.. so..
A woman wrote to a dokter :
Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,
My daughter and her friends want to go to a tanning salon to get a head start on their summer tans. Should they wear sunscreen while on the tanning bed?
Signed,
Wondering
And the answer was:
Dear Wondering,
According to indoor tanning salons, UV (ultraviolet) light exposure time is controlled when tanning indoors, so sunscreen lotions are not needed.
However, if your daughter and her friends are under the age of 18, then it is best to avoid tanning beds because of the risk of developing skin cancer.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued warnings about the dangers of tanning beds and skin cancer, especially for young people (www.who.int). The American Academy of Dermatology (www.aad.org) endorses the WHO recommendation to restrict tanning bed use.
UV light from the sun or other from other forms of ultraviolet radiation is the primary cause of skin cancer. In addition, excessive UV exposure can damage the eyes, promote skin aging, and harm the immune system.
See the American Cancer Society website at www.cancer.org for more information.
so since I am only 17......
