I've got a wedding coming up & I think I may get a spray tan, given that I'm probably going to be bare legged.
My question to those in the know is this, if the wedding is the Saturday, what day is it best to book the tan? Thursday or Friday?

Honestly, never lol I think woman with spray tans look rediculous I always laugh at the sister in law when she has one cus she just loks so odd and sometimes patchy sad When you alter your appearance for cosmetic reasons the change should be subtle so people think you look good but cant quite work out why. When someone I know has a spray tan its bloody obvious and I keep grinning at them.
Look below for spray tan supporters rally
:uhoh:
I agree about sudden changes - I'd stick to a lovely pampering session the night before with a full exfoliate followed by using a good moisturiser with added tanny stuff. I tried it - on my pasty white yukky legs - and it worked very nicely.
I think you've obviously seen some rather bad spray tans then tweeky, because done well, they can look good.
Foxylady, I will be having pampering sessions too, but I'm trying to schedule everything.
they are a bit like false nales. everyone knows they are false the same with a fake tan.
a bad tan can leeve you looking more dredful than looking good.
Ignore the anti spray tan brigade Nola! lol
If it was me I'd have it done on the Friday evening so that it's at it's best on the Sat. On the Friday morning exfoliate and moisturize so that the tan lasts longer. I'd try and get fake bake as it doesn't make you smell of biscuits like some of them do xx

Ta lovely!
I've got to travel down to London for the wedding, so planning is paramount!
ooo smelling of biscuits sounds nice. Custard cream or garibaldi?
More like a bourbon :lol2:
Speaking as a bloke... (I'll get that out of the way first so you can choose to ignore the rest of it)...
Spray tans look absolutely ridiculous, they are cheap, chavvy, classless and entirely unattractive in all respects, (akin to false breasts) they are generally sported by women who believe that an orange basting will somehow make them look attractive whereas the only purpose they serve is to make a woman look as if she is trying to look attractive.
A natural shade (and even if that is pale milk-white legs) will always beat the incandescent glow of a cheap respray on any female, they are easy to spot and unlike a decent imitation Rolex watch (which only the most ardent Jeweller would be able to spot), the whole world will see a woman in a satsuma like body and simply laugh (personally when I see ladies with spray tans I guffaw outwardly and proceed to unashamedly point them out in the street whilst giggling uncontrollably).
They are fake, they look fake, and more importantly everyone knows they are fake - so why do it.
As a closing point... there is no such thing as a good spray tan - the only people who will tell you that there is, are the proprietors of the establishment that offer them and any poor soul that has been sold the idea that they somehow look good, and has got one.
... well that's what I think anyway - but I'm a bloke.
I'm not a fan of orange, but a light tan can look great.
Either way I'm sure you will look gorgeous nola ;)
if you are doing it to look better to others forget it, if it will make you feel better at the wedding then go ahead.
as for advice on the practicalities, sorry hun cant help there.
Send me before and after pics though - or maybe let me come and watch - for purely educational purposes of course :twisted:

Pale and interesting! :thumbup:

Is all very well usually... but I may be wearing a cream dress. That'll make me pale and anaemic looking!
lol
Speaking as a gay bloke.... ;)
I don't think Nola was intending to turn herself into the colour of a Cadbury's Dairy Milk bar overnight smile
I think when people think 'fake tan' they focus on those awful products that were out in the 1980's like 'Sudden Tan' ... that did just that!
Things have progressed a little since then and provided you don't go for the 'four coats please, make me look like Jordan' approach, a bit of a healthy glow looks great I think. But you do get what you pay for and a lot of it is down to the skill of the sprayer.. a bit like car body shop repairers!
Kate looked great at her wedding - just healthy, not gravy browned!
I'd go for DIY and build the tan yourself over a few days.
This link is useful:

Failing that - get one of 'those' showers in your room, pull in a bloke until you're having sex until you nearly pass out (again!) and you'll be glowing for hours after ;)

Are you sure you are spotting ALL the fake tans? Maybe you are only spotting the bad ones. Like a fake orgasm - there's good and bad and you only know you're seeing one when it's bad - or in a restaurant a la When Harry Met Sally. :giggle:

I can only speak regarding the ones that I have actually seen to be fake... if they were that good then as far as I would be concerned they would not be fake, they would be real, and I would not know the difference.
All the fake tans I have seen (those which I know to be fake) look ridiculous.
... that's just my view though, and in the same way that there are people out there who like fake boobs, there will be people who like fake tans.
It is harmless enough at the end of the day and if a woman likes to portray a false and commercialised image in order to convey the message that she is something that she is not, then who exactly am I to say that she shouldn't.
Nola,
Why not go for a trial say the week before that way you get two hampering sessions should you decide you like the look the first time round wink

hamperingsillyresent participle of ham·per
Verb: Hinder or impede the movement or progress of.
Bring your cuffs and chains and you can have as many hampering sessions with me as you like Nola ;)
and some pampering afterwards too.....
Sorry amatuerman couldnt resist that one, its not a dig at you - I just get all twitchy if I leave an obvious joke untold :twisted:
Hamper and pamper away Big F... how's a gal to resist?
Amateurman, that's a good idea.
I've got a staff do coming up so maybe I'll have a trial run then!
Guess my HTC Desire ain't as pedantic about spelling as Moi... lol
.... but not an expert on spray tans.
luckily i do have a very nice natural tan , and i only use sunbeds when a social coming up to make my tan lookin even stronger...lol
brightons nudist beach is my usual place for top ups lol

Nola,
by all means indulge, it's you afterall and what makes you feel better.
only tip/advise we'd offer is to avoid any hot tubs for a little while, as many actually remove fake tans quite quickly leaving you pale (er) again and a brown tan colour in the filters. :sad:

And just in case any of you DIDN'T catch the lovely Kate's wedding pics - here ya go:

She's also a natural blond.... ;) Her Bridesmaid's were done to match and as you will have summised, the wedding was a truly classy affair! :rascal:
They clearly had a lucky escape as the excerpt below if from a local newspaper naming that same salon Kate and her wedding party had used:

A Burnley tanning salon run by a retired farmer has been forced to close after a third woman drowned in its fast-tan trough in less than a week. Sharon Thwaites failed to emerge from Tan-tastic’s sheep dip-style immersion treatment on Monday. Police divers later recovered the 21-year-old’s body from the bottom of the tank.
Bob Bright, proprietor of Tan-tastic, told police he hit on the idea of the tanning trough after a cock-up on his farm saw 200 sheep blacked-up rather than disinfected.
Sharon’s mother Irene said that her daughter will be missed, but they were sure it is ‘how she would have wanted to go’. Sharon is lying in state at her mother’s home so friends and family can visit one last time and comment admiringly on her tan. ‘She looks lovely,’ sobbed Irene. ‘No streaks at all.’

some spray tans can last for a couple of good showers depending on the amount of ex-foliating that is done to stop patchy-ness. my advice is to have the pamper session on the wed and ex-foliate really well with a good apricot body scrub and net body sponge. have the tan done on the wed and shower the excess off on the friday so it looks more natural. this will also have the advantage of (if staying in a hotel the evening before and after the wedding) of not leaving stained bedsheets, as has happened to a friend of ours at a girls birthday night out in manchester. giving the rest of us an excuse to giggle even more at her.
