Lobsters and Earthquakes

This weekend was a bit of an odd one. Went out on Friday night as per usually and got a bit squiffy. The problem is when you’re a bit worse for wear is that your memory gets a bit hazy. (well my memory does) Hence on Saturday I got a little bit of a surprise that we were going shopping for bikini’s, otherwise I might have brought money or means of getting money to the shops with me. One was not popular when we got to the till. On top of this, Shizuka and I went to a Tanning shop (salon thing). I am ghostly pale at the best of times and I thought it would be a good idea to get to colour to my skin so I don’t scare the natives. Shizuka had been before and used a machine for 30 minutes. So I thought that 20mins would be safe for me. But, the guy in the salon showed us to some different machines, more powerful machines as it turns out, and 20 mins later my back and bum were already lobster red. Shizuka came off even worse as she was under for 30mins. Needless to say over the next two days things didn’t improve and we spend many an hour covering ourselves in various products (direct from the fridge) in an attempt to ease the pain – brave Shizuka still went to work though.
No pictures!

i cant believe you went to a tanning salon! that shit is DANGEROUS! go fake. skin cancer my friend!

Glen-san said...

you can get fake skin cancer? that seems a bit insensitive

Gareth said...

I agree Kittykat, I don't like sunbeds or lying in the sun. My intention was just to go two or three times just to get back to white. I have tried a spray tan and tanning sprays and creams too, but because I am so white they don't look right - and I always get orange hands and feet!

... but that's better than a burnt bum (I deleted my last comment because of an embarrassing spelling mistake :-)
