Spray Tanned

I got my first ever spray tan today, and it was ridiculously adventurous. Things I've learned from fake basting:

1) Don't decide to do this spur-of-the-moment like I did. You can never exfoliate enough.
2) Don't be afraid to strip down in the buff. Yeah, you're in 7-foot high stall, but it still feels like public nudity, which should satisfy any urge you had to streak the Quad in college.
3) Put on that shower cap. It's just not worth it to mess with $200 highlights.
4) When you position yourself in the spray stall, make sure you're emotionally prepared to hit the start button. For some reason, the Automated countdown of "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" sure makes you feel like you're going to blast off.
5) Hold your breath and close your eyes. The former is especially important, so you don't inhale gasps of bottled sunlight and proceed to have whooping cough like I did.
6) Do a little dance as the spray's being applied. Kinda like you're hoola-hooping. This will assure an even tone, as well as amuse you as you imagine how ridiculous you look.
7) Wear loose clothes, so that when you're done - your low-rise relaxed fit don't become skinny jeans.
8) Afterwards, eat the complimentary York Peppermint Pattie they leave for you (random!!!).
9) Go back again - because it leaves you sunkist and dewy!
