id rather look like that than pale and dead

Me too! But, when I am pale, I actually DO look dead. Some people look great pale. Me? Not so much. I get the world's worst purple circles under my eyes -- and even around my mouth! -- if I am not tan. It's sad I rotate self tanner with the tanning bed. I'll do self tanner for six to eight weeks, then the tanning bed for a couple months. Then, back to self tanner. I am on my self tanner kick right now.
