Sorry, Ms. Raven, I do not accept this from you. There is nothing about you that is lazy!! :)

I'd say you're just like the rest of us: too BUSY to bother!! :p

Namaste,

LOL, LB... maybe I just yearn to be lazy...

Reporting on my results...

So, I thought I would use the bottled stuff to even things out, so I can maybe attempt to wear a swimsuit sometime this lifetime. Bought the Neutrogena gradual-schmadual lotion.
First night: applied only to the untanned portions of my upper legs and belly.
Second morning: realized that I completely missed the whole, ummm, bikini area from the an inch at the top of my legs all the way around :o Second night: noticed that, although blending in better, there was still a noticeable difference in colors between real and fake. I'll do another coat, but this time, do the whole leg.
Third morning: front was looking pretty good, until I turned sideways and saw that I completely missed the sides and backs of my legs - huge vertical stripe, which, trust me here, looks a whole lot worse than the original horizontal stripe from the bike shorts.
Third evening: noticed blotches on the tops of my feet and toes, where I apparently dripped lotion.

I've given up. If the risk of skin cancer wasn't there, I would seriously consider a tanning bed with only my arm and leg warmers on.

Heading to the zoo to join the zebras....

Thanks for the update-and the giggle! :p

I'm with you Audio - I was trying to even out my hands but the colours will Never match and the more I tried to at least make my hands darker, the more unlike the rest of me they looked. I"m just gonna live with the 2 dark glove patches on the backs of my hands, the little tan dots from the crochet holes, the lines across the backs of all my fingers and wrists! :o

BA HAHAHA hahaha HAHA.........I am getting flashbacks from my QT days!!!! I am so glad to know I am not the only one out there concerned with funny looking lines...SO concerned I color myself silly with various shades of orange! :p

You'd think I was trying to match my mtbike...it's orange :o
