L.A. Mom Proves Money's No Object When You've Got a Young Daughter & An Appointment at "Sunset Tan"

Posted by Alisyn

Before you watch this, ask yourself: how much would you pay for a quick, healthy-looking, pseudo-sun-kissed tan from L.A.'s most successful tanning salon? 

Now take that number and multiply it by a thousand... You're still nowhere near what the nut you're about to roll your eyes at recently paid to have her unwilling, grade school-aged daughter (what is she, 8?  9?) spray-tanned for her class picture.  E!'sl new reality show, Sunset Tan, caught the twosome on tape, and honestly, it made me feel a little sick.  When they spray painted her little neck, I had to turn away.  When the mother told the airbrush operator to "pay special attention to her cheekbones!!" I had to turn it off. 

 It's not just the thought of paying $1300 (that's one thousand, three hundred dollars) to have a child spray-painted the color of a human Orange Julius that has me reeling -  I can't even deal with the fact that a grown woman allowed - no, encouraged! - her own daughter to emulate the looks of a coked-out, tore-up mess like LiLo.  It's enough to boggle the mind... it's... it's so... L.A.

"You want to look like Lindsay Lohan, don't you?...."

Oh, the horror.  The horror.  Jump here to see it for yourself.

I saw this episode two weeks ago. I am all for MY spray tan (at $20) but not for a young child. Did you happen to notice that the daughter also went into a tanning bed before being sprayed?

Why in the hell was it $1300?? I missed that part.

Sad.
