What a Mess!!!



As I mentioned briefly last week, I thought it would be a really good idea to use some fake tan on my lily-white legs - just in case I decided to get them out at the weekend.
What a disaster! The spray on, non rub, instant dry, non streaky stuff made my legs look patchy, streaky and slightly orange! Not the best look for shorts! So, I ended up in long trousers all weekend in the 25 degree heat!

I have a feeling that the Vintage Photo Distress Ink would have done a much better job - especially when using the blending tool - at least my legs would then match my fingers!!
I have sent the attached photo to Tim to enter his "how do you distress" competition to suggest this idea - I wonder if the next ink will be called "Fake Tan"?

  1. hahaha I have only used fake tan once, years ago with the same result. If I could bear to strip off in front of some skinny schooleaver with more bling than a rapper then i would go for a spray tan.....instead i shall just stay lily white, aftr all it has taken me 40 years to cultivate this death warmed up look!
