Fake tan taunts are racist

[eots]

RUGBY ace Gavin Henson has branded people racists for making fun of his orange fake tan.

The sports star, 28, says he gets offended when he is teased about the colour of his skin.

In an Ali G-style rage he said: “I think it’s kind of racist. It could be my natural skin colour and they’re having a go at my skin colour. Personally, I don’t think I look orange.

now to blend threads....mud that was funny about vampires not knowing....so you got repped....not cause you repped me before but cause you were funny and made me laugh....with my life...i need to laugh....

but to tanning...its a very addictive thing...i know...i did it for perhaps...20 years hard core...8 hours of sun a day...no less and normally alot more....if i was not in the sun...i was under sun lamps...i sleep under a sun lamp....(no i was not crazy...at that time it was what was done for the skin condition i have)
i managed a tanning bed salon at one time ...many years ago...they started removing stuff when i was in my mid 20s...at first it was just a spot on the leg..etc...then it became multiple removals from the face....
nothing says...this sucks like having basal cell removed from the nose with deep freezing...the next day you wake up with the tissue inside swelled to the outside..it looks like a rotten piece of cauliflower has been glued to your nose. now how attractive is that?

While I was stationed in Somalia I tanned every other day. Then when I got back stateside I was so addicted to tanning and the sun here in the states just couldn't do the job...I started using tanning beds.

I stopped after a year of tanning about once every other week.

The only permanent damage I have now is my face because at work I spend a great deal of time on the roofs of buildings. I guess if I took better care of my skin this wouldn't be a problem. Not long ago I looked like I was in my twenties when I was 40. Now I think I look....well shit...who cares what I look like. That would be overly obsessive.
