tanning

When a business shuts its doors, there is usually a reason.  So when Tropical Tans on Western closed without a trace, questions are beginning to arise.

They should’ve known when they asked Patricia ‘Tan Mom’ Krentcil to do a show called “Hot Mess” that things were going to get crazy. Krencil clearly took the name of the show to heart, and got kicked out of her own roast for being so drunk that she couldn’t even sit through a drag queen variety show.

Betsy Ann Brashear, a 24-year-old Oklahoma woman, was thrown in jail after she seduced a 15-year-old boy in a tanning booth while his mother worked out in the gym.

Various medical studies have found that tanning, whether it be done under natural or artificial light, can greatly increase your risk of skin cancer. If anyone’s a prime example of that, it’d be Patricia Krentcil. Despite this blatant fact, a new survey from the American Academy of Dermatology has found that younger people, in particular, are still embracing tanning.

It’s not uncommon for some teens to sign abstinence pledges or pledges vowing not to drink and drive. But at one high school school in Massachusetts, students are promising to abstain from something else entirely: tanning beds.

‘Tanning mom’ Patricia Krentcil is running out of places to burn herself to a crisp. According to a report on TMZ, the 44-year-old mother, who allegedly allowed her young daughter to use a tanning bed, has been banned from salons near her Nutley, New Jersey, home. What’s a tanning-addicted mom to do?

Jay-Z has a famous fan in New Jersey and it’s the Tanning Mom. The overly-crisp woman, legally known as Patricia Krentcil, came under fire and became a part of the national conversation a few days ago for allegedly taking her daughter to a tanning booth with her. Now she was caught on film rocking out to the Hova’s ‘Young Forever.’

Despite the well-known skin cancer risks associated with indoor tanning, a new study at a midwestern university showed 93 percent of the young women there used tanning beds within the past year, with a fifth doing so 50 times or more.

In a landmark new law, the state of California has prohibited all children under 14 from using tanning beds. State residents between the ages of 14 and 18 will only be allowed to tan under artificial light if they provide proof of parental consent.
