nope!! I've only fake baked like twice!

Yep lots of times!!!!

@chopsuey119: I actually have sold or donated most of them. I have kept 3 of them, which I could actually wear again (even though they all thought that of course). At one point I did have 19 hanging in the closet. It was bananas!

I wore the same dress in 3 separate weddings but in different colors. That situation always bothered me a bit lol.

@chopsuey119: 27 dresses. All of my friends giggled when it came out.

I've never gotten any sort of artificial tan. I wear lots of sunscreen, do normally I don't even get regular tans.

My friends all got married in Sept/Oct and had strapless dresses for our bridesmaid dresses, so I had plenty of spray tans to cover up my big ugly suntan lines!

Yes. Both bed and spray.. Ugh, it makes me sad to think about what torture it will do to my skin in the future (the bed tanning, that is).. I just heard a recent statistic that fake baking makes you 90% more susceptible to skin cancer (that may not be the exact percent, but I remember it being an astounding number).

I used to go to the tanning bed before I knew better! I don't anymore. I have gotten several spray tans though. I love them! If you learn how to prep your skin and then take care of it during, they can last a while and (in my experience) look natural! If I had the money, I would have one constantly!

I had it done one time. I think it looked ok, I don't really remember. I'm not self conscious about being fair skinned anymore, so tanning isn't something I spend money on.

I've never done a spray tan, but have always been curious. The fear of being streaky and orange always makes me back out at the last minute...

I used to fake and bake all the time, then I switched to spray tans after getting a mole removed. I was never streaky or orange! But there are tricks you have to implement to make it look good--i.e. keep your skin moisturized and exfoliated, use primer stuff beforehand, make sure to rub the excess spray off and pay special attention to your finger and toe crotches or they will be orange/brown. Also, keep in mind that it does rub off on light colored clothing! And if you get a good pedicure, your tan will rub off from the knee down.
