Based on what she has told me, I would NEVER use a tanning bed!!! Not only is there the risk of skin cancer, but also the problem of wrinkling.

so true! here in so. cal., everyone knows someone who has/had skin cancer from sun exposure or tanning. it is no joke. a family friend lost her whole nose! now the poor lady has to wear a prosthetic nose, because of years of sun exposure. trust me, you are better off dancing with pale skin than a prosthetic nose.
these comments happen to all us at some point. one night, while working at a restaurant, the manager and a waiter were giggling abt. me. i demanded to know what was so funny. they said my legs are so pale, they thought i was wearing tights. so, i just smiled and said "thank you". what ever. i wonder how they would like it if someone laughed at their skin color?
nasty, jealous girls will say anything to make themselves feel better. and yes, if that was the best they could come up with, you must have done a great show.
