Since it's BigWaveBetty's Birthday I get to start the thread!!!
If you don't want to look fish belly white this summer here are some self tanning recommendations. Self Tanners work really well now and you don't end up looking like a giant carrot like we did when we used QT in High School.
Looks like John still has a couple of old cases of QT in his basement.

HA! So now you give me the list of desired products.
I heard a recommendation for a Neurtrgena product. So I bought this "Build a Tan" in plastic bottle with a pump in the lid. It was a lotion.
I put it on my legs and thought I'd done a pretty good job of evening out everything.
The next morning I awoke with a orangish brown mark on the back of my heel.
I needed to go out and had planned on wearing capris with some little sling back heels. I used navy blue and a green eye liners and smudged around the spot and made it look like a bruise!
I also have the Neurtrogena Foam, but haven't built up the nerve to use it yet. Especailly after my last experience. It was QT all the way.
I may revert to wearing long pants all summer long to avoid this problem again.

I have been using L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Towlettes and they work really well.
The key is to exfoliate before you apply and watch out for the elbows, knees, ankles and heels. I am amazed that I have been able to achieve a realistic looking tan.

Lancome's Soleil Flash Bronzer....is the best.
I've used it for a few years....it's great for legs.

The only spot where I had any problem was the back of my right heel.
I knew all the rules about body prep and followed them closely.

Get a powder bronzer to cover spots you missed. It comes in very handy.

I use Coppertone Sunless for face and it works great
I tried the Coppertone for Body but found it can streak if your not careful

I use the L'Oreal bronze lotion to even out my swimming pool tan. That stuff is great, and it's really cheap compared to dept. store products. Instant color, it lasts a long time, and I have never had a problem with uneven tone or streaks. I also use it at the beginning of the season when I am fish belly white, and it looks real.
Love it, love it. Never used anything that worked as well or looked as real, no matter how much I spent.

What?! You mean fish belly white isn't a good look for summer? Darn it, I never have any trouble achieving it, either. In fact, I'm already there. Actually, I'm starting to get golfer's tan - one tan hand, one white hand. Tres chic.
More on Tom "I'm not gay, really! (NTTAWWT)" Cruise:
TINA Fey and Amy Poehler co-anchors of "Weekend Update" on "Saturday Night Live" didn't pull any punches at the Robin Hood Foundation gala the other night, performing for the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Diane Sawyer, Whoopi Goldberg and Jay-Z. Fey, making fun of Tom Cruise over his recent "Oprah" appearance, high-fived and thrust her fist in the air, saying, "I love this woman! This woman is so hot! She's a woman!" She finished by slapping herself and saying, "Oh, my God, I'm so gay." Judging by the uproarious laughter, although Middle America might be buying Cruise's romance with Katie Holmes, the high-rollers who raised $30 million for Robin Hood are more skeptical. (Page Six)
Words escape me:

On your recommendation I just picked up the L'Oreal Sublime Bronze lotion. I will test that out this week. I like looking human-colored. I like that it has an SPF of 15. I use 45, but the 15 helps if I forget to slather on my sunscreen.

Fish belly white is my preferred look for fall and winter, but spring and summer I actually make an effort to not blind people with the glare off of my body.

I hope you are not disappointed. I can't say enough about it. Last year I used Neutrogena sunless tanning for a while, before I found the L'Oreal lotion. I have a pool and I garden a lot. If I put the Neutrogena junk on, any time water touched it it would streak. Pitiful crap.

And I've tried'em. But even the ones that come highly recommended turn strange colors when they come in contact with my skin. And I follow the directions. Oh, well. Mr. Mew loves my pale, pasty hide just the way it is. I'm blessed :)
