A tanning bed doesn’t bother me.

Now, if it had been a stripper pole...

Meanwhile Barack Obama had to go to Hawaii this summer to work on his tan. There are a number of wire photos that clearly show his tanlines (where a short sleeve shirt/open neck) can be seen.

Tanning beds can cost up to $35,000 to install in a home — not including parts, Alaska-based Color Me Tan manager Erin Weise told the Narco News. Weise added, “I don’t think it’s normal for people to have a tanning bed in their house. It’s expensive.”

$35,000???

Reality check.

Since she paid for it with her own money... um... what’s the point of this story?
Keep on rolling, media. Like everything else, I can’t see women reading this headline and thinking there’s anything wrong with it other than the media trying to make some kind of vague issue out of it.

This is the best that the 30 shysters who dropped into Alaska can do?

Sarah Palin installed a tanning bed at the governor's mansion...

Whew! That was close! I thought there was no "smoking gun" to be found! The "reporter" who unearthed this should get at least the Medal of Freedom! Pulitzer maybe?

The left is digging deeper and deeper trying to find or MAKE UP something to sink Palin on.
The left is disgusting.

Alaskan winters and use of lighting was dealt with in one of the Northern Exposure episodes....required viewing before commenting.

Somebody commented that there’s a book called Teaching children with Down Syndrome that advocates such a practice (or something like that). I, obviously, do not care at all. They have 5 months of winter, plus spring and fall. They don’t get much sun. The governor should be lauded for all the things that she does to promote her own health such as running marathons, taking aerobics classes, having and nursing many children, making sure she’s not nutritionally deficient so that she’s better able to take care of her children and her State.

I will be nice here.

People that live in the lower 48 have no idea what its like during the 6 month winters we have here, imagine sunrise at 10;30 am, sunset at 3:30pm and thats for Anchorage, go further north the wan dim daylight hours are even shorter, cross the Arctic Circle just north of Fairbanks and the night is measured in MONTHS.

Without natural sunlight humans get sluggish, eat and sleep a lot, basically humans have a hibernation mode that is dorment, I have no less than three sun lamps I use during the winter in my hot tob room here in Wasilla, its not for getting a tan but so I won’t go into that sleep/eat mode so many Alaskans tend to do during winter. People really put on weight bad here in the winter.

However if a person was planning on visiting a high sunlight area like Hawaii or Florida like most Alaskans do during the dead of winter it can be used to promote a natural tan to prevent painful sunburn.

Its tougher in Alaska and usually more expensive, the mystery state that nobody knows about.

Incidentally hot tub and tanning rooms are very popular here, but having your own is much better than using a bed that someone has sweated on or a tub that had 50 people in it all day long.

Kudos for Sarah in thinking of getting her own, I would too.
