Retail price for a tanning bed is 35K.

She got hers on her own dime from a tanning place that had over bought for the market.

I have not seen the figures yet but I am betting it is no where near full retail cost including installation.

Next I guess we will hear about the hot tub if they have one.

And even if she only used it because she thought it made her
look kind of … nice,
that would be OK too?
I say yes, that would be OK too.

She lives in Alaska. There is little sun there for most of the year. She also has young children who need UV exposure to generate vitamin D and other vital things in the body. Sunlamps were very common in Alaska but these days people are going more to the tanning beds to get their dose of artificial sunlight. It prevents complications of vitamin D deficiency and keeps other things in the body properly regulated.

Sheeesh AJ! Where have you been?

Tanning beds are politically incorrect,
not because using them increases yer “carbon footprint” but because
having a suntan at all is now politically incorrect. Heck, first a suntan
and then a cigarette and then even a bottle of wine. No. This won’t do.

Having a suntan means you are obsessed by vanity, don’t care
about what medical costs may burden the “system” if you get a melanoma,
and shows you just don’t care about the third world.

Well, I don’t get it, but they seem very serious about it.
An aside: I had a summer vacation in the south of France where
everybody has the deepest, darkest, sultry, sexy suntan you could
imagine.

There is some value yet in the French shrug.

What many people may not realize is that tanning beds are used as Light Therapy in the treatment of SAD ( Seasonal Affected Disorder ). Up in New England we get a touch of SAD due to the short winter daysâ€¦ In Alaska it must be more pronounced and a tanning bed could be used to keep the family feeling good. Also itâ€™s cheaper than a family winter vacation to BVI.

And a tanning bed costs, what, $1500? $2000?

Or maybe the media now wants to push the “vanity” meme: OMG WTF look how much she spends on herself LOL!!!!1!!11!!!

This is so stupid that now I’m wondering if some people watch the news in the way that some people watch bad movies — by mocking what the people on the screen are saying and doing.
