I didn’t expect Malaysia would ever have an indoor tanning center.
Indoor tanning centers are common in Western countries, where people like tanned skin. But this is Malaysia, a tropical country. Malaysians often prefer to hide inside air-conditioned rooms to escape the searing sun during the hottest hours of the day. Asian women, as we know, traditionally love fair skin. Who would spend money to have their skin tanned? (I believe European women once loved fair skin too, or we wouldn’t have the story of Snow White.)
But I was wrong. Fabulous Tan, a Singapore-based group, has opened a franchised outlet in Malaysia. The center was reported to be doing well, and the owner was already planning to open another branch. Fabulous Tan provides other services such as hair removal and teeth whitening.
According to the owner, majority of her patrons are homosexuals. Do gays like tanned skin? Or are they merely looking for a gathering place?
So, would you try indoor tanning?

This reminds me of Final Destination where one of them were killed in this machine.
ReplyDeleteNo need, I'm already tanned enough under the Kampar sun and heat. Haha.
ReplyDeleteNot for me! I don't want to be too tanned : )
ReplyDeleteI prefer natural tan. And that's why I love beaches! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, guys should have some tan... fair-skinned guys look feminine IMO.
ReplyDeleteNo need lah. I think we in Asia got plenty of sun to be tanned here :)
ReplyDeleteNo I don't want to be tanned! LOL! They should have Fabulous Fairness haha..
ReplyDeleteA human toaster comes to mind. As such, I suppose over-toasting can also result. Oops! Burnt (human) toast!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it also comes with Vit D like what we get from the sun. Nothing like doing it the natural way.
Homo tends to be more particular on their appearance I guess....:-)
ReplyDeletehahaha, don't be surprise!! there's one in MV brought in by the singaporean lor..
ReplyDeletei have a friend who is so obssessed with this.. he signed up for package and goes almost every week..
ReplyDeletebut i think i won't try this (though quite curious lah).. i heard it's not that safe due to the strong UV, it may cause side-effects to the health..
ReplyDeletefor me, i only go for natural suntan lor.. i really like to lie down under the sun by the pool or beach.. i like myself a little tanner to look more man~~ :D
ReplyDeleteA tan? No need lah. I want to be fair, not dark!
ReplyDeleteThere might still be a risk of skin exposure to UV rays.
ReplyDeleteI don't care for tanning salons! I tan easily under the sun and that's good enough for me. Plus, these sessions are expensive and not really good for the skin.

ReplyDeleteNot sure if indoor tanning comes with Vitamin D.

The one in MV is Fabulous Tan.
I say no to radiation. Don't find tanning any value-adding to my life too, will save that cash.
ReplyDelete我觉得好像在烤人咧！呵呵呵。。。
ReplyDelete大马天气那么热，古铜色也好像不时兴，如果有人开这样的烤人房，有人会光顾吗？

ReplyDelete听说生意不错。
i definitely not interested to pay for tanning. much worse when i have to pay tonnes to reverse the tan. i can just stand under the sun for a while and i will be tanned already
ReplyDeletekhengsiong,
ReplyDeleteNo, newspaper is not as efficient.
I know because one year, when my school had the cross country run, I and a few teachers were down at the public park getting ready for the students. And what do I see? Doggy poop where the little children would be sitting on the grass.
I could pretend I didn't see the poop, but I knew if I left them, the kids would start a pandemonium if some of them stood or sat on them.
I tried to use paper to clean them up, paper did work. Plastic bags work best. I don't want to be graphic, you can imagine. Especially if the poop is fresh of if the grass is wet
