- girl 2

Except not really, and no you didn't.
I never quite got this fake tan/sunbed thing. Fair skin looks attractive. It really does. Noting fair and pasty are not the same thing, but fair skinned girls are really attractive. Tanned skin looks attractive.
Fake tan looks fake and is neither fair nor tanned nor attractive.

I never quite got this fake boobs/implants thing. Small boobs look attractive. They really do. Noting small and flat are not the same thing, but small boobed girls are really attractive. Big boobs look attractive.
Fake boobs look fake and are neither realistic nor attractive.

I’d like to say I was expecting that, but the subject was just an attempt at being funny.
You’re mostly right, just because most fake boobs look fake, however not always. The same applies to fake tans, I assume.
I can just understand an obsession with boobs over tans more easily.

I’ll be honest. I’ve often lamented the fact that I do not tan. I blame it on my Irish ancestry :-) I just burn and peel and than I am fair again. But I won’t fake bake either. I just find it nasty to go lie in a bed that some other unknown person has been in n a k e d. Ewww. I don’t care what kind of cleaner they use to clean them after said unknown person is done. It’s just icky.

I still maintain that fake boobs look like you’ve had two giant Smarties inserted under your skin.
Fake tans are AWFUL. Go for the pale and interesting look, I say.

Two giant silicone smarties, Lisa. Fake boobs look like fake boobs, I’ve never seen a pair of boobs that I couldn’t tell whether they were real or fake. They don’t wobble right, they don’t hang right (they don’t hang, period) and (from what I’ve heard, no personal experience on this) they feel like over-filled water balloons. I’d rather no boobs than fake boobs, definitely. Fortunately I don’t need to make that choice. :-)
As for fake tan… It’s called fake tan for a reason. It’s fake, like a fake Rolex. It can look ok from a distance, but up close the orangey reality is far from nice to look at. It’s a bit like fake boobs, but really it’s more like a wonderbra. It’s a temporary enhancement, provoking disappointment on discovery of the truth.
And don’t get me started on sunbeds.

Er, I guess it’s incumbent on someone to point out that the fake tans AND boobs that don’t look fake never get recognised as such. You just think ‘what a wonderful natural tan/pair’ etc.
Can’t speak with any authority on tans, but have encountered a couple of pairs of boobs that looked natural and very close to my idea of the aesthetic paradigm, but on actual contact, the feel gave away the implants immediately.
Also, the post-op scars were noticeable once exposed (even though neat and small). Although I think I read something recently about some wonder-technique for eliminating post-op scarring completely.
Disappointing to play with, even though jaw-dropping to look at. Instinct would be that these are in the minority, but how can you accurately calculate such a thing? ;-)

“You look fake tanned but it looks good…”
I would firebomb my friends until they were dead if they said something like that to me. But then they would probably already have firebombed me until I was dead for going on a sunbed.

Ohh a topic close to my heart.
Boobs that is.. not tans (I mean.. orange, really?!)
Anyway, a friend of mine got implants and let me have a feel. She also let my wife have a feel and then I got to feel both to “compare” (honestly).
I can happily state that some fake boobs look real, ‘sit’ properly’ and only feel fake if you happen to squeeze the ‘border’ area.
And on the tan thing, sometimes a tan looks good, sometimes it doesn’t. Fake tans that look real can work. Fake tans that look like you’ve been dumped in a vat of orangey stuff then beaten about the arms and legs with mushed up orange AND THEN dipped head first into a vat of the orange jelly stuff they use in Jaffa cakes… they look rubbish.
