Terry Pratchett
“He had the kind of real deep tan that rich people spent ages trying to achieve with expensive holidays and bits of tinfoil, when really all you need to do to obtain one is work your arse off in the open air everyday.”

“Just don't fall into a tanning bed.

These machines are for vapid, narcissistic, idiots who have barren vacuums where their thoughts, fears, and passions should be.

Spending time in a tanning bed will only earn you the appearance and intellect of an inbred baked potato.

Don't be a baked potato.
Be a person.”
Matthew Inman, The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances (Volume 5)

Charlaine Harris
“Well in two months, it'd be sunbathing time. That made me smile. I enjoyed lying in the sun in a little bikini, timing myself carefully so I didn't burn. I loved the smell of coconut oil. And I don't want to hear any lectures about how bad tanning is for you. That's my vice. Everybody gets one.”
Charlaine Harris, Dead as a Doornail

Crystal Woods

Anne Sexton
“Sun, you hammer of yellow, 
you hat on fire, 
you honeysuckle mama, 
pour your blonde on me! 
Let me laugh for an entire hour 
at your supreme being, your Cadillac stuff, 
because I've come a long way 
from Brussels sprouts. ”
Anne Sexton

Munia Khan
“When the tidal waves wildly behaving
My bare feet on the shore busy saving
The calm warmth leaking out of the sand
To let my heart feel peacefully tanned!”
Munia Khan

Joan Crawford
“Hair that has been colored is susceptible to the sun. [...] Sun isn't kind to the skin either, even though a tan is so attractive. After a woman reaches thirty she should get her tan out of a bottle - with a good base - and protect her skin and hair from the direct rays of the summer sun.”
Joan Crawford, My Way of Life

“Emergency tanning method is as follows. Dry deer and animal brains, then boil them in enough urine to form a thin cream-like solution. Soak the raw hides in the solution for 24 hours, then remove them and stretch and pull the hides continuously for at least a half hour over the rounded end of an eight inch or larger log. Pull and stretch the hides until they are dry or practically dry. This is the Ojibway method of tanning raw hides.”
George Leonard Herter, How to Get out of the Rat Race and Live on $10 a Month
