tanned betty

A young woman was getting married and she wanted to look her very best. She decided that her expensive white dress would be attractively set off by a golden tan. Unfortunately, she waited until a week before the wedding to start her tanning sessions. Salon after salon told her that she could only tan for thirty minutes, twice a week, to start. At this rate, she would not be tan in time for her wedding. The bride then had a brilliant idea: she would tan the maximum amount of time at every tanning salon in town.

The wedding day came, and the bride was beautiful -- dark, perfect tan and all. However, on the wedding night, the groom noticed that his new wife had a peculiar smell -- kind of like rotting meat. As the honeymoon wore on, the smell persisted and grew worse until he could stand it no longer: he insisted that his bride go to the hospital to find out what was causing the awful stench. Doctors examined her carefully, but could not identify the source of the odor.

The bride's health began to fail, and after a few days she died. When the autopsy was performed, the horrified coroner discovered that the woman's internal organs were cooked! Over-exposure to tanning rays had cooked the woman from the inside out, just like a microwave oven, and in the days following the wedding, the bride had begun to "spoil".

Date: 11/22/2000 4:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 18516    this is true!! i went to a tanning place and the lady that worked there told me about a woman who was going from tanning place to tanning place b/c each place would only let her stay in the tanning bed for 20 minutes so after she would leave one she'd go to another. and she kept doing this and a couple of months later she died from cancer and her internal organs were cooked! lemonademe

Date: 11/22/2000 11:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 18516    okay to clear this up for ya, since it seems to be confusing...if you read what i wrote i said this was true, and it is. but this legend may not be true but the content is true. some women go from tanning beds to tanning beds and months later they have cancer or they have cooked there insides and they have died. i know this for fact b/c i know a lady who works at a tanning saloon and she has told me this stories of women she knew that did this and died. lemonademe

Date: 11/26/2000 3:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 19615    why did you delete my comment? I was just trying to stop people from passing on these stories as true. That's very rude of you
Date: 11/26/2000 7:06:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16398    as you can see i deleated my comments as well.(most of them)i did it for my own personal reasons,i hope you'll understand!  
Date: 11/26/2000 7:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 19615    well, not really.. the link I posted is to debunk this myth so that people don't pass it on as a fact. There's nothing worse than people not realising they're lying!
Date: 11/26/2000 8:29:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16398    if you read my other posting's i have one saying all the current ledgands i'm posting aare from snopes  
Date: 11/27/2000 4:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 19615    18516 said that it was true, I was pointing out that it was not, and that just because someone says it happened to their ex boyfriends mothers sisters dogs ex owners mother in law.. it isn't necessarily true! I thought THAT was obvious!
Date: 11/29/2000 6:28:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16398    if she said it is true how could you argue? you don't know that person enough to know what happens in her life.Unless you live w/ her.if you carfully read over her comment she said SHE talked to a lady who knew someone who did this. For all you know the lady she was talking about could have been her sister or someone close to her.you don't know so you shouldn't take gusses.  
Date: 11/29/2000 7:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 16376    OMG! I have heard tans can be bad for you, now I know why. Thanx for posting. Danielle  
Date: 11/30/2000 1:13:00 AM  From Authorid: 18516    to author 19615 if you do not agree with me about this subject being true then that's fine but don't call me a liar. anyway i believe it's true b/c there have been many cases of women doing this. lemonademe  
Date: 2/26/2001 4:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 16612    Tan skin is gross to me.I like pale skin. -TessekTheQuarren  
Date: 3/16/2001 10:18:00 PM    is this "tanning betty" story for real? & can the regular use of tanning beds over time create the same results...a rotten inside?
Date: 3/17/2001 8:36:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 16398    No,this story is a urban ledgand...thus the reason it's in the urban ledgand section..No the regular use will not cause the same outcome..If you use the tanning bed properly you'll have a nice tan in no time at all..The only way it would do that is if you used it improperly...Besides,it's a urban ledgand..
  
Date: 6/14/2003 6:16:00 AM  From Authorid: 46704    That's a pretty disgusting thought actually!
