Health Tips from Raggle, Part I: Tan Hard or Die Trying


Salt Lake City has earned itself the nasty reputation of being one of the healthiest cities in America.  This is wrong.  We are not California.  In this new installment, I’m gonna work hard (but not workout) to give hope to all those degenerates who believe that life without Whole Foods, Zumba dance and sunblock is still worth living! 

(For those of you that find malnutrition, cancer, death, and terrifying STD tests sticky subjects, please take all this advice with a boulder of Himalayan pink salt, and continue on sanitarily masturbating to Dr. Oz.  Also, doooooon’t get mad at me if my guidelines give you frown lines.  That just means you’re doing it wrong.)


Health is sacred in the sense that it gives you the world’s most legitimate reason to feel superior to others.  Everyone to you looks like hacked up, aged stripper meat as they tremble before your glowing, muscular figure.  That self-righteous aura of speed and grace reminds me of why I always try to pinpoint the layout of houses that I’m trying to escape from in my nightmares.  If it’s recognizable as my friend’s third story walk-up, I can invite myself over and tell them, “Dude, I don’t mean to freak you out or anything, but I had a dream last night…and someone was MURDERED right by your bedroom window.  I think it was you.”  The world is truly yours to indignantly laugh at.

But now I axe ya:  Who looks more fun?

Her



Or her.



Correct answer: the tan one.  The TAN ONE!  Ladies (and lads) that aren’t afraid of serious sun damage are way more fun than everyone!

Hero.



Hero.

 
Not really hero, but hey, why not make your deadly vice a career of sorts?  No shame in making the drag queens love you!

 
Hero. 


 Not hero.


Wanna know why?  Here’s a sampling of just five products (out of the thirteen million) you supposedly need on the reg that Goopy is endorsing on her website:

1. Clarisonic Mia, which uses a sonic frequency to clean and tone skin: $149.00

2. Opal Sonic Infusion, that focuses on fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes: $185.00

3. Sara Happ Pink Grapefruit Lip Scrub: $24.00

4. Philip B Blue Spray, a soothing mist for cooling down the body on a hot day: $27.50

5. Aromessence Iris Rejuvenating serum: $79.00

Fuck that amount of money.  And fuck people that care so much about skincare.  You know what separates a tanner’s vanity from everyone else’s?  Rather than spending exorbitant amounts of money getting facials, botox and dermibrasions just to set back the clock ten or fifteen years, the tanner doesn’t give a flying fuck about anything except making their legs look ridiculously great in shorts.  That’s empowerment.  Embracing your wrinkles, sun spots and other crusty imperfections is every woman’s God-given right if they allow it to be.  Accept the Grit.

Seriously ask any milky white-skinned woman adorned with grape vine tattoos to build you a fire while camping, and see what she says.  Ask Zooey Deschanel to hop on your dick and pass you a wrench.   (Holy shit, feminists and gingers, I’m kidding; don’t kill me before the night is through, please!)  Since my readership resides in the 24-35 demographic, I’m telling all you chicks to ask yourself these two questions now before you spend millions and billions on anti-aging creams in the future:  Who really needs dewy skin, and who needs to look forty when they’re really sixty?  Who wants to spend two hours a day applying sunblock when all you need to do is OWN this world with LEATHER?


 Drawbacks to tanning, you ask?  You bet!  Disrobing in a frenzy so you have enough time to lotion yourself down is stressful.  Having to move your arms up and down periodically so your armpits get an even tan with the rest of your body is the equivalent to a minor heart attack.  When the teenage salon attendant sticks you in Booth 3 when you clearly wanted Booth 6 (because it’s roomier), you're filled with enough rage to finger-paint REDRUM with tanning oil all over that trick’s face.  All those shortcomings aside, think of it this way:  that money you saved over the years from not buying Lindsay Bluth’s diamond face cream just kept you from being broke, so you can afford yet another vacation to Tahiti in your twilight years, or all that lavish chemotherapy you’ve been dying for.  You are the champion in all this.  BE the Eurotrash bitch you always wanted to be.

With all that said, it’s actual product endorsement time!

I didn’t pick this out!  My friend Amber pushed it on me!  And haha, the cashier at Whole Foods went off on a rant to her about assholes who’ll get what’s coming to them that don’t buy environmentally friendly products, and I swear to God, she was speaking directly to me.  But seriously, I took one of these wet naps and massaged my face for about twenty minutes because it felt so good.  Plus, it’s a natural makeup remover, so you can take off your mascara without feeling like your eyes just fell into a vat of chemicals.  Very nice.

Anyways, you milk maidens can scoff at the TANS all you want, but when we die early from playing on the beach far too often, just know that we’ll be cackling at you PALES in the afterlife.
