So I go in and they are giving me the tour. Ya know, blah blah blah, here's a bed, here's a stand up, blah blah blah... And then we come to this room, and I swear they opened the door and it was like in the movies when a bright light shines behind something and that music of 'Awe' sounds and you zoom in on the item. So they are like, this is the "Velocity 918HP". I had never seen a bed like it - it looked like a space ship - like if I laid in it would crash out the side of the wall and fly me to the mother ship.
So of course, wide eyed and drooling, I had to take a ride in it!! So I was trying to remain composed and asked very cool like, "How much for a tan in that bed?"
The response "Oh, it's only $35 per session."
What, What, WHAT!?! $35 to lay in the spaceship for 15 minutes. Mother of God!! Are you kidding me? So of course I was like, alright, I gotta find out what a $35 tanning bed is like. So I chunked down my cash, was given the 'low down' on how to use it, lathered myself up and crawled into the Spaceship Tanning Bed. And let me tell you - it was FANTASTIC!!! It was so comfortable and it has these huge fans blowing on you so you don't get hot at all and it's all bronzing bulbs and you come out looking like a Bronzed Goddess. This bed has special bulbs that do not burn. I don't know how that is, but it's true!! I had a very light tan, if I would have laid in a bed for the same amount of time I would have come out pink/burned and would have to wait a couple days to have the tan set in and be maybe only be a shade darker then before. I came out of this bed about 5 shades darker, no burn, in one visit. Amazing!!! I'm hooked!!! This bed ROCKS!!

I bet whoever designed that thing had a meeting one time where they said, "Okay, so we want the new customers to come into the room and feel like they're walkig into a George Lucas movie and they won't be able to walk out without trying it." No way did your experience happen without someone planning it that way. But hey, who cares, you enjoyed it right?
I don't even tan and I want to be in that bed...what do you think it would do to my casper ass? Do they let ghostly white mortals like me in?
I have never needed a tanning bed (as you can see from my pic) but $35 for 15 minutes....to look like me!!!???
I just moved back from FL and I have no idea why there are so many tanning places. I think you can tan going to get the mail.
Andrew, you are so right!! That Tanning Bed had me at 'Hello'! lol
Penrick, isn't it ridiculous? Feel fortunate that you do not have to go through the whole ordeal of 'Tanning'. Because you were blessed with dark skin - you don't have to worry about all the horrible things 'Sun Tanning' does to your skin! Skin Cancer, Premature Aging, etc. And not to mention the costs, and wasted time; time I could use doing something more productive. And yet, it doesn't stop me from the obsession of the bronzed body.
And on that note, Steph - you really should try this bed!!! :)
At $35 a pop, I hope you don't get hooked.
That thing is so cool! I bet they can rig it to play cool, eclectic music and serve you martinis while you tan, too.
Justin - I forgot to mention that it does have a kick ass stereo system in it and the speakers are located up by your head and you have a remote control to control CD/radio, volume, etc.
But yes... now it just needs to find a way to have it serve martini's.. Now THAT would be the Mother of All Tanning Beds!!! LOL
If it starts serving Martini's, I'm moving in!!!
I've used that bed before and it is a little bit of heaven. I always burn but not in that one! Gotta love it.
I tan at that Salon - I only tan in that bed. That tanning salon is the best in this continent!
WOW!!! I always burn. Hmm, Maybe I'll have to try this type of bed out too. But with my luck I'll never find one around by me, lol
BTW I'm a newbie here... Great blog!!
