What would you say is your BEST bodypart? What do your friends rave about you as your BEST? When judges critique you, what is the one bodypart that they say is outstanding on you?

my hammies were surprisingly good at my shows this year! Colette said something to me about how good my hammie popped out on one pose and I looked at her and went, I have hammies? really??? sweet!
Yeah was actually a new thing for me too to always get compliments on them, my calves have always been a give in though...

Yeah I am NOT too keen on the judging around here... considering the judging panel is HALF who I used to work for.
Kinda odd the show I did too, where I took 3rd (yet the judges clients won, and will be at the AC amateur) still has YET to get score cards up :mad:

I don't understand how a judge can judge when he/she has a client on stage. In Co. we do not allow that at all! If a judge is found out that he has a competitor on stage....he/she gets a spanking and cannot judge for a year.

Well I'm Carla's girl, so it's all about the Pro Tan!
Mary sprayed me four times before Pre-judging (with one shower after the first two), and then once more (after another shower) before finals. Carla used the Pro Tan top coat on me to shine me up.
My skin seems to absorb the pro tan really evenly, and my color really turned out good at Jr Nats!

I had Mary spray me too, but how come your color looks so great the day AFTER? Mines was horrible and you should see how it looked on Mon. after the show. I had a shoot and I was peeling pretty bad. :(

HMMmm you were peeling from the pro tan? Mine started to look bad a couple of days later, but I only took one shower before the shoot the day after the show because I wanted to preserve the color as much as I could.
Pro Tan tends to absorb into my skin a lot more than Jan Tana does...the Jan Tana tends to sit on top of my skin, and alot washes off.

Well, not literally peeling, but you know how it looks blotchy? Kind of like a disease? lol.
I had a shoot with Gene Sunday afternoon. It wasn't too bad that day. (I took a shower Sat. night after the finals).
Then on Mon I had another shoot. This day the tan was horrible! I don't post those pics up cuz' it shows in the photos.
I was thinking of trying Jan Tana. On that Monday, I also did a duo shoot during the same shoot...and the girl who I had the shoot with...she used Jan Tana and her skin was great! She said the color washed off perfectly. She had to scrub a tiny bit, but it was great....compared to mines. :(

Just my two cents.... Tried both and now hooked on Jan Tana. Washes off evenly and goes on easily too. I had three coats on for both and it was perfect. I think anyway. Protan is too easily absorbed by skin so it always comes off blotchy.....for me anyhow. But a lot of people prefer the COLOR of Protan vs Jan Tana

Just my two cents.... Tried both and now hooked on Jan Tana. Washes off evenly and goes on easily too. I had three coats on for both and it was perfect. I think anyway. Protan is too easily absorbed by skin so it always comes off blotchy.....for me anyhow. But a lot of people prefer the COLOR of Protan vs Jan Tana
Thank you .
I've always used Protan!!! But I'm thinking of trying Jan Tana out. I'll try it off-season first and see how I like that. I do LOVE the color protan gives out too.
Did you get the JT sprayed on or did you apply it yourself?

We did it ourselves. Andrew is very picky about stuff like that but it didn't take long and one bottle was more than enough for one show. Friends have been sprayed but it takes longer to dry I heard. One girl fell asleep Fri night with her hand on her stomach....woke up with hand print..... Lol

I do like the Pro Tan color better, but Jan Tana DOES come off a lot more evenly. It has a self-tanner in it also, so your skin gets dark, which helps it fade more evenly.
I think spraying is always the way to go versus other applications if you have a chance to get a spray. Jan Tana is easier to apply yourself than Pro Tan.
Nice video Trace!! Back looks awesome!! :bowdown:
Biceps, huh? I'll have to find a couple of pics for ya. ;)

Do you think that a person's natural skin color makes a difference in what product looks best? I hated pro tan color on me. I've got olive skin
ummmm I'm not sure I have a best bodypart. :banghead:

Yes, I definitely think that makes a difference. Some people have gone green with pro tan. And some people go orange with Jan Tana.
I am very fair naturally, so I just try to use a tanning bed to get a little brown base.

Mary will tell you the big problem with protan turning green is a ph imbalance in the body (usually)...and she has tricks for that, too! hahahaha...
while jan tana washes off more easily, I am sold on protan now...especially that quick bronze used backstage...but I didn't have any problems doing shoots the next day or the day after that b/c Mary had told me absolutely no scrubbing, just hand wash with soap and water and then pat dry...my only real gripe are the joints and hands/feet postcomp...argh!!!

That was probably my problem then. I took a shower and shaved and all. So I need a spanking then! :banghead:(I was dying to shave! I couldn't help it!)
So....maybe I need to use Jan Tana then.
Yeah except for that trash being ALL OVER my feet I didn't really have an issue with it coming off all weird either... then again I do stay pretty naturally dark in the summer anyways :)

Do you all exfoliate before hand? I always get a pedicure to. If you have any dead skin on your feet, elbows, etc. the tan will look like crap on these areas cause it is so easily absorbed. When it comes to joints, less is more.

Yes, I do exfoliate weeks prior to. And oh yeah baby. Gotta be careful with the elbows, knuckles, ankles, knees....go super lightly on them and only do 1-2 coats. That's it otherwise it get's too dark and looks all dirty.
Thats what I was talking about!!!!!!!! :D
wish my legs freaking looked lilke that DAMN
I said my arms, because they remain remarkable lean and vascular year long.... AND they're jacked for my size which I like. Second to my arms?? My booty....its on the bigger side for a figure girl...but hell I love it!

Nope, it works in rotation.

What am I gonna do with you, HA! My calves have grown about an inch as well, and thats always skipping out on them (thats why I put them at the end of my workouts) So I am definitely up for a trade! Although I have been told NO MORE quad stuff for myself either or I could lose symmetry :rolleyes:
