We can’t hide it. We won’t deny it. We are fascinated, strangely fascinated, with Tanning Mom, the New Jersey mother who was arrested for child endangerment for allegedly taking her her five-year-old to the tanning salon. We frankly aren’t sure if she suffers from body dysmorphia of some sort (likely) or she’s just an elaborate ruse a la fellow tanning aficianado Courtney Stodden.
But either way, Patricia Krentcil leaves us with a lot of questions. Keep reading »

Yesterday we were gobsmacked by/fascinated with Tanning Mom, aka Patricia Krentcil, the New Jersey mama bear who got arrested for allegedly putting her five-year-old in a tanning bed.

Nutley, New Jersey, mother Patricia Krentcil really likes tanning. That’s obvious when you look at her oranged-up skin and bleached hair. But police officials in Nutley believe that Krentcil likes tanning so much that she brought her five-year-old daughter into the tanning booth with her, giving the child serious burns.

Krentcil’s daughter Anna, who is fair-skinned and red-headed, came to school with serious burns. After the school nurse questioned the girl, she revealed that she had been “tanning with mommy.” Krentcil said her daughter came to the salon with her, but didn’t go into the booth. Keep reading »
