The real truth only as .COM Can say it

I want everyone to understand a few things before I get started on my review of such items ,,,,,

There is No disrespect intended for anyone and I do not want to come off as being mean or harsh, However the Truth is the Truth and sometimes Feelings do get Hurt.

If You do not like what I have to say or disagree with It all that is fine. If You do like what I have to say and know that I am speaking the truth that is OK also.

Let US Begin shall we :}}}}}}}}}}

The show this Year was a good one indeed lots of great parties Lots of great New Lotions and Lots of New beds and, most of ALL :}}}} Lots of Gossip which is why WE all Love indoor tanning it truly is a one of a kind Industry that is about to change so dramatically in the Next 36 Months Its Awesome but yet very very scary ........

The manufactures

ETS
I do have to admit that my own hero in this industry Was Max recone from cal tan as I figured he was one of the smartest guys that I have meet in a long time and still is one of them no doubt about it.

However Trevor The owner of the largest company that supplies indoor tanning needs in the USA is without a doubt The Son of God, I truly think that he is Jesus Christ in human form No doubt about ,,,,,There is No one alive that can make the money he has made and is making and Have the absolute WORSE people surround Him Known to Mankind....

This is an act only of GOD and Know one can dispute this at all ??????

He takes away Swedish beauty right out of JA"s hands spends a cool million getting it makes about 20 times his money back and still has a line that Stinks from top to bottom and has never done anything with it at all Its amazing Truly

The AG line You might as well buy Eurotan and put that in Your stores does it get any worse then that crap and it still sells I cannot figure it out at all

Next up he buys into the Helios deal with a guy that should have been feed to Jaws himself years ago Tony T. Whom I hear is no longer with ETS{WoW What a suprise that is } Does it get any worse then doing business with Him the program still sucks and always will suck and yet Trevor keeps it and makes Money,Once again he is Jesus in Human form.

Next up the Beds
My God can ETS even make a bed that works ???????

There entry level Beds i could build in my garage with pliers
His New bed from last year that is the size of a small SUV is Pure garbage and Now the icing on the cake The HP line What are THEY thinking You need a Fireman's ladder Just to get into the bed ,,, I mean its bad enough that New tanners are scared to Tan ,,, SO what does ETS do, Hey lets come out with a bed that scares everyone to Death and we will sell about 20 of them for the year and only to the schmucks that either have a contract with US or have IQ "s below 20.......

ETS is truly an amazing company ,,,,,,Trevor You need to FIRE EVERYONE THAT WORKS FOR YOU ,,,,,,,,,,,,, They all suck Period ..........

I also think that YOU need to write a book and How to make Million of dollars Hiring Dummies ,,,,,,The dummies guide to making millions by hiring dummies BY Trevor grey ,,,,,It would be a bestseller ........

Trevor is the Son of GOD ,,,,,no one regular human can make the money He makes with such Absurd people working for him Nobody could ...........

Sun ergoline

What a crew this is ........If this is not the Regime all over again then I do not know what is.

They deny everything love everyone and Yet sell to anyone ..............

And the best part of there company is the pricing is always compared to You by what they sell to there franchise owners ,,,,,,,,,Amazing and yet folks still buy there beds is even more amazing to me ......Only Indoor tanning can obtain this kind of Mind set.

There New line did look nice Thu and it was laid out with all kinds of whistles and bells, Hopefully they will work Thu, Not to mention the power of these units is still in question.

Nice stand up booth Thu ,,,,,,I really liked the plasma TV look and the Live speaker telling all the Newbies about How great there New line is.....

Some regimes never change Tactics .............ON A positive note there new stand up was very COOL ..........

PC MARKETING

Susan Susan Susan Susan
The Madeline allbright of Indoor Tanning brings US all The power of chow fun

A true tanning delight Loose weight while You tan ,,,,,,

WE all tell Susan build US a stand up
WE all tell Susan build US a true HP in a S-class shell
WE all tell Susan Restructure those Montegos so that they actually are easier to work on and change out bulbs.
WE all tell Susan WE need a spray booth

We all Love Susan very Much :}}}}}}}}}}

What does Susan do, She brings us THE POWER CHOW FUN And lets not forget the Gold plated S-class It grew on me Like a bad Ex wife ........

Thank God or should I say thank Trevor that Susan still makes the BEST TANNING BED KNOWN .....

And the she has the Best service guy in the Industry in Bruce, 1st class dud all the way ......Not to mention Paul manke He really does know tanning well.

Not to mention a few of her disb are some very very good salon owners.

PC and Uwe will get it right someday ......


Tan America

You got to love the Greek.......This guy is has a way about him the can only be described as HARD-CORE .........

However He makes the BEST ENTRY LEVEL 32 lamp bed In the industry PERIOD.

The fiesta Line was awesome now if he can just create those colors in all his lines he would have a Huge homerun on His hands for sure ........

Matrix is nice as always just add about 85 tons of AC to your room and Its all good.

Cindy D however is a true sales lady with a Heart of Gold, Peter is lucky to have such a great daughter ........ And of course lets not leave out Marty the tannest guy in tanning, Not to mention the Highest paid salesman in the industry ......

Tan America is a class act ........


Black sun
Good ol Sam James and his posse of Misfits is for sure making a splash in tanning His beds to say the least Have power and Lots of it ,,,, Enough to Kill you if not careful ......However His line is catching on and building somewhat of a cult following.,

Can we all say Jim Jones ,,,,,,,,Rememeber that crew that all drank the special juice and All died ........ AT least they will all be tan when they go .....

Sam does have one powerful unit and he could be a huge underdogg to watch ?????


Miracle sun

AL reasonover is a good guy

His magic 636
I think was built for the wrong industry.....This is tanning ,,,,,Not the Funeral home industry we do not cremate Folks in salons ......
The bed has 36 thousand watts of power ,,,,,ANY QUESTIONS ????????

Ultrasun ........
Why where they there is all I have to say .......

Ultrabrontz
Great Booth
It had 1 BED .......Sales must be huge for this company ..........

Prosun
WHY ???????

Spray booths

DO I even need to get into this can of Worms or what ........Buy 1 and You will make Money ,,,,,,,Problem is there is only 1 to buy ... You figure it out .......


AHHHHHHH

The lotion vendors

Everyone "s favorite talking point

JA
I have to admit they showed up and did well,,,,,,A couple of new items that look pretty good and the best part is if you go exclusive You get a free Ounce of blow for every order over 2500.00

I think that is a great Reward program ........


Swedish beauty and AG

AS stated above The son of God owns it ,,,,,,It doesn't matter How bad it is,
It doesn't matter how terrible the packing is ,,,,,,He will make millions.


Fiji

Russell
Please stop wearing overcoats ,,,,,,,The Steven segal look has been out for sometime now ......

I think there booth is even smaller then last year.


Supre

A suprise some really cool items they had.
Too bad the local supermarket will have them also ...........


Nuvobrontz

I like these guys ,,,,,,They are hanging in tough and some of there packing is cool.

There step 1 emerge is a really good product I must admit.

The rest of the smaller companies Just suck so why bother .........

Now the Real talk

Designer Skin Vs CAL TAN

The war is on and its full speed ahead ..........

DS

Love em or hate em

They have made a big splash in a very short time.

There packing is very cool and Hip and there attitude towards salon owners is refreshing to say the least ......

No pressure to buy they DO not care, Just stock some of our items and YOU will be happy Attitude .........

Big bottles and Big price tag ,,,,,However it seems that there Goop in a bottle is working and working Big.

If Brad and Beth can hold on ,,,,,,, They could be very big in a very short time........

They are making it tough on Cal tan to say the least ..........HOWEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cal Tan

Has and posses the Secret weapon of mass destruction

THE weapons name is MAX RECONE

He is truly the P. T. BARNUM OF INDOOR TANNING

I have one question.....
Does this guy ever sleep ?????????

Max had more friends then some small countries have in population.......

This guy is like Visa, He is everywhere..........

3 years at the helm of Cal Tan and everything about this company has changed with the exception of Jimmy and SUE, Is she still not the Hottest chick in tanning or what ???????

And lets not forget about Ken, He ages by the millisecond and yet continues to lead the small army of Trainers and more trainers its crazy.

OHHHH Our beloved Frank

I think this guy is in the wrong business ,,,,,,,He really needs to be killing people for a living ,,,,,You got to admit Thu He will tell you what's up in a New York minute .....

Cal Tan is turning out a powerful Team of very well trained and placed people throughout there Company and With Max Heading it all up or should I say Neo from the movie the Matrix ,,,,,This dud dances to a different beat words cannot explain it all .......

DS has pumped out some really cool stuff but if I was a betting man I would not bet against Max and Frank and the Cal tan team .........

I am happy to see that more and more salon owners in there local markets are getting along much better Thu and its refreshing to Know that there is still a lot of good people in this Industry ..........


The Ugly

Franchise Tanning

Stay tuned as my big meeting with the Biggest Investor of Palm beach is just a few short Hours away .........However I will not be able to tell You anything this is of course Tanning and You will have to hear it thru the Rumor mill as it makes it thru the circle of our Industry ..........I can tell You this however........They have very big CASH behind them and there are Taking No prisoners ..........BE prepared to stand Your ground and fight it out ........


In the Words of the One and only .COM

Its All Good

Thank you
Kimme
It is what it is...

THere is not 1 single person in indoor tanning today ,,,That can dispute any of the above Overall breakdown of tanning at ALL NOT ONE .....

Chose your postion very carefully as TANNING IS GOING TO CHANGE 100% IN THE NEXT 36 TO 48 MONTHS ......

My lotions guys are a DONE deal
My bed people well Hopefully that will be a Done deal very shortly....

THe inside scoop well Lets just say.....Its nice to have Friends that are True friends and not phoney Folks like so many out there Floating around ........

You have choices still Today ,,,,But that Gap is closing very rapidly and swiftly.

Stay Tuned

It is going to unravel right in front of your Eyes sooner then You think .......


Regards to all

Rep Power: 0 tanman02 is an unknown quantity at this point
Maybe you should put up a doomsday countdown so that all of us know when to start planning our retirement. Ha, Ha.

By the way, why would all these people with so much money invested on the line be telling everything to a long winded, gossiping, tan queen like yourself?
