I am stunned by what April said. It is so wrong it's laughable.

Apply 3 days in advance? Good grief! How often do people shower in Marietta nowadays?

Re: buying AG, when I must bring it in, I look for a distributor closing it out at 50%. I don't buy it under the ETS standard discount structure. I also think that, for the money, there are better products available to offer from other manufacturers.

The only reason people sell AG stuff is to get their little kick backs. I feel it is low-end goop that is made cheaply and sold cheaply to make money off the volume sold. I have never stocked it, never will and I don't special order it either.

Does anyone here read the Tanning Fact Book put out by Looking Fit? That is where I got my information. So if I am wrong, I guess you all better be telling the people at Looking Fit that THEY are wrong.

Looking Fit Tanning Fact Book, Printed March 15, 2002 for the years 2002/2003 Page 22, second paragraph under the heading "Accelerators and Amplifiers" This is word for word, so get our YOUR glasses and take a gander:

"There are two basic steps that one can follow in developing an indoor or outdoor tan. Pre-tan solutions are applied before exposure to ultraviolet light. These include accelerators and amplifiers, and some products even offer both functions. Most of these solutions are made from a tyrosine base. Tyrosine is an amino acid that is necessary for the production of melanin in the body. USUALLY, TYROSINE-BASED PRODUCTS ARE APPLIED TWO TO THREE DAYS PRIOR TO ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT EXPOSURE. IT SUPPOSEDLY TAKES THIS LONG FOR THE FORMULA TO PENETRATE DEEPLY ENOUGH TO DO ANY GOOD"

If, after reading that, you STILL insist that it is not right, contact Virgo Publishing, Rick Mattoon at rmattoon@vpico.com

Is it true that A.G line tends to leave a film on the bed acrylics. One of my girls told me yesterday that they had read this ( course she could not remember where she read it)
