Back in May,44-year-old Patricia Krentcil became a media sensation. . Even though she always denied the charges and said that while she was tanning her daughter was playing with her Barbie dolls she was charged with second-degree child endangerment for supposedly putting her 5-year-old daughetr in an artificial tanning booth
“She plays with her Barbie dolls while I tan,” she said.
After being burnt in the court of public opinion she made an great attempt to quit her tanning addiction.
Last month In Touch magazine invited her to do a photo-shoot but they had one condition She had to stay away from tanning beds for a month.
Just like with every addiction it wasn’t easy for her.
“I’ve had moments where I’ve felt like, ‘I need to be tan.’ And I did all the spray tans and lotions and creams, too — anything to get dark,” Krentcil told the magazine.
“Once a doctor told me to stop tanning, But I didn’t listen to him. I wanted to be dark. I like looking like I just got back from vacation.”
Krentcil admitted to In Touch that her family and friends think she looks much better when she’s less tan, but she doesn’t agree.
“I feel weird and pale,” she said, adding that, in the future, she will likely “squeeze a tan in here or there.”
