"Tan Mom" Plans Vacation Somewhere Hot Where She Can "Fry Like Bacon"

[joeybee12]

The New Jersey woman known as "Tan Mom" has big plans now that the criminal case against her is over: a self-tanning lotion line, a book proposal, a comedy act — and a raft of lawsuits.

But right now what Patricia Krentcil wants is a vacation.

"Somewhere hot so I can fry like a bacon and come back and say, 'Ha! Ha! You can't arrest me for lying in the sun,'" Krentcil, 44, said with a laugh.

"Not my face, though. Just my body."

It was Krentcil's face — practically the color of a chestnut in some photos — that made her a national punchline after she was arrested in May and charged with exposing her then-five-year-old daughter, Anna, to damaging ultraviolet rays at tanning salons in Nutley, N.J.

4. I think she has a date with Manti T'eo.

5. Eh, I don't give a crap

about that handbag.

6. I could care less what she does to her body just as long as she doesn't take her minor child to

tanning salons. I think too many of us want to be able to tell people what they can and cannot do with their own bodies. If she wants to fry like bacon I say go for it.

7. "Did you say bacon...?"

8. ...

9. It depends on when he last reapplied... n/t

10. That's good...but another appropriate caption would be:

"Separated at Birth?"

11. I think she'd look better with a world class case of argyria than that tan.
