Every serious tanner (someone who sunbathes, not someone working with leather - though many sunbathers are quite leathery) has a specific tanning regimen. Some are so serious that they call it a tanning "regime." (That sounds so overbearing, almost dictatorial.) I took a stroll through New York Central Park's Great Lawn and investigated.

1. Mo my man, don't you mean tanning *regimen* (not regime)?

2. African-American oil? Black man tan? Brillarious! I love it!
Yes, being born with a natural tan has its advantages for sure.
By the way, Mo, you wear "pale" very well, babe.

3. Don't be dissing pale people Mo. You have to represent all that is uncomfortably white and easily burned. Without us pale people, the much more heavily tanned and 'golden' people of the world wouldn't be nearly as attractive if they didn't have us pale freaks to compare themselves to. I say we start a pale regime!

4. Mo, I can't stop staring at your sexy sandals.

5. Just a heads up...
Citypages.com is running a poll on who should replace Rosie O'Donnell on The View. You're currently in the lead, behind the throw away vote, "God, I hate that show."

I don't know about you, but beating the likes of Caroline Rhea, Kathy Griffin and Marie Osmond would give me some warm and fuzzies.
Keep rockin' Rocca.

7. Im Biracial, and Im the lightest freakin one in my family and they tease me about it constantly. Callin me "whitey" and other stupid names. Honestly I dont give a crap about a tan or not. Im go out alot but yet I dont get any darker so really im just goin to give up. Mo, you are rather pale but it looks oh so sexy on you.

8. Thanks Giftedgirl, Vanessa and Apiffany for the compliments on my hot paleness. But I just got back from the beach yesterday and now I have a tan, to be seen in the upcoming videos. Hopefully you'll dig my Colombian side.
Blayze, stay pale for the rest of us. I'm going back to the beach this weekend!
And thanks, Ben. If they offer me a slot on The View, I'm there.

9. Ack. I need proofreading lessons. Nix on the "regime" comment. Arghhh
tom sherman at 1:47PM on Jun 20th 2007
10. Tanning regimen consists of two things:
1) The best lotions I have found are made by May Kay. Put them on 20 minutes before you tan, stand under a ceiling fan to dry you and let the lotion soak in.
2) At the risk of sounding like a spammer, for a comfortable "Even-Glow" tan in a one sided bed or on the beach look into a new pillow: The SquidFace and ComfyRest pillows are a patented invention for lying truly facedown comfortably and breathe without turning my head to the side.

11. I'm a whitie myself and over the years I've tried a TON of self-tanners. I have to say by far the best one is Jergan's Natural Glow. You can't mess this stuff up. It's a daily moisteriizer and it it doesn't turn you orange at all and over a few days of putting it on, you gradually see your new tan! If you try it, you'll love it!!
