Body Builders

Last night we were flipping through the channels during a commercial break from the Olympics and happened to catch part of a show on women body-builders. These are women who aren't just "physically fit" but are muscular in the extreme and participate in body-building competitions. For some reason, the competitions require them to be extremely tanned and shiny which, I can only assume, is to accentuate the definition in their muscles. I have to say that I've never seen anyone achieve a natural tan quite like this, and really these women end up a horrific shade of orange.

The three of us sat there with our jaws dropped while we processed the visuals, and then Cici turned to me and said, "Mom ... she's ... not the color of people!"

And you know what? She's right.
