Also called sun worshippers. They see a very pasty pale person when they stare into the mirror. A person who has an obsession with tanning. Not limited to any sex or race, they are predominantly white females. Tanorexics missed the memo that said that too much sunlight, specifically UV rays, is a leading cause of skin cancer, almost as bad as smoking cigarettes like a chimney which many tanorexics indulge in also. Tanorexics can easily be identified as having skin a sickly brown color, taking on a certain shade of poop the darker they get. This skin is many times darker than their sun bleached hair. A tanorexic thinks that dark skin makes them desirable and sexy. If a tanorexic tans many years, their skin takes on a leathery appearance and will form creases and folds, especially on the face, making one look older than their actual age, and possibly uglier than they would have been otherwise. They also keep the cost of insurance rising due to their frequency of skin cancer breakout. The common personality traits of a tanorexic are: sel-absorbtion, dimb-wittedness, and in defiance of common logic about the harmful affects of radiation. They tend to have a large majority of population incidence of skin cancer. The common types of tanorexics include: vain teenage girls, the party girls, the trophy wives (otherwise known as the rich bitches who don't have to work because their husband is a doctor/lawyer/corporate executive), the wrinkled old dark bitches who still think they look good( they fit in the previous category as well).
That wrinkled old tanorexic needs to go indoors and hide her ugly self.
