Everything that is wrong. Video link. $1300 tanning salon treatment for an 11 year-old child's school photo. Gotta look like Lindsey Lohan!→[More:]We are doomed.

Why anyone would want to look like Lindsay Lohan is beyond me.

$1300 for a tanning treatment? That's the economy tan here in Vegas. Try $13,000; it spans 3 days and includes actual time outside in the real sun!

People here also hit the spas to sit in saunas!

As for the kid? No biggie.

What's wrong here is that people find it wrong. heheh

I saw that earlier. The news-crawl on the screen at the same time about her little run-in with a tree or whatever it was really was the cherry on top.

Who among us hasn't found ourselves waking up in a strange situation after a blind drunk? Hell, I'll bet most of us did this at least once before we graduated high school.

Sad when the kid said "I don't want to do this, Mommy" and Mommy Dearest replies, "Well, you have to. It's for your school pictures." Way to go, Mom! Let's expose your daughter's skin to potentially deadly skin cancer at an even younger age! Woo Hoo!

Heh. A Salesman taking advantage of a spoiled child and a greedy parent's stupidity. Capitalism at it's finest.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to look like Lohan, she's cute in that "girl next door" way. BUT! It would definitely be a step down for the little girl - she's much cuter than Lohan.

And the mom - can you say "batshitinsane"? I knew you could.

Actually, Lohan is notorious for having a terrible, uneven tan. So anyone tanning that says they want to look like her is high as a kite.

Nope... I totally didn't believe this was for real.

And I found this comment on the E! boards from someone who says she was also taped on the show, was there when the kid and her mom were there, and that it's all fake and scripted. I believe her.
