Orange alert!

Why are minor celebrities in Australia following the trend of minor celebrities in the UK and turning a startling shade of tangerine?!

I was watching the soccer for a bit this morning, but was depressed by our lack of a$$-kicking, so flicked over to the Today show and was shocked to see that Tracy Grimshaw had, against all conventions of good taste and sanity, turned orange! Bright, startling orange! And something had happened to hair to turn it into a wet straw colour, so she looked somewhat like an elongated citrus fruit under a bit of old oat grass.

Arrgh!

So very, very wrong on so many levels.

There is such a thing as a healthy-looking tan (shush, health professionals that say otherwise... people got by for centuries with healthy tans). Unfortunately these d-list celebrities seem to have forgotten that natural looks with tans are the key and have just said, 'Oh, what the heck, Giorgio, make me glow in the dark! Bright orange is the new black!'
