Tan Method 1: DIY spray booth (drawback: dry front, wet back, panda eyes). Method 2: Manual application (drawback: streaks on hands/towels). Both harrowing ordeals.
Next time you decide to fake it, order Vanair’s mobile tanning van to your home/office. Run by charming couple Paul and Emma Veale, the service eliminates post-spray angst. (You know — the part when you and your sticky, pungent skin squeeze back into your nice clean clothes, leaving brown marks on everything).
The sexy black van has been converted into an indoor St. Tropez spray booth, complete with chairs, towels and kimonos. Order for yourself or a group of neighbours or friends, and it’ll park right outside your door, anywhere in Central London. Step in, strip, stand in the booth, and Emma will airbrush you in minutes.
Then skedaddle back into the house in your dressing gown/loose clothing, and let your very even tan dry in comfort.
Talk about a deal on wheels.
