Worst: Tanning Mom

We’re not sure which was more disturbing: the fact that leather-faced Patricia Krentcil allegedly took her 5-year-old daughter with her into a tanning booth, resulting in second-degree burns, or the fact that she can look in the mirror and still think she needs more color. Krentcil later said despite her daughter’s sunburn, she hadn’t brought her into the tanning booth, just into the room with the tanning booth inside. She promises she has since kicked the tanning habit.
