The part that is ickiest is when the little girl said "I don't want to do this" and the mother told her she was doing it to be 'pretty'.

WTF?
Ok, that's kinda weird.

I'm extremely pale, and when I was a young teen my mom and I did fake tans together with some kind of drugstore product. Didn't cost any $1300, though...

Hime it gets better, mom spent $1300 layering the bed tan and the orange paint tan plus other products so daughter could look like Lohan for her school picture. There are many creative ways to screw up kids.

What better way to say "I don't like the way you look - I wish Lindsey Lohan was my daughter" - Hallmark?

Hallmark, when you care enough to tell your daughter she's not the very best.

I had to return to this thread and just say that I can't believe parents do this sort of shit. I'm flabbergasted. Almost (but not quite) speachless.

I just now watched the video. Did I hear that right, did the mom tell her daughter she had to do it, when she got scared in the booth?
