Tanning her hide

Electro-bronzed mom gets lambasted in New Jersey

Tanning her hide

POSTED: Thursday, May 3, 2012, 8:51 AM

A New Jersey mom who allegedly allowed her six-year-old daughter into a commercial tanning chamber has pleaded not guilty to a child endangerment charge.

“It’s a lie,” a dramatically electro-bronzed Patricia Krentcil told reporters Wednesday outside Superior Court in Newark.

Krentcil, 44, claims her daughter Anna got sunburned the old-fashioned way -- by playing outside.

“I’d never endanger her life by putting her under the ultraviolet light,” she said.

Krentcil's own epidermis is another matter; in videos and photographs, she looks sufficiently...unusual for a downtown fashion runway or renegade music video.

Perhaps she could be a TV spokesmodel for the latest tattoo/piercing/body mod products and processes with which millions of trendy consumers deface themselves, and the landscape, these days.

But since Krentcil lives in Nutley, rather than, say, LA, she's SO not cool.

"Ugly," "stupid" and "horrible" are some of the descriptives posted online.

And no less an authority than Snooki told Extra that Krentcil, whom she referred to as “that -----,” is “crazy.”

Arguably as crazy: After Anna complained of having a sunburn and babbled about tanning with mommy, someone at her school called the cops.

She has to have a mental condition - her skin is the color of Minwax Walnut stain. She's a loon

Holy...that woman needs psychiatric help. She's off her rocker if she thinks that is attractive.

1. The government has no right to be involved in this. What next? I'm arrested for letting my child play outside too long?
2. I believe the mother. The kids a red head and if she were in the booth for any time at all, she'd be burned.

she said in the interview that someone would have to be crazy to put a child in a tanning booth.....she says this with the evidence of her ample craziness literally all over her face. this story is hilarious....hopefully salons will see this chick is whacked and ensure that her kid never again gets into a booth with her

How does she think she looks good? It looks like a chocolate pudding exploded on her face.

Looks like she is applying for a job with Willie Wonka. Maybe we should all ask her for advice on how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey.

I heard she's changing her first name to "Melanoma". She tried to give it to her daughter too, but someone told the cops before she got a chance.

That's disturbing. There's not enough Genny Cream Ale in the world. If the Tonner woke up next to that and was able to resist the temptation to open up his veins right there, he'd swear off the Genny Cream Ale forever. You have the Tonner's word on that. Oh man, the Tonner just threw up in his mouth.

So where does one find Genny Cream Ale? State stores?

Genny Cream Ale is available in most reputable beer distributors and liquor stores.

At different times I've had two Bombay cats that color. The first had big gold eyes; the second big green. They are the friendliest, most loving cats in the world. They bring good luck.

republicrat and teebone40, that is soooo past wrong to say this woman wanted to be African-American. No human, African, Caucasian, Asian, Native American, etc. is naturally that color. She's fried more than her hide in that booth....her brain has been dehydrated to pea-sized if she thinks ANYONE,ANYWHERE, of ANY COLOR thinks THAT is attractive!
