For an even, natural tan

One of the problems with living in a tropical climate is that you tend to enjoy it a lot. It also means that you wear (What the Americans call Bermuda) shorts when you're out playing sport or working,

The upshot of that is that you end up with stark white feet, and incredibly darkly tanned legs.

No longer need you suffer this hideous and embarrassing condition. New UB Happy Hose (aka Tanning Socks) are impregnated with a slow release tanning compound that dyes your feet the required shade of brown to match your legs.

The Happy Sock Refiller Kit allows you to recharge the tanning ability of your socks, with just a 5 minute dipping in the two component chemicals (The composition of which is a closely guarded trade secret. Suffice it to say that vegetable and insect extracts are involved.)

Available in a range of sizes and lengths to suit even the most discerning buyer.

Yes, the solution will also work on your other underwear, if that floats your boat.

You could also use this material. http://tanthrough.com/

       No magic then?

       Not even magic bugs... just a few natural dyes and some beetle juice.

       Aw, and I was really looking for some magic socks to put on my invisible toes.

       You could also use the tanthrough material but I assume you've already bought your lifetime supply of bugs and vegetable extracts. Oh well.

       That's great, [NTSS], but you can't tan through your shoes. You chose your name well, asshopper.

UnaBubba, May 26 2006
  

       Doh! I forgot about the shoes! Damn the shoes! You truly are the ass-er, [UnaBubba].

       If you can take this Little Pebble, from my hand...

UnaBubba, May 30 2006
  

       Yuck. I'm not touching that thing. Especially from a guy I call the ass-er, no disrespect, of course. You keep it, as a memento of what we had together...

       part of the beauty of a tan is its contrast with virgin skin. Can you leave a clean spot where my anklet would be? Heart shaped pendant, please, just to be precious.

       You might have the opposite broblem with this, your feet would look tan but your legs would be too light. This would be hard to match perfectly.

       Flip-flops? I like the white y-shaped stripes that flip flops leave on the tanned foot.   

       Works on underbeneaths too, you say? But then you wouldn't get those nice white-triangled porn-baps.
