Hi San, pale skin is not good, but I am only competing Standard ( the costumes are long gowns), not Latin ( with very skimpy costumes), so you can only see my shoulders and ankles, so I can hopefully get away with it. I will actually apply one of those gradual body lotions with a self-tanner for a few days, so I am not going to be fluorescent white, but nowhere near the real self-tanner.
Yes, I do have to pile make-up like on Dancing with the Stars, and maybe even more. It is basically like stage make-up, and it involves, among other things, crazy fake eyelashes, fake nails and tons of glitter. The hair is even worse, beacuse it has to be an updo that will survive through all the sharp head movements in Tango. So you start with a tube of extra-strong gel, and millions of pins later end up using half a can of hair spray on it It takes me tree hours to do my hair and make up.
