Next question, anyone have any recommendations for them spray on tans, dress has spaghetti straps and due to lack of sunbathing weather in sunny California I'm pasty white..

Go buy some bronzing powder and a big puff or brush. Lightly apply to your back, shoulders and chest. Add a bit of sparkle if you like... It will look great.
The other option is a tanning salon. If you choose the fast tanning type. Go for the stand up cubicle ones, as the lay on type can make you stripy looking.
This is from a woman who knows... LOL
Oh and just to reassure you... There will be loads of other women with white skin there too... With family and work, no time to sunbathe.... LOL
Just go have fun....
To be honest... The leather skinned women will actually be jealous of your skin.....

I had a spray tan called 'Mystic Tan', I think they're all over the country, they do have a website too... I was scared of the orange look, but it did look really good, and you can ask for the lightest if you're really, really white now!!

You'll have a blast if it's anything like the east coast work do I went to at christmas! The cocktails out here are nothing like the ones back home, they just don't believe in adding fruit juice or cream, it's pure alcohol! One or two of those and I'll guarantee you won't care where you are! Enjoy, but hope you get some nice shoes out of it!

As for the email, CEO gave a speech to all employees on the morning of our do, saying if anyhting happened we wouldn't be having another one. With so much free food and drink on offer, I think most people were moderately happy, but I don't think anyone really disgraced themselves...not like the office parties back home!
