Dante\u00a0Fitzgerald\u00a0of Beach Bum Tanning is the self proclaimed “beast on the east ” coast of spray tanning, and his resume of celebrity clients definitely backs that up. You may remember actor Chris Pratt’s shoutout to Dante in his acceptance speech at the\u00a0Spike TV’s Guys Choice Awards. He says his client list also includes\u00a0Isla Fisher, Seth MacFarlane, Lady Gaga, Lindsay Lohan, Sia, Lance Bass, Kelly Osbourne, Paris Hilton, Clay Aiken, Anderson Cooper, Sam Rockwell, Bella Thorne, Demi Lovato, and more.<\/p>\n
“No matter who you\u2019re spraying\u2014you could be spraying the most famous person in the world \u2013 the one thing that everyone has in common is: when the clothes come off, it\u2019s maximum vulnerability. People are self-conscious about their bodies, especially famous people,” he says of his experiences with celebs.<\/p>\n
Dante also discusses his spray techniques, strategies for getting nervous clients to relax and some of his more…interesting experiences on the job.<\/p>\n
