These are Crone’s pins. She wishes. Crone cannot claim to own the doubles for such uber-svelte limbs, although the current sunshine has tempted her to flash a diffident ankle. Dumping tights for bare flesh is surely one of the year’s most liberating events, but the ‘daring to bare’ bit’s a tough gig. Easing rite of passage this time round is Guerlain’s Jambes de Gazelle. Naturally, the high camp name made Crone cackle with mirth, but the press demonstration - by none other than ‘Tanning King’ James Read was unusually encouraging. Unlike smelly, streaky self tans which stain your ankles an inelegantly Wagtastic orange, here’s a sweetly-scented, realistically-tinted and - joy of joys - predictable product that promises flattery without the faff. Wash-off tans like these put you in conrol - what you see is what you get and layering up to your individual ideal tone’s a doddle. Consequently, Crone’s normally ghostly limbs are temporarily sprayed a sheer, matt, light amber - the most convincing fake she’s found. How she loves this no-commitment, no-risk, no-Tango tanning. Might even wear a skirt tomorrow…..
