Celebrities are people just like you and me and make mistakes just like everyone else. Included in this list are George Hamilton, designer Valentino, Sheryl Crow, Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera, Snooki, Lindsay Lohan, and Amy Winehouse. Hands and feet are usually the most difficult parts of the body to do a decent job with with a spray tan, as shown by Amy Winehouse's hand.

Hodge Twins...."But hey man, it's just advice. At the end of the day, you can do whatever the FUC/< you wanna do!"
