If 10,000 LA Biters opt for a self-tanner instead of a 10-min tanning-bed session, we'll save $200,000 in electricity.

In the film Coming to America, one the characters Eddie Murphy plays (Randy Watson) is in a band called Sexual Chocolate.

Here Comes the (Chocolate) Sun

The Bite

Long, cold(ish), lonely winter got you lookin' pasty? We say it's alright. Try an organic sunless tan at Chocolate Sun - no nasty chems, wrinkles, or UV exposure included, just herbs, wild-crafted botanicals, and natural antioxidants. CS will custom-blend a shade to your liking (orange is not an option) using DHA, a sugar derived from plants like beets and sugarcane. We got to pick an essential-oil scent to compliment our faux glow and spared our lunch date that fake-tan smell. Slather it on yourself, or get a profesh to spray it on (in 10 min or less) at the salon or on location (um, at your hotel), little darlin'.

Wanna Try

Chocolate Sun, 204 Bicknell Ave. at Main St., Santa Monica (310-450-3075). Full-body tan, $55.
