In this week’s reminder of the world’s inevitable and fiery end, 45-year-old, shake-and-bake Patricia Krentcil of New Jersey decided it was a good idea to do a topless photo shoot on an unnamed beach.

Fair warning: What you’re about to see is a less toasty version of Krentcil, who was under fire (and not just from the sun’s surface) for allegedly taking her daughter to a local tanning salon and put her in one of the booths.

“It’s like taking your daughter to go food shopping,” Krentcil said in 2012. “There’s tons of moms that bring their children in.”

Will you step up to support New Times this year?

At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.

$30,000

Before you totally lose your lunch, there’s no evidence of Krentcil’s likely un-sunscreened child on the beach during her shoot — though Krentcil’s rumored to be in the works with a self-tanning lotion called ‘Real Tan Mom Healthy Glow’ with skin guru Dana Ramos.

The photos, via Pacific Coast News, are definitely NSFW.
