Patricia Krentcil, widely known as the 'Tanning Mom,' became an overnight internet sensation in 2012 following her arrest for allegedly taking her five-year-old daughter into a tanning booth. While she was ultimately cleared of the charges, her extremely dark, leathery complexion became the subject of intense media scrutiny and countless late-night comedy sketches. In the meme world, her image is primarily used to satirize sun worship, excessive tanning, or the feeling of being 'burnt out' by life. Her weathered appearance serves as a visual punchline for physical exhaustion or the unintended consequences of vanity, cementing her place in the hall of early 2010s viral figures.
