The exhibit hall at the Smart Tan show was packed with all the industry's major vendors – spanning the categories of lamps, lotions, equipment, distributors, insurance, marketing and more.

This batch of photos includes lamp guru Bobby Wagner from JK-North America (is that his bodyguard?!), as well as the lovely and talented Katalina Pinkney of Palm Springs, Calif.-based Tahiti Waheenee. Pinkney may be the industry's youngest CEO, but don't try to convince her that it should slow her down! The company offers one of our favorite products – a moisturizer made from pure Tahitian coconut oil and rare tropical island flowers. The original formula has a gardenia fragrance; at the show, they unveiled a new scent for 2012: vanilla! It's on our "editor's pick" list for the New Year, for sure.
