Sammy Sosa says skin rejuvenation process reason his skin appears lighter
Maintains photo makes it look more pronounced than it is

Sammy Sosa tells friends he is comfortable in his own skin.

But a widely circulated photo of the former Cubs slugger makes his skin color appear several shades lighter.

"I'm not trying to be Michael Jackson," Sosa told former Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis.

Sosa was photographed recently during an appearance at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

"He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin," Polihronis said. "Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of (the photo appearance) is just the lighting.

"He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, 'If you saw me in person, you would be surprised.When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.'

"People who saw him in person did not react the same way. He can't believe it is such a big deal."

Polihronis, the former Cubs Care/Community Relations manager for the team, said Sosa told her he has used moisturizing treatment at night on his face.

"He has always been concerned with the way he looks," she said. "Probably just bad timing going to an awards show."

Among the possible side effects for some laser skin rejuvenation methods include discoloration of the skin. The treated area may become lighter or darker in appearance.

"He was doing a dermatological skin process after years and years (of playing baseball) in the sun," Polihronis said. "It is what a lot of people do. It did come out looking weird in the picture."

A few months back I was on a mustard kick, and was buying all these gourmet mustards. I bought one that was made with beer and it made me feel the same way. Didn't go that far, as I didn't want to be like that guy in college I knew who ate mayonnaise by the spoonful.

From what I read at Fleshbot, & the linked-to TMZ article therein, it sounds like a solo shoot, just flicking the bean.

Would be interesting to see how noisy she was, though.

Hartdegen, who transit police said appeared to be intoxicated when she fell, said she had drunk four 22-ounce beers, but she did not have a drinking problem and she felt fine when she walked to the station.

Hartdegen had scraped knees from the incident but was otherwise all right.

She told WCVB-TV that she was traumatized by her experience and afraid to go out in public because she was humiliated.

No one answered the door at her Cambridge home tonight.
