I Am Pale In a World That Tans

I Hate Sunbathing

By: nicerain
Written on December 31st, 2007
I am pale not because I can't be tanned- my mum is very pale, being natural blonde, and she always tells me to sunbathe more. But, seriously, I hate that. Not to mention medical risks (skin cancer people !!!), more wrinkles ( suntan is just a damage of cells, and then because of it, increased production of melanin), and so on.  Also, lying on the beach just waiting to get sunburn is not for me.  I need to do something, like reading a book ( reading a book lying on belly some hours is not for me), doing a sudoku (the same) or listening to Mp3 player.
And sunburn is horrible. You can't even move without pain !

So, overall is ends being pale so much that people think I am ill :(

    "Are you sick? You look so pale." *giggle-giggle* I hate it when people ask that and the only problem is being more pale than then. =/

    Yes !



    And one of my classmates looks like an orange (or carrot :), it looks disgusting. I hope she isn't going to have skin cancer or sth like that.

    I agree!



    If I had to choose between orange glow and natural glow I'd go with natural glow.



    I think pale is beautiful and yes...natural glow. You are who you are and you shouldn't have to follow the trends of sun tanning to make yourself part of the crowd and be considered "hot" or gorgeous. I am especially annoyed with those tanning boothes..so artificial and I think those are also damaging to healthy skin.

    I think the same about wrinkles, it's unnatural and ugly when obviously old woman make a clown of herself with botox and such.

    Does it end up? Wow. Interesting. :)
