To tan or not to tan?

**luv** · 05-23-2006, 11:10 AM

I caved in. I'm a wuss. I couldn't handle the peer pressure. I was tired of everyone being darker than me. I hate laying out. I finally got 5 tans for $5 at a local tanning salon that my friend has gone to for 3 years. I never thought I would. I laid in there for 7 minutes today. As white as I am, they thought 10 minutes might burn me, let alone 20.

I don't want to look fake though. I figured these 5 visits will help me get started on a decent tan before the weather gets warm enough to swim.

No spray on? Tan.
A friends has their own tanning bed, never used it.

You HATE laying out?

My sis and I, when we were in our mid-to-late teens did nothing buy lay out all day by the pool. We loved it. Of course, my sister usually invited her hot friends to join us.

I find it funny that women in most of the world are obsessed with becoming lighter-skinned, while women in the U.S. want to be darker.

I myself prefer light skin on white women. For fantasies about darker skinned temptresses, there are plenty of minorities to choose from.

LOL...

If you like light skin, you'd love me. I just want some color. I wear khaki capris, and people say they can't tell wear the pant stops and my leg starts. That, or they say they need their sunglasses whenever I wear shorts.

If your that pale then congrats you have the same type of skin as Nicole Kidman who has never been accused of being unattractive. Wear clothes that will contrast well against your skin. Blues, Greens, Reds will all look good. I should know as I come from a long line of Irish/German whitey's. Bottom line you can look hot without damaging your skin. Further if you really want color get that spray on stuff. If it's done WELL you can't tell a difference.

I'm not alabaster. And no way am I using the spray on or No-sun tanning lotions. I had a friend make that mistake in high school.

That's why you should stick with black thigh-highs.

Bleh- light skin is one thing, but PALE skin is highly unattractive. A nice tan goes a long way to looking more attractive- too bronze and you look like a piece of meat left on the grill too long which can be disgusting on the wrong person.

Have you ever noticed the amount of indoor tanning lotion that has bronzer in it?

No, pale skin and redheads should be synonymous. They just go together.

I think we'll need pictures. Before and after. You know... to form an educated opinion. Preferable, immediately before and after you get on the bed. That'll be the most natural. Stickers optional.
