i have so many white girlfriends and my school is predominantly white..it seems like 60-70 percent of the white girls i know personally go tanning on a regular basis. one of my friends n i were talking about it in class and she said "omg i need to go tanning, i havent been in two days"...and i was like what the f.uck? - youre a skin cancer disaster waiting to happen. seriously though - IM BLACK AND SHE IS PRETTY MUCH AS DARK AS I AM. not to mention that lighter skin ages quicker partly because its more vulnerable to visible sun damage (uva rays) than darker skin....i dont get it....why dont they just go get a spray on tan. i convinced my bf (hes obsessed w/ being tan) to get a professional spray on and it turned out great but it was really expensive. they have lotion that gradually tans as well..and pale skin is just as beautiful as dark skin...i dont get it - are you TRYING to die? or do you just want even more wrinkles when youre 40? its a mystery...i dunno. whatever.
