PS--This has nothing to do with Lipglossbaby's recent thread on tanning. I wanted to post this last night, but I'm lazy! 
Here's my rant for the day:
I just wanted to question why everyone is so obsessed with being a different color than they are? I know that alot of people think that they look "healthier" with a tan, but I think all you need is a little bronzer/blush to achieve that. I am so pale that my undertones are actually grey!!!  But I love it! I, and alot of the guys I know, think that there is nothing more appealing than dark hair with fair skin and rosy cheeks. I know it's a personal preference, but I guess I don't get it. Not that many years ago, it was considered to be regal and beautiful to be fair. Time's change I guess. I don't have a problem with people who sunless tan, but with all we know about cancer and premature aging, why risk regular tanning?
I co-owned a tatto shop for a while, and as standard shop procedure, we would take the driver's licences of EVERYONE, even if they were 60. A woman walked up to the counter, and said that she was getting a tatto for her birthday. She looked about 35, dark and wrinkly, but when I looked at her license, she had just turned 18!!!! 
On the flip side of the coin, you have Michael Jackson bleaching himself into a ghost. Why can't we be happy with the skin we're in? We all have things we would like to change, but why something so trivial? If you have acne, or horrible scars or wrinkles, feel free to try to remedy that, as long as you don't do anything that could jeopardize your health. I am all about self improvement, but there should be limits.
Sorry if it seems that I'm up in arms about the subject, but I lost my grandpa to skin cancer because he always worked in the sun with no protection. My mother for the sake of vanity, tans herself silly. She had to have a cancerous lesion removed. Thank god, she's ok.
PLEASE LADIES, YOU'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL, LOVE YOURSELVES FOR WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!  |
