1. Easy for you to say.
I'm going to guess that you've never been pasty. :P

5. LOL! People used to ask me how I kept up my tan.
I said a few thousand years in Central America did the job. :)

17. We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. That real tan
lasted about five years and my friends couldn't believe a week could do that.

Maybe time to go back. :)

40. Absolutely! Peaches 'n' cream, it used to be called.
I'm not ashamed. I got a big tattoo on my leg so people would stop thinking I was wearing white stockings.

I love it. All the Goth kids envy me. :D

10. You gotta be careful with that stuff
I'm one of the pastiest people on the planet, and self-tanners always streak really badly on me. The only thing that ever works for me is Mystic Tan, where you go in the booth and it sprays you all over.

Being pasty sucks, especially during bathing suit season.

28. I have been inside for three days
with cramps and pms (not in that order). I HATE cramps and PMS.

I have emerged from my burrow to go swimming and walk dogs.

But my pastiness comes honestly, with British parents you know.

But you're right, I am a sun-worshiper.

Oh dear, now one of the cats has gone and guzzled drain cleaner. Brb.

Even the pricey stuff. My daughter can pull off the fake stuff, but I never can.

45. It's from back during the Ice Age.
The melanin deficient cave men were able to hide themselves among the glaciers long enough to reproduce!

47. Me too!
I've never had a tan. Just go from transparent to lobster red and then right back to transparent.

Now I found my birth family a couple years back and I had a great grandmother who was a blackfoot indian. She died about 6 months after I found my birth mother at 103 years old.

So....What I wanna know is...... WHERE THE HELL ARE THOSE NICE TAN GENES....

:cry:

Nope instead apparently (as usual) the Scot genes took over. Red hair, freckles everywhere, short as hell, and yes.... transparent (except for the freckles)

50. Yup....
But it sucks nto being able to go to the beach for the day or go out fishing unless it's early morning or evening. It limits alot since sunscreen never really works for me.
