She's an American girl who did it because at the age of 16 she was smaller than her doctor's 8 year old daughter. Ultimately it was for aethetic reasons, at least that's the way I see it, but it was her doctor who suggested it..Ah ok i understand now. Then for Emma i guess she had a valid reason since she was abnormally short.

I could be, I live only some meters away from the beach and it's common for people here to have a tan during the summer, but I don't like it, I like my skin the way it is.You know what i mean though. Societies where ppl are pale tend to think oh how nice you have a tan. While often in some Asian societies pale skin, at least for women, is treasured. Just a general type of thinking, not every subscribes to it.
