white or tanned skin?

[Ka-Talliya]

Okay, I'm going to weigh in on this subject, because I am a VERY pale girly. In fact, I've avoided the sun for about the past 4 years. Well, the past four months I was in the Middle East and had nothing better to do, so I decided to get a little tan. You know, soak up the radiation and see if my skin just burnt or if I actually could tan. I now have a light tan, however compared to my untanned parts, it's considerably darker. I like how it looks on me. It evens out my skin and all the veins that were visible before are better hidden now. Even the EVIL stretch marks on my stomach and legs are fading!!! I'm all for keeping up my tan...with bottled tan!! No more sun for me, just the fake stuff, hopefully it'll work well.

I don't think a tan is for everyone. In fact, a really good friend of mine who is from Thailand wants me to help her dress to look lighter skinned. I think it's hilarious, because she wants me to look whiter too.
