I have it

Actually, I met with my advisor (I'm a college student) yesterday. He said my grades would be better if I would get off the golf course. The time I spent there was evident due to the tan.

Nothing awesome about a tan. Charring the only skin you'll ever own. Gad.

That women's major about 6 weeks ago was the ultimate example. The Asian winner looked ridiculous. I literally felt sorry for her down the road. I was impressed in Kim Welch's Big Break audition tape that she said she learned to load on the sun block, especially in summer. I figured that out at age 22 and can't imagine leaving the house without it. I load it on after a shower -- face, arms and around the neck.

I remember the pilot's wife in my neighborhood in Miami who tanned all day in the backyard when he was gone. As teenagers we thought she was amazing. Ten years later she was a prune who looked 15-20 years older than her chronological age, and he had long since divorced her.

My dad has had 15-20 procedures, problematic areas on his face and arms either burnt, frozen or otherwise treated. I know I won't avoid that completely but age 22 detour should have lessened it. Plus, I'm always mistaken for 6-10 years younger than my actual age.

Yup...

Pure white feet from the ankles down and from just above the knees up.
Face and neck are dark but well oiled. I do use a good sun screen and after skin moisturizer.

Not anything like my grandfather who was a farmer and worked every day.

I wear sandals everyday when I am on campus.....as a matter of fact, the only shoes I wear are for golf. I STILL have a sock tan.

The farmer's tan doesn't bother me nearly as much as my glove tan. It's getting absolutely ridiculous.

Also, I have the blessing of never having to wear sunscreen in the less-than-intimidating Michigan sun. 50+ rounds this summer and not one burn, but 1 round in Cabo, and I couldn't tell wear my pink shorts ended and my calves started.
