Guess I'm just unnatural looking and dangerous. ::eyebrow wiggle a la Groucho:: I have a year-round tan, and I don't even go out in the sun. I have my Spanish ancestors to thank for my dangerosity.

Perhaps cran could have said the "self imposed tanned look"? But then again, maybe not

I am VERY fair. It's quite a contrast to my very dark hair and eyes (my eyes are very dark brown). I used to lay out to get a tan, but I really just ended up with a very bad burn.

Aww.... but I rather liked the thought of being dangerous.

I tend to think that girls like us can be quite dangerous with or without a tan, don't you think?

It's not the color, Ad, but the texture. That dry leathery look is awful. You still see women here who favor it. They're crunchy.

I know what you mean but just to let you know,among the Irish community in England,a "Tan" is a derogatory term for an Englishman.

Slan,

...not that I have ever used it of course...

Yeah, I grew up in Arizona, so I know what you mean.

Must be all the bug eggs.

edited to say that now whenever I hear "crunchy" all I can think of is that blasted chocolate thread!

Poor FlyDood. We've taken his thread from Dark Goddesses to dark crunchy women.

Well, then it must have been the wee bit of English that I got from my mother's side that made me do it

Yes, I agree. And I especially like the term 'crunchy' describing it. Hehe. I didn't mean to say that all people who were tanned were like that. They're not, of course.

Also, of course, tanning in the sun leads to cancer, especially if you're naturally lighter skinned (I never understood how John McCain survives in Arizona).

I never have either, but not for the color of his skin.

Har har! When I think back, I seem to remember him having skin cancer at some point, actually. I'm not positively sure, though.

Anne Graham Lotz is one of those crunchy women. Her poor skin looks like it's going to fall off:

Quite all right. Even here there are many women with the Death Valley texture.

Scary. They must've gotten hooked in the era when Coppertone oil with NO spf was the favored emollient.

I now feel fortunate that I was too restless to bother trying to get a tan, and nowadays I use sunscreen year-round, even on dreary wet days like today. One of the cats screamed when I put her outside.
